Delta Airlines has suspended special travel perks for members of Congress until the partial government shutdown ends. That means no more priority rebooking, upgrades, airport escorts, or access to Delta’s “Red Coat” concierge—lawmakers will now fly like everyone else, with perks only tied to their personal SkyMiles status. The move comes as the DHS shutdown enters its second month, leaving thousands of TSA agents working without pay and airports across the country dealing with staffing shortages, reduced service, and long security lines. Delta CEO Ed Bastian called the situation unacceptable, criticizing the use of essential workers as political leverage. By removing these exclusive benefits, Delta is putting direct pressure on lawmakers while emphasizing its focus on employees and everyday travelers during the disruption. What do we think of this decision? 👀🛩️ #news #breakingnews #travel #airline #delta
