Compass Airlines Customer Commitment
In the air and on the ground,
online and on the telephone, our customers have the right to expect – to demand
– respect, courtesy, fairness, and honesty from the airline they have selected
for travel.
At Compass Airlines, the only
acceptable customer service experience is one in which you arrive at your
intended destination safely, comfortably and on-time. When events and obstacles beyond our control,
such as severe weather or Air Traffic Control delays prohibit us from achieving
this standard, we strive to minimize customer inconvenience however possible.
Our 12-point Customer Commitment
outlines the ways in which we strive to keep our customers feeling relaxed,
respected, and rewarded both during and outside of normal flight operations.
Our Customer Commitment is a
living document that is reviewed frequently and updated regularly to ensure it
remains current, relevant and compelling.
Our Commitment:
We will
work with Delta Air
Lines to offer customers who contact reservations or
book through Delta’s website (www.delta.com), the lowest available fare for which they are eligible and
the most logical routing given the date, destination(s), flight(s) and class of
service requested.
Reservations
for Delta Air Lines flights operated by Compass Airlines may be obtained
through Delta Air Lines by calling 800-221-1212 or via the website at
www.delta.com.
Our
commitment:
We will
provide Delta Air Lines timely information regarding delays, cancellations, and
diversions so our customers will be aware of any change in their flight(s).
Because we know
that timely and accurate communication regarding travel interruptions is of
utmost importance, we will make every effort to provide Delta Air Lines and
our employees with the most accurate, up-to-date information as frequently
as possible. This information is linked to automated systems to deliver delays
or cancellation information quickly.
As soon as we
become aware of a service interruption, we will relay the information to Delta
Air Lines so they can proactively take steps to help customers reach their
intended destination with minimal interruption. We will also notify the
affected station so Delta’s staff can relay timely, clear and concise
information to customers in the boarding gate area. They will also update
customers regarding the reason for the delay or cancellation as it becomes
available.
When making your
reservations, providing contact information can assist in reaching you in the
event a delay or cancellation becomes apparent before you leave for the airport
or while you are in transit.
Our Commitment:
It is our intention to deliver your baggage on time;
however, in the event this does not occur, we will make every effort to return
baggage within 24 hours. We will
compensate you for reasonable expenses that result
due to a delay in delivery. Additional
information is available at www.delta.com.
Notify a Delta
employee at the airport if you cannot locate your baggage. To check on the progress of our bag(s)
search, call 800-325-8224 or go to Delayed,
Lost, or Damaged Baggage on delta.com and use the Track Checked Baggage
tool.
It is recommend
you attach a baggage identification tag to each bag clearly displaying your
name, address and telephone number. In addition, we suggest you place your
contact information and a copy of your itinerary inside your bags. Be sure to
carry necessity items like medications, keys and passports, as well as
valuables with you on the aircraft. Always
use baggage designed to withstand the stress of airport baggage handling
systems and avoid over-packing.
Our Commitment:
Customers
who purchase a ticket for travel on our flight(s) may cancel their reservation
without penalty within 24-hours of purchase.
This will allow customers to compare fares with those of other
airlines. Fares and seats are subject to
availability and may change at any time prior to purchase.
Our Commitment:
All refunds for Compass Airlines are processed by Delta
Airlines. Refunds will be issued within
seven business days for credit card purchases, and 20 business days after
receiving a complete refund request for purchases made by cash or check. Refunds will also be issued on fees charged
for optional services if you were unable to use the services due to an oversale situation or flight cancellation. For refund assistance:
Go to Applying for a Refund on Delta.com for online refund information. Requests for refunds may be submitted to any
Delta ticketing location or your travel agent.
Refunds for electronic tickets may be requested by calling Reservations
Sales at 800-221-1212. For questions on
how to apply for a refund or check the status on a refund request, call
800-847-0578 or 404-715-5417 (8:00am-5:00pm EST).
Our
Commitment:
Accommodating
the special needs, including individuals with disabilities and unaccompanied
minors, is a top priority at Compass Airlines.
We conduct ongoing training for employees who work in customer contact
positions to ensure all customers with special needs receive the level of
service they deserve and should expect.
When booking your reservations, please notify the reservations agent of
any special needs you have or, if booking online, select your special needs
requirements when you reserve your travel.
This will alert employees of your needs so they can better assist you
when you travel.
Our
Commitment:
We will
provide full and timely information regarding the status of a flight if there
is an extreme delay after you have boarded and after the plane has landed. If safety and security conditions allow, we
will provide for your essential needs such as food, potable water, operable
lavatory facilities, and access to medical treatment. For additional information, see Delta’s Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac
Delays at www.delta.com.
Our
Commitment:
Occasionally we may not be able to provide you with
a seat on a specific flight, even if you hold a ticket and have checked in on
time and comply with other requirements.
This is called an oversale, and occurs when
restrictions apply to operating a particular flight safely (such as aircraft
weight limits); or if more customers have checked in and are prepared to board
than we have available seats.
If your flight is in an oversold situation, you will not be denied a seat
until we first ask for volunteers willing to give up their confirmed seat. If you are involuntarily denied boarding and
have complied with our check-in and other applicable rules, you will be
entitled to compensation and transportation on an alternate flight. Additional information regarding denied boarding
polices is available on Delta’s website (www.delta.com).
Our
Commitment:
We will provide you with timely and complete
information on delta.com or, upon request by calling 800-221-1212. Information on delta.com is available by
following the links below:

Our
Commitment:
We understand that you need timely information about
changes to your travel itinerary. If you
provide us with your contact information, we will attempt to notify you using
information in our reservation about any travel itinerary changes prior to the
date of travel.
Our
Commitment:
Customer feedback is very important to us. When our customers have questions or
complaints, we will acknowledge within 30 days of their receipt, and will send
a substantive response within 60 days of receiving the complaint. For questions or filing a complaint, go to Contact
US at www.delta.com.
Our
Commitment:
In order to mitigate inconveniences due to delay, cancellation, or
irregular operations:
·
We will automatically rebook you on the next
available flight and will make every reasonable effort to reroute your check
baggage on the same flight as you.
·
If you are onboard a Wi-Fi enable aircraft, you can
access www.delta.com free of charge to
check arrival and departure gates, as well as rebooking options, prior to
landing.

use of cell phones is permitted. At that
time, you can call 800-325-1999 for connecting flight status (U.S./Canada
originations only).
·
You can scan your boarding pass at any available
Delta scanner to print your rebooking information and meal and hotel vouchers
(when applicable)
·
We will provide meal allowances and hotel
accommodations at Delta contract facilities, based on availability, if you are

delay, misconnect or cancellation within our control. If accommodations are unavailable, we will
compensate you with a transportation credit commensurate in value with the
contracted hotel rate.
