Delta Jumpseat Ques.

[POKEY]

Does anyone know how accurate the loads are on the delta.com website? Flights look pretty good on there but its tough to know what they really look like.

I wouldnt trust them. I have been jumping on Delta for the last couple weeks and the loads they show on there website seem to show open seats that arent there when I arrive at the gate...best of luck, hope youre a CASS member.

I think some other said (and I believe him) that the seats that are showing "open" are not really "open".

They are simply seats that have been sold but not assinged to the customer yet but show open.

I don't think Delta.com updates the loads constantly. I would not trust it. A lot of people list at the airport too for non revving, so they may not appear on the list until an hour or so before the flight. If it says it is wide open, expect there to be a few seats left. Summer flying will be full on most flights I would bet. Don't take your family somewhere and expect to get home on the day you want to.


Bye Bye--General Lee

What do you commuters use to check loads? Expedia?

Yup, esp now that a lot of the res centers have been outsourced. I have on several occasions called USAir & Delta's res center and what it used to take me 30 secs to do now takes 10+mins and half the time the give me wrong load info.

I'm looking at J/S on DAL tomorrow night and was wondering if DAL still has the same policy of number of jumpseaters as jumpseats. Or, has it been changed to something else (i.e. unlimited cabin seating)? thanks for your help

Yeah, on Delta the "open" seats are just seats that customers have not picked when they bought their ticket. Case in point if you ride the shuttle between DCA and LGA it will show 134 open seats but that's because the shuttle doesn't assign seats. Delta res cannot divulge number of unoccupied seats, but they can tell you if it looks good or not. Even if there is a lot of availibility, watchout for long non-rev lists. 45 listed on a lga-atl flight yesterday.
