This is the letter I sent to delta that explains my issue:
Required: yes *Message: I have flown with Delta as long as I can remember because I am in a military family. When I first started researching prices I called Delta customer service for pricing and information on disabled seating. The gentleman informed me that i could book my flights elsewhere to Cape Town, South Africa but I could call back to be upgraded to economy comfort at no charge. I booked with Expedia and called the customer care to get the upgrade. The supervisor told me that she had upgraded my seats for 3 out of the four legs of y trip. My seat was fine on my trip from Atlanta to Amsterdam on April 4th. However, my seat from Amsterdam to Cape Town was a disater. I was seated in economy with little to no leg room. I have spina bifida and need to be able to stretch out my legs to prevent my chronic nerve pain from becoming terrible. Even with an aisle seat there was still no leg room and I had to sit uncomfortable in pain fir almost 12 hours! Upon arriving to my hotel in Cape Town, South Africa I promptly called customer care to complain and confirm that my seat from Johannesburg to Atlanta was in economy comfort so I would not be I pain for the 16 hour flight. From April 5th up untik my departure on April 12th, I spoke with several departments trying unsuccessfully to get my seat fixed. I was even told by Flight Supervisor Dennan Ballakistan at Johannesburg that my seat in economy comfort was bumped and he could see where I was moved frim that seat for a paying customer. When I inquired getting back my economy comfort seat he stated they would not move a paying customer, even if I was placed in that seat by a supervisor over a month ago to accommodate my disability. I was appalled and at that point knew I was being discriminated due to my disability and no one at Delta was going to honor or fix the issue that was given to me by a supervisor over a month before I traveled. I made the arrangements a month in advance so I would not have to deal with any hassles and ennoy my trip, instead I spent every night on the phone talking with Delta customer care to get them to honor the request but each time I was told they would not move a paying customer to seat me back In my seat no matter if the seat was given to me by a supervisor. I prefer flying Delta as I feel its a true American company that I am happy to support. However, I feel that I have been discriminated because of my disability and would like Delta to either refund my money for the DL201 flight or some other compensation that Delta deems necessary to correct the situation unjustly caused upon me. Thank you for your time. |
