In the meantime I did get the info I needed.
It seems that as of 2018 Delta “buddy pass” riders will have to have a Delta employee with them when they use this almost free pass (most likely) in Delta One/First. If they don’t you will be in the back.
Why?
My guess is all the negative PR from ‘LeggingsGate ‘
Sometimes I do think that PAX should dress up better in Delta One/First, just for respect for the one who do and FA and airline.(NO trouble for the airline please..)
@Spock, my retiree is still an (international) frequent flyer, and always keep close eye or phone on my trip. That’s why we do have plan B. I usually fly AMS>ATL>DAB, but what we see often that the AMS ATL leg is growing fast during the night before. So plan B is ready to move over to AMS>DTW>ATL.
And yes, he does a briefing (Buddy-quette, flying in comfort and style…”) and always ask me how did it go. I try to be ‘no pain in the ass ‘ for FA or staff, and pay respect to their work and even where I can help during boarding with carry-ons.( I’m Dutch,6'6" and close to the overhead compartments)
Last year on a flight from DTW> AMS the FA stopped on her round. She started a conversation with me and thanked me for choosing DL. She showed great interest and told me that I’m a perfect example for a non-rev passenger. Nice, hu?
Will C how it goes sept. 12th AMS>ATL.
Safe Travels..
