For those of you who are frequent flyer mileage junkies with Delta Air Lines or for those of you who booked a ticket on Delta recently, you might have already seen Delta.com‘s new website design. The website features 5 core options: SkyMiles Login, Book a Trip, My Trips, Check In, and Flight Status. Design wise, this is a straightforward website and easy to navigate, however beware that most of the website has yet to be converted to the new style.
Compared to the old look of Delta.com, I like it a lot better because it feels less cluttered. It’s easy to book, manage, check-in and check flight statuses on the website, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the entire site in this design. The site still has a few minor kinks yet to be ironed out, but there is a nice forum thread on FlyerTalk where a few users have reported their issues.
Most low-cost carriers, along with new entrants, appear to have a good eye for website design. Some legacy carriers could use an upgrade, but I have been impressed with some of the booking features US Airways has implemented and look forward to seeing how Delta.com’s booking engine / flight selection page turns out. Generally speaking, the simpler, the better.
Feedback: What’s your favorite airline website? What’s your least favorite airline website?
Looks good! However my favourite – Small Planet Airlines – http://www.smallplanet.aero
AirCanada.com is my favorite because I can find information quickly and easily. Plus it’s the one where I go first to check for fares and schedules.
On the other hand, while AirTransat.ca sometimes offers lower fares and direct flights, good luck finding out on what day of the week the direct flight leaves… Even basic stuff like flight status or seat maps are difficult to find.
I just found your blog and it looks interesting! I’ll be sure to follow it.
Unfortunately the new website has removed the functionality where you could check the Upgrade List. Now you have to call for this information I was told.
