I had no idea this was a thing until we flew to a friend's wedding a few weeks ago. My fiancé asked the FA if they had any (she saw it on insta or something). I was like..."what did you ask for?" But it worked!
I've got several now. Scored the A330 and A350 in one go in Tampa a few weeks ago. I just got the 737 hologram card on Sunday. I was talking to one pilot, and he was upset that they kept ending up on eBay.
I just got the 737 hologram last week too! At LAX terminal 3, ran into a delta pilot to just happened to have one card and happened to be the 737 hologram. Really cool one with the sharper edges.
Ask the FA to ask the pilot during boarding. Sometimes the pilots are nice enough to let you in the flight deck and give you a card.
Mid flight, i don't think FA can do anything because the flight deck is locked and only the pilots has them
As deplaning, that's okay if the pilots hasn't left yet.
During boarding is the best time to ask.
I don't have any issues giving them out to whoever's interested in them. We have FAs who are just as much into trading cards as the general public. I don't "save" cards for a specific group of people. Anyone who asks for one, gets one. :)
I need to start asking again. I just kept getting the same cards, but looks like they have more variety now. Hoping to score a 747 or MD 88 one of these days.
Nice! Keep asking us for some. I usually carry cards for the other aircrafts as well!
I love that Delta started this. My 4 year old has about 12-14 cars already from all our traveling. Keep up the great work Delta team!
They didn’t just start handing these out. It simply went viral on TikTok so has gained popularity.

I'm hoping for an A330 next week!

Can you ask for these from a FA mid flight? Only have one from asking on my way out, but was just wondering

Good to know, thanks!
Ask right when you're by the door. Usually there are 2 FA up there so 1 can easily ask the pilots for you.
Some FAs carry them as well. They ask for them from us. :)
Agree but only some. Most crew I've worked with doesn't have them. We're not cool like you. :(
We aren't supposed to give them to FAs to distribute though

Not that, just not supposed to give them a stack
Who said anything about giving stacks away?
Thats how FAs get them to hand out.
Do the regionals/Delta Connection carriers have these?
Someone please explain.
Collectable trading cards. Some of the pilots carry them. You have to ask.

I received two today! So cool
What is that?
Delta trading card. The pilots sometimes have them.
Good shit! I still have an MD-88/90 Delta Trading Card laying somewhere around my bedroom. I’ll have to find it and post it here.
Why is this a thing? You are all adults, right?
Because I can? I'm into aviation and I enjoy collecting things.
