Fly Delta, a smartphone app offered by Delta Air Lines, Inc., is a one-stop-shop program for travelers who wish to address all aspects of their flight experience in one simple package. Fly Delta, found on both Android and iOS platforms, is aimed at making flying even more accessible by providing customers with real-time data, booking capabilities, and many personalized elements to make the entire experience as easy as possible. The app does everything, from booking flights to checking in, selecting seats, tracking bags, and even looking at airport maps. The more the airline relies on technology, the more features the app has added over the last few years, and it has become a necessary travel tool for any Delta traveler.

The primary purpose of Fly Delta is to deliver users an easy-to-use interface which helps them operate their flight bookings. From the app’s start the user encounters an orderly dashboard displaying essential flight data alongside check-in possibilities and traveling schedules. Users find it most remarkable that flight information modifications and visibility work through an easy-to-use interface. The application offers instant access to flight management services including check-in and seat upgrades which users can simply handle through two tap commands. The app’s connection with Delta SkyMiles functions superbly because users can check their flight points and trade them for benefits from one unified interface.

One of the convenient features of the app is a service for tracking bags. Travelers can track in real-time their bags, be they on the same flight as themselves. The feature is complemented by the addition of terminal maps of airports in a well-organized and easy-to-interpret format, with such valuable information as gates, walking time, and delays. The map feature is especially helpful for travelers who need to travel through enormous or foreign airports. The other remarkable feature is the live flight tracking. Travelers receive real-time flight data which displays movement information including altitude and speed and exact position along with an excellent flight visualization through the app.

Most features on the app deliver top performance but the system requires improvements in select functions. One of the possible areas for development is the way seats are chosen. While the app is great in showing seats that are available, the map view can be more interactive with greater detail of the aircraft configuration. The app occasionally has small bugs, particularly during busy times like holiday periods, where push notifications for flight status updates get delayed. There is also no night mode, which is crucial to several users to reduce eye strain when organizing travel in the evening.
