Delta won't board you for travel to Saudi Arabia if you don't have a valid Visa for Saudi Arabia in your passport.

This is standard procedure for international travel for all airlines I have flown to all countries I have flow to.

Before issuing a boarding pass, the airline verifies you have a Visa (if required) for the country you are traveling to.

This is a non story pumped up into something it isn't.

Dudden matter. I refuse to fly and put myself through the crap of the airlines and the idiots at the security points. I have not flown since the 1990s and unless some major thing comes along that requires it, but I cannnot fore see anything like that coming down the road, I will never fly again. I got tired of the crap. It was not worth it.

Same, won’t fly. I’ll drive until someone grows brains, or I get my private license.

Delta is one of the few airlines tha flies to Israel. Give them credit for that.

What needs to happen is the U.S. government telling Saudi Arabia that its planes may not land in U.S. airports as long as the Saudis have a policy that discriminates against U.S. citizens.

That is us. We have been from Alabama to Wyoming, to Wisconsin, etc., and we drove every mile. I refuse to fly. To heck with them. I don’t care if all the airlines go out of business. Dudden matter to me. I ain’t flying.

“What needs to happen is the U.S. government telling Saudi Arabia that its planes may not land in U.S. airports as long as the Saudis have a policy that discriminates against U.S. citizens”

Exactly!

Why would I go to Saudi Arabia in the first place. They don’t want a Catholic there any more than they do a Jew. I coudn’t take my Bible. My wife would have to wear a veil,she couldn’t drive there ,and neither of us could speak the language.

I thought Delta couldn’t top the asshattery of charging baggage fees to military personnel.

Until I heard this.

Delta’s black eye was not deserved on the military bags issue. Our troops get reimbursed for the extra charge. They just need to file the extra cost with HQ. The black eye was our govt negotiating a contract with only three bags allowed.

Any black eye Delta gets for whatever reason is deserved on GP alone, AFAIC.

Delta got bad publicity because the Obama administration wants to destroy Delta. This is because Delta’s management successfully fought off eight separate attempts to unionize its workforce (at Delta, the only unionized employees are the pilots and less than 100 “dispatchers”).

The most disgusting were the three apes on Fox & Friends this morning (including the ape-ette in the green dress). They had no idea what they were talking about, but they ran their mouths incessantly to savage Delta.

If you want to support a great American company, go out and fly on Delta. You’ll be glad you did.

Disclaimer: this freeper is a 2,000,000 miler on Delta over 30 years.

Thanks. Worth repeating. Also worth repeating that many other airlines have the same agreement with other airlines, including Saudi Arabian Airlines, as Delta does.

Somebody should that Fox News learns about this, and maybe looks for the smoking gun that Obama is behind it. Obama is not exactly a friend of the Jews.

I would also notify Ron Radosh about this. He got sucked in with this story, and has already updated it twice. A third update, and a headline rewrite, would be nice.

Agreed. I don’t care to visit there. What is too see? Dirt, rocks, big palaces to their king? Who cares, not me.
