Live in Hawaii and travel frequently to Asia and the east coast. Platinum gets you free entry to the Delta Club on international travel. That means free food, Wi-Fi, nice chairs, showers, and peace and quiet. You also get free upgrades to economy comfort or preferred seats as (aisle, window and front of the plane). You get to board immediately following first/business class to get the overhead bin space. You get two free round trip upgrades to first class each year which is really nice on the 7-10 hour international flights with lay flat seats and great food choices. Free bags and the dedicated platinum reservation and question line is great for zero waiting on the phone when you need something. You get a few luggage tags as well. Recently got a bag mangled on a trip (it was old and falling apart anyway) and Delta replaced my bag with a brand new bag that was even bigger for me. That was cool. free upgrades to first class on domestic flights is nice though it's hard to get one out of Atlanta, but most everywhere else it works out pretty well. You also get free drink and meal coupons to use so you don't have to pay. ONe last thing that is neat is that they give you coupons to give to crew members or counter folks who are very helpful. They get some type of reward or credit. They are always happy to receive one of those.
The Delta app for the iPhone is very good and I use it all the time. Even sitting at the gate I will monitor the seats on the airplane and switch if a better seat comes open as people show, upgrade, or don't show.
Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight!
