🛫 Traveling Shouldn’t Be a Hassle—Here’s How to Make It Easier
Flying can feel overwhelming, especially with changing gate numbers, baggage limits, and the occasional delay. But it doesn’t have to be.
Take Lauren, a teacher from Chicago heading to Orlando for vacation. Her Delta Airlines experience was smooth—not because she got lucky, but because she followed the right tips and had someone to call when she needed help.
Whether it’s your first flight or your fiftieth, these seven pro tips will help you fly with confidence—and get support when you need it.

1. Download the Fly Delta App
If you’re flying Delta and don’t have the app yet, download it now.
Why it’s helpful:
- Check in 24 hours before your flight
- Get real-time gate updates
- Use mobile boarding passes
- Track checked bags instantly
- Rebook easily if needed
Lauren got an alert about a gate change before the airport screens updated—because she had the app. It saved her from rushing across the terminal.
2. Know the Baggage Rules
Delta allows one carry-on and one personal item for free on most U.S. flights, but checked baggage fees can add up quickly.
Domestic policy:
- First checked bag: $30
- Second checked bag: $40
- Overweight (50+ lbs): Additional charges apply
Weigh your bag before heading to the airport to avoid surprises. Need help adding a bag to your booking? Call Delta or reach out to MyTripDesks anytime.
3. Check In Early
Checking in early can make a huge difference. You’ll have more seating options, shorter wait times, and a better chance of keeping your flight status secure—especially if you’re flying Basic Economy.
You can check in via the app, online, or at a kiosk. If you’re having trouble checking in or want help adjusting your seat, MyTripDesks can take care of it quickly.
4. Take Advantage of Free Inflight Perks
Delta’s economy service is better than most. Even short domestic flights include complimentary:
- Snacks and beverages
- Seat-back screens for movies and TV
- Free texting via Wi-Fi
- Full meals on longer flights
Lauren flew from Seattle to Boston and was surprised by the quality of the food and entertainment—all included with her ticket.
5. Choose the Right Seat
Not all airplane seats are equal. If you’re not in Basic Economy, book your seat early to avoid the dreaded middle seat. Use tools like SeatGuru to check legroom and layout.
Upgrades like Comfort+ offer extra space, earlier boarding, and dedicated overhead bin space—often for a small fee. MyTripDesks can help you upgrade or make last-minute changes if needed.
6. Access Delta Sky Clubs (Even If You’re Not Flying First Class)
Delta Sky Clubs offer a peaceful escape from the terminal crowds. Features include:
- Complimentary snacks, coffee, and drinks
- Business lounge amenities
- Fast Wi-Fi and charging ports
- Quiet, clean restrooms
You can access lounges with a Delta Reserve or Amex Platinum card, or by purchasing a one-time pass. If you’d like to explore options, MyTripDesks can assist with lounge access and availability.
7. Handle Delays Like a Pro
Delays and cancellations happen—but the way you respond makes all the difference.
Use the Fly Delta app to stay informed and rebook quickly. If you’re stuck or need a refund, skip the long hold times and call MyTripDesks for fast support.
Lauren’s flight from Atlanta to New York was delayed three hours, and MyTripDesks got her rebooked and even helped her access a lounge while she waited.
Final Thoughts
Flying Delta Airlines is a solid choice for U.S. travelers, but the experience becomes even better when you’re prepared and supported.
Whether you need to book a flight, rebook after a cancellation, handle baggage issues, or find the right seat, MyTripDesks is here 24/7 to assist.
