How to fix Delta Air Lines not working
Delta Air Lines is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach delta.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Restart Fly Delta or your browser
Close the Fly Delta app from your phone's app switcher, then open it again. On a computer, sign out of the website and back in, or load the site in a private window if the sign-in page or flight status page hangs.
Check Delta's official status page
Open Delta's official status page to see flight-specific notices before you retry check-in or a boarding pass. The report level shown here counts user problem reports in 15-minute windows across a 24-hour period and does not ping or probe the service; a mismatch can still mean the trouble is local to your account or device.
Clear Fly Delta cache or reinstall
On Android, open Settings > Apps > See all apps > Fly Delta > Storage & cache > Clear cache, then reopen the app. On iPhone, delete Fly Delta and install it again from the App Store; this clears local data, so sign in again and reopen your trip.
Try another network, then Delta's help centre
Switch from Wi-Fi to cellular data, or turn airplane mode on for a few seconds and then off, and test flight status again. If the app fails on one device but works on another, use Delta's help centre comment/complaint form with the exact error text and your device model.
While Delta Air Lines is down: what to use instead
- Delta website Use it if the app will not load and you need to check a flight or print a boarding pass.
- Airport kiosk Print a boarding pass or check in there when you are at the airport and the app is stuck.
- Ticket counter Ask an agent there for rebooking or baggage help if you cannot use the app or website.
- Official flight status page Check it for gate and delay updates before you leave for the airport.
Problems at the same time as Delta Air Lines
Since 27 October, Delta Air Lines's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Delta Air Lines goes down
Delta Air Lines is a major US airline whose app and website handle booking, check-in, seat selection, and flight status; travelers, business flyers, families, and cargo shippers rely on it to move on schedule. An outage interrupts the trip before the airport, because reservations and check-in stall while mobile boarding passes or gate changes go missing.
The first sign is a login loop or a stalled check-in, and the mobile app may load your itinerary while refusing to open a boarding pass. Flight status often fails next. Seat selection and bag tracking fail because those tools pull from the same account and reservation systems, and airport self-service check-in or bag drop can back up even when the website still shows your reservation. Problems are often regional or partial: one airport or route can be hit while other flights and booking paths keep working.

How we track Delta Air Lines
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Delta Air Lines, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Delta Air Lines, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Delta Air Lines's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
