Has anyone flown ITA airlines via Delta (still an ITA aircraft) to Israel with a stopover in Rome.
Any tips or advice for a large family with small children?
The tickets are significantly cheaper and the stopover is 1 hr 45 min both ways

emailed delta recently regarding service about going back to pre covid ways. i keep hearing oh were working on it. well according the response i got it looks like they are not looking to go back to there pre covid ways, they seem to be looking to go the other way. below is a portion of there response:

"I am sorry to hear that you continue to be disappointed with the lack of meals and special meal services on our flights. It is our goal to offer you the best service possible each and every time you travel with us. We currently do not have an expected date of when this might change.

As of January 25, 2022 we announced that the Delta One amenity kits would be replaced by the brands, Someone Somewhere and Grown Alchemist. To be completely transparent Delta is continuing to pair down onboard food and beverage to essential offerings and adjusting in-flight service processes on all U.S. domestic and short-haul international flights. We should still be offering the Dasani water bottles and pillows and blankets upon request. All glassware, including coffee mugs and champagne flutes, has been removed from every Delta flight. Hot towel service is also suspended temporarily from every Delta Flight."

Not direct answer, but at some point their passes were half price with the delta gold card, which was about $35

Does Delta Platinum Medallion status allow a free checked bag even on basic economy (E) fares?
PM me for airline compensation help. Your case is not lost!

Delta just revamped their service to get really close to pre covid and maybe even better. And I was just in first class and served in a glass… they have kosher meals and premium and snacks

Delta scrapped a good chunk (most?) of their direct flights from JFK to PTY. Got put on a one stop through Atlanta for later this year.
Sundays seem to be the most consistent with direct flights both directions.
Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

Is there another way to book a domestic Delta flight in the US with points besides for their own program?
I’m trying to find partners that may have a better rate with points.
Thanks

Virgin Atlantic often is cheaper than Skypesos for Delta flights

Parental control alert. Delta is working on free wi-fi for everyone?

339 is significantly more private. Only benefit to ex-latam is significantly better foot space
