If you are driving a Delta airline in the United States, make sure you bring your watch and transfer. Now you have to arrive at the airport earlier to get all the services you pay for.
Prior to this week, the airline told customers that they could check at the airport within 30 minutes before departure, and then check the bags could still be delivered to the plane.
But as of April 8, the airlines have changed this deadline, and if you are not aware of the change, you may end up at the airport too late.
From now on, Delta insists that domestic passengers must not check later 45 minutes before departure; Otherwise, their checked bags may not be added to the ship.
This adds 15 minutes, just the deadline to complete the check-in. All travelers were frustrated to realize how long the airport boarding station could last. Therefore, in practice, Delta customers need to arrive at the airport 45 minutes in advance so that they can join the route.
The boarding deadlines at some airports are even earlier than 45 minutes. At Kennedy International Airport in New York City, one of the most critical and busiest airports in the world, the current deadline is 60 minutes before departure.
In the Virgin Islands, the deadline is now 60 minutes in St. Croix, while in St. Thomas, also serves St. John with a deadline of 90 minutes.
Delta Fees $35 Check a package $45 to check the second one. No, even if the airline inconveniently adds that you purchase this service at the airport, these prices won’t drop.
There is no doubt that the additional inconvenience will drive more customers to bring their luggage into their carry-on baggage. This will make the boarding gate a more brutal stage for early gladiatorial competitions.
If you haven’t checked any bags on your Delta flight, you still have to check in 30 minutes before departure If you want to get on the plane.
For international flights, Delta still wants you to have a full check within 60 minutes of departure, except at JFK and Virgin Islands, the airline prefers 90 minutes ahead.
By the way 6 hours.
