Delta Airline Staff
For the seventh straight year, the Delta team has been named the best U.S. airline by The Points Guy, a trusted travel media platform that provides tips and tools for better, smarter travel.
The rankings are based on objective data points from Janury 1 to December 31, 2024, evaluated by The Points Guy’s editorial team in the categories of reliability, experience, cost and reach, and loyalty.
“Each year, our team analyses thousands of data points, comparing four key factors that we feel are most important to consumers’ overall airline experience,” said Brian Kelly, Founder of The Points Guy. “Since 2018, Delta has consistently ranked #1, scoring strongly across the board. Delta’s commitment to operations and customer service puts it on top year after year,” it said.
This recognition adds to Delta’s long list of awards for excellence in customer service, travel experience, operational performance, workplace culture and more. In 2025 alone, Delta has been named The Wall Street Journal’s Top U.S. Airline of 2024; No. 15 on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list; Cirium’s most on-time North American airline in 2024 and Platinum Award winner for Operational Excellence; and one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for sustainability initiatives — to name a few.
“This award is a testament to the talent and dedication of our people,” said E.V.P. and Chief Customer Experience Officer, Erik Snell. “While we continue to innovate and elevate our offerings across the travel experience, it’s the warmth and care our people lead with that truly makes Delta shine.”
