Hi all,

Please help a sister out. The Delta airline website is not fully updated for flight bookings from Nigeria, and their landline number is to going through. I'd like to know if anyone has taken a direct flight to atlanta from Lagos recently, and if it was up to par. I did Lagos New York via Arik air 2 years ago and the service was horrible all through, not even enough food to go round on a 10hr flight, plus really paper thin blankets. I wouldn't want to have a repeat of that and would appreciate comments please. Stay blessed!!!

Someone please help me now... I'm sure with the thousands of nairlanders in the diaspora I can get good feedback here. Moderators, please assist put this on front page. Thanks

Yes the Atl-Lag flight with Delta is still on.
Did a round trip recently. I and several others had issues with delayed luggage at both ends of the trip, so you might want to consider either a sole carry-on or be prepared to follow up with their luggage dept.
Based on the Arik experience, the Delta in-flight service is better.

Yes the flights are still running. You might want to log in directly to delta website to see the frequency.

Thank you all so much. I wonder why there would be baggage issues though. Didn't they load all the luggage on the flight, or were you connecting to another flight from Atlanta?

Well, my luggage got left behind both in Atlanta and in Lagos. One explanation I got was that it had been happening on the Lagos flight on several occasions because the flight was typically overloaded, with people bringing on tons of luggage, so that luggage would end up getting left behind and put on a later flight. I guess that's not surprising considering the way people pack like there's no tomorrow when flying to/from Lagos.
For me, it was ironic because I only had one piece of luggage, which consistently got left behind on the round trip.
Just keep track of all your luggage tags, boarding passes, flight details, etc., and Delta contact details for delayed baggage, etc., and follow up with them consistently. I complained on the Delta website, laid out all the details and sent them the receipts for the out of pocket costs I incurred due to the delay, and they agreed to reimburse me.
