Calling this Delta Airlines Customer Number

By Jeff Whelpley

Sep 17, 2024

I have been trying to book a flight to LA and it seems like the Delta website changes daily attempting to find the best price. I'm getting frustrated trying to figure out the gates since I need accommodation for someone I'm traveling with, so I decided just to call them to book my flight. 

I know that airlines are busy and that customer service isn't always their best service, so I wasn't sure how it was going to go when I decided to call Delta but I had to give it a shot. When I called a voice assistant answered and said, "Hi, thank you for calling Delta Airlines. To get you to the right place, what can I help you with today?"

I answered "Book a flight to LA." Then the voice assistant asked me what payment method I was using to pay for the trip and I answered that I would pay with a credit card. Then it asked me, "I can help you to complete your booking online while you are waiting to talk to a specialist. Can I send you a link to get started?" 

I didn't want to go online since that was my original problem, and the automated assistant answered, "Your current wait time to talk to a specialist is 51 minutes. So I can pass this on to your specialist, where are you flying from then?" 

After I said LA, it still didn't send me to a customer representative and tried again to persuade me to use digital means to book by saying, "For faster service, you can message with us and decrease your wait to 9 minutes. Press 1 for Android and 2 for Apple iOs."

It was clear at this point that Delta really didn't want to offer live service, but when I declined again it did offer me a callback service. It was almost an hour later, but the representative did call me back and I was able to complete my purchase. 

Jeff truly believes that all customers deserve good service. He’s been building tools, inventing phone tree hacks and helping customers since before his days at GetHuman. He's also a Google GDE and involved in the Angular community.
