Honeymoon flight disaster
We were supposed to be celebrating the start of our new life together, but instead, my wife and I found ourselves seated ten rows apart on our international honeymoon flight. The romance of flying off into the sunset together? Completely shattered by Delta’s cold, impersonal seat assignment system. I always thought those stories about airlines splitting up couples were just scare tactics to get you to pay more. Turns out, it’s all too real.
I was ready to do anything—sign up for every credit card, pay extra fees, even beg at the gate—just to sit next to my wife. The thought of spending our first hours as a married couple separated by a sea of strangers was infuriating. I couldn’t believe that after all the money we spent, Delta still treated us like random ticket numbers, not people.
After a tense hour of frantic searching and escalating frustration, I finally tried Delta’s live chat. Miraculously, they moved us together without me having to confess my booking blunder. But the damage was done—the stress, the anxiety, the feeling of being just another cog in the airline machine. It’s a harsh reminder: airlines don’t care about your special moments, just their bottom line. Next time, I’ll be ready for the fight.
