A little bit shocked/disappointed no other airline has followed in Deltas footsteps extending status til 2022. Looks like it’s time for a status match

This is why I am a delta lifer. No airline is perfect (or even great), but delta is one of the best

Does it extension show up on the app? I made plat in 2019, which theoretically should be covered under the extension but my 2022 status still shows as basic Skymiles Member.

It hasn’t processed yet; I think last year they didn’t do it until a couple months after they announced it.

This year, I’m guessing they wait until January (Medallion benefits expire 1/31) since they’ll need to distinguish extensions from people who earned it the hard way (no choice benefits for extensions this time).

Delta is by far the best - both in terms of operational excellence and in-flight experience. They struggle with ticket price (they are, on average, 10% more expensive for the same routes/times vs. competitors). My partner works there and it’s a great company to work for - they treat their employees incredibly well.

They are one of the few American airlines that can charge a premium on a largely commoditized product because of their differentiators. Pretty rare to be able to do so successfully.

I’m a Delta lifer too. I don’t get why other airlines aren’t doing this, they are letting all of their clients with status become free agents.

Still would've been a delta lifer even if they didn't do this. I remember getting on a united flight to CA and thinking am I flying in 1990.

Any Chicagoans delta customers? How’s that been? Want to make the switch from United but Chicago not being a hub has me hesitating - afraid of not having as many direct flight options

I used to be hub captive to ORD and still did about 95% of my flights on DL. Connecting usually isn’t a pain, and I always preferred it to a nonstop on UA or AA.

I think DL has nonstops to BOS, LGA, JFK, ATL, DTW, MSP, SEA, CVG, SLC, and RDU from ORD - most of its hubs and focus cities. Guessing that after they move to T5 they’ll be able to pick up LAX and maybe BNA or AUS as well.
