Default Complaint about Delta Airlines

My husband and I bought round trip direct flights from Portland to London in April 2019 for $1248.51 each a few months ago (July 31, 2018). Since then Delta has changed the flight details three times: 1) no longer a direct flight 2) flight times have changed 3) today it was revealed that our flight to Seattle arrives 2 hours LATER than our connecting flight to London.

When I called Delta to ask for an earlier flight to Seattle so we could make our connection they found an earlier flight and I was charged $301.96 more per person amounting to $603.92 additional charge for changes that were no fault of our own and made by Delta months after we purchased the tickets. Since this was their mistake to begin with I feel like Delta is using the "bait and switch" method. We originally paid for a direct flight for $1250 and now we're paying $1550 each for a flight with one stopover through no fault of our own.



Do consumers have any recourse for this rip-off? We realize we have no clout with a big corporation who could probably care less that this is a hardship for us. In what universe does it cost $301.96 for a one-way flight from Portland to Seattle? We are extremely upset - not only for Delta not giving us another option at the same price, but for using what we feel is a dishonest ploy to get people to pay more money for their flights. It might be helpful for Delta to add to their website a disclaimer that consumers should be prepared for several changes and additional charges to their planned reservations.

Did you book with Delta? If you did, they should take care of any of the problems.
