Why are seats blocked off on Delta?


Why are seats blocked off on Delta? In 2020, the airline blocked middle seat use to honor social distancing, and now the airline is blocking off whole rows to allow families and groups to travel together. The airline is blocking a handful of rows in the main economy cabin for those traveling as a group.


What does it mean when your seat is not assigned?

It just means that your seats aren't assigned yet. The seatmap doesn't show all available seats because not all seats are assignable in advance. You will get seats at check-in or at the gate.


What happens if no one volunteers for an overbooked flight Delta?

Notice of Overbooking of Flights
If there are not enough volunteers, the airline will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions, persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation.
