Delta's cancellation policy gives you until midnight of the next day, and that's great for booking on Friday for and canceling after shabbos.

If I book with Chase points via chase's portal, does this still apply or does it go back to 24 hours?

Not sure why this thread is out of date. At any rate. I have a group booked on Delta, was told by groups dept that pax will be able to upgrade to comfort plus after ticketing, but system would not allow. Called customer service (not group desk) and was told comfort plus isn't available for groups, I stated what we were told otherwise by group agents and that some have difficulty with knees etc (older group) and on that basis agent was able to override and upgrade the passengers I identified as mecially necessary. After phone call, I realized only one of the 3 pax truly had a medical need, the other 2 don't exactly qualify., they were on the list because they had requested it, intending to pay for it. My question, does Delta verify at the airport that the passengers they changed to comfort plus indeed required that upgrade from a medical standpoint? Should I call back to downgrade those two pax? No intent on making a chillul Hashem.
Any input appree

Almost certainly not.

I bought 4 tickets on a DL flight, when I bought the tickets all of Economy seats were taken so I did not pick seats, I figured it would sort itself out and DL would assign the whole family seats together. It is a few days before the flight and so far DL did not assign seats to family yet. Will DL assign the family seats together, do I have anything to be worried about?

Seems like Delta is running a mileage sale, I was able to book tickets NYC to TPA for 4,500 miles each way in September, also see 8k to LAX, 7k to GCM and 6.5k to MIA. Probably many other cities but I didnt check

Cash price on 4500 +5.60 days is somewhere around 70usd. So ur not really getting any value.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Make a difference for big people
It is a little more comfortable and you get to leave plane faster and you get food and drinks first

To the best of my knowledge yes, I did book DL with VS  a few months ago and it was fine.  Unfortunately I can rarely find DL tickets with VS miles.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.
Pele Good,Maradona Better, George Best.
