NEW: Delta says it is giving a break to flyers who can’t get through jammed phonelines to change/cancel a flight.
“If you don’t take your flight, your ticket number automatically becomes an unused eCredit within 24 hours.”
Seems to apply to March-April flights.
BREAKING: Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport (
@mspairport
) will require face masks of all travelers starting next Monday, July 27 after a governing board's vote today.
It's one of a handful of airports nationwide to make face coverings mandatory.
A Delta employee who has seen the airline's internal scheduling tells us there are hundreds of Delta flights this weekend and next week that still do not have pilots assigned.
Buckle up. 🚨
BREAKING: Delta just announced an unparalleled free change policy over the July 4th weekend, sending off major alarm bells for more delays and cancellations
Our hearts are heavy this morning with the news of Anthony Bourdain's passing. He was a huge influence on travelers worldwide. His incredible storytelling made faraway places seem familiar. How did he influence your travels?

@Delta
has now banned almost 1,000 flyers for refusing to wear a mask onboard.
Come tomorrow, it won't just be airline policy. Wearing a mask on planes will be a federal law.
We’ve heard from nearly a dozen travelers who returned to the U.S. in the last 24 hours from Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, the Philippines, and beyond.
None were screened, had their temperature checked, or even asked any questions about their travel.
Attention Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) travelers: Security is about to get ugly.
Starting Monday, Aug. 19, all travelers who don't have TSA PreCheck can only use the North Security checkpoint. Travelers with PreCheck will use the South checkpoint.

After months of mass cancellations with no signs of stopping, it's time for travelers to get some real rights and protections.
It's time for the U.S. to require passenger compensation for these disruptions.
Stop using Expedia to search for cheap flights. Stop using Hopper, Skyscanner, Momondo, and others.
Start using Google Flights. That's it. That's the tweet.
American Express fancies itself a premier financial institution and a must for travelers.
The "Extreme Couponing" mindset required to use any of its cards now feels just the opposite.
We stick to covering the news & travel tips. This is the first time we've published an editorial. We don't do it lightly.

BREAKING: Southwest is partnering with Icelandair, finally giving its flyers (and Rapid Rewards points hoarders) a way to get to Europe.
And more airline partners are in the works
UPDATE: Delta is now waiving change and cancellation fees for all domestic and international travel through April, one of the biggest moves from an airline amid the coronavirus outbreak
Delta's standard main cabin fares still earn at least 5x miles per dollar you spend on your ticket - but you often have to pay $70 (or much more) to avoid basic economy.
A year ago, we published our first-ever opinion piece calling on U.S. officials to step up and hold airlines accountable for mass cancellations.
A year later, another airline is melting down ... but nothing has changed. It's time.
Now Delta gets to proclaim it's "the only U.S. airline blocking middle seats" until spring. That's the point.
Delta has long been viewed the best US airline. That's not just about seats & on-time record. Delta is also a master at drawing contrasts and crafting a narrative. /end
BREAKING: Delta is extending all travel credits set to expire this year all the way through 2022.
It's the biggest move yet by an airline to give travelers more time to use credits from canceled trips.
"I've had a good run flying with Delta, but I'm done – done going out of my way to earn the increasingly expensive (and progressively meaningless) Medallion Status."
