Delta to Paris!
I’d like to see London and the rest of Europe
I have two trips planned this year and both with Delta – San Juan in May with a girlfriend and Bahamas / Grand Cayman with my family in June! Being on the west coast, we have been to Hawaii many times but never been to Caribbean. I am so excited for these two first-time trips, my kids are even more so as they will finally visit Atlantis!

I am excited to fly with Delta from MAD-PDX (layover in ATL) because I’ve been studying abroad in Spain, and I cannot WAIT to step onto a Delta plane after flying low-cost carriers around Europe.
We are also flying Delta as a family from PDX-PVG and TPE-PDX, and then I have a few domestic trips lined up again this year. Delta gets a lot of grief for their loyalty program, though at the end of the day we feel (being PDX and SEA-based) that they offer the best product/value and a reliable operation. Might be the last time we transit in NRT, which we’ve done for so many years!
I just dropped to general SM member this year after Delta implemented the MQD requirements, though continue to fly with them because they know how to run their airline well.
Thank you for doing this!
