One thing I always find interesting is the dilemma people go through at airport club lounge bars when they get a free drink. Do you tip for the free drink or act like you already paid for the service? On a recent trip to a Delta SkyClub, I was in line behind a guy who…
“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them. Some one should write a song about that.” – Andy Bernard When I think about SkyMiles 2015 for good or bad, the quote above is the first thing that comes to mind. In the past few…

One of the things I always like about the Tampa airport other than the short security lanes, is the view during take off and landing. Baby weekly Flyer had the window seat, Mrs. Weekly flyer was stuck in the middle and I had the aisle in seat C after switching my D seat with the…
Still developing but it appears that a Delta Air Lines 767-300ER bound from Lagos to Atlanta diverted to Dakar due to a possible bomb threat on-board. While Delta claims it was for precautionary reasons, one passenger has a different story. Passenger EditiEffiong tweeted the following: Per this announcement, Delta Air Lines Director Corporate Communications, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Olivia…
The day started with an earlier wake up than usual. Normally I have the timing down to leave the house about 1 hour and 20 minutes prior to departure. With TSA Pre and a drop off it doesn’t make much sense to get to the airport much earlier. But today was a little different. We…
Last week I announced how Delta was going to be adding frozen yogurt bars to Economy Comfort passengers on transcon flights from JFK-LAX/SFO/SEA. It turns out that in addition, they will be placing a small pillow and blanket, eyeshades and ear plugs in the seat for these passengers. Delta Enhances Transcontinental Service in Economy Comfort…

First Class comes with many perks including extra legroom, priority boarding, yummy snacks, full meals and most of all refreshing complimentary beverages. But sometimes on short flights you don’t get to take advantage of all the benefits due to reasons out of your control. Maybe you boarded just as the doors were closing and you…

This year we’ve seen a fair share of “enhancements” from Delta. From same day confirmation changes, to transcontinental upgrades to an entirely new earning and burning program next year. These are the big ones that come to mind and they weren’t hard to miss. But some how I’ve missed this enhancement. Take a look at…
Delta is upping the ante for Economy Comfort passengers on transcontinental flights (JFK to/from LAX, SFO and SEA) and it comes in the form of Luvo Frozen Yogurt Bars.

You can’t always have the seat you want as was the case with this flight. Ended up in the last row of First Class instead of my preferred First Class seat, #firstclassproblems. The flight started off great with a visit to the Sky Club and some fresh coffees along with a bagel. The dishwasher was…
Short flights in First class are different than international flights. The seats don’t recline anywhere near as much as the flat beds you typically find on the international or transcontinental routes. Plus they are short flights. So it places all more importance on selecting the right seat. Favorite First Class Seat On Delta 757 During…

Delta elite status comes with complimentary upgrades to some pretty nice seats. From domestic First Class to International Business Class on domestic routes, its nice when status pays off. But it doesn’t always work out that way. I recently found myself in my second all time worst seat, and it happened to be next to…
