Delta Airlines Status FAQ
Is Delta Airlines down right now?
Check Downdetector for community outage reports and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both sources confirm issues, Delta is likely experiencing a widespread outage.
Why can't I access my SkyMiles account?
SkyMiles login failures can indicate a site outage, expired sessions, or account-specific issues. Try resetting your password or call Delta at 1-800-221-1212 for assistance.
Why is the Fly Delta app not working?
App issues may stem from a server outage, outdated app version, or device problems. Update the app, restart your device, and check if delta.com works as an alternative.

Use the Fly Delta app, check in at an airport kiosk, or visit a Delta agent. Your reservation is stored in Delta's system and will be accessible to airport staff regardless of web issues.
