The battle between Delta and Alaska Airlines continues. Alaska continues to offer double Alaska Airlines miles on over 25 routes including to pretty much all of Delta’s domestic hubs. The great news is that if you take them up on this offer, you’ll earn Alaska Airlines miles which are good with airlines across programs like…
Earning Delta Elite Status comes a lot faster when you consistently add 10,000 to 15,000 Delta MQMs to your account. The easiest way to elite status and to add MQMs to your account is through the Miles Boost promotion with the Delta Reserve Card or the Delta Platinum SkyMiles Card from American Express once you hit the spending threshold. But…
I’m not sure I ever thought I’d say that. But if this is a Delta upgrade I’d like a downgrade. Earlier in the year Delta announced a big enhancement for their international fleet. They also announced improvements to their domestic fleet’s wifi system. Air-to-ground Technology Improvements Short-haul domestic aircraft in Delta’s fleet with air-to-ground systems…
Airports are designed to accommodate fast moving jets that shuttle the JetSet into and out of major metropolitan areas. Often we frequent flyers talk about the fastest and most convenient ways to get through security, past the traffic and into the comfort of our seats. All the while overlooking some of the more subtle designs that are…
So, this will be a touchy subject. But I came across a Delta dilemma that some of you might have come across if you fly through the legacy Northwest hubs and visit a Sky Club. The dilemma is, do you prefer a self pour bar, like in the case of the old Northwest clubs, or…

It’s no secret that Delta has removed their award charts. But what’s a secret is what they plan to do about their award tiers and redemption rates in the future. And this has a lot of people nervous.

Just this past weekend the amazing priced Gotham Air Helicopter that gets you from Manhattan to JFK Airport in as little as six minutes, became bookable. The introductory $99 fare isn’t so bad, and when you think about the fact that it could save a ton of extra time or even save making your flight…

Gary brings up an important question. How much exactly does a Delta upgrade cost? Last week Delta removed their award charts and now it seems they can do what they’d like with YOUR SkyMiles. I actually very recently redeemed MY Delta SkyMiles for an award upgrade on a paid ticket. It was surprisingly easy. But…
I’ve tried out a lot of snacks in Delta First Class over the years but today I was blown away by a new snack that is 100% now my favorite! I used to like it when Delta gave out those little packs of cheddar cheese Sun Chips. Sadly those were replaced with a terrible replacement,…
Before I get to the post about dinner with DMX on an Airbus A321, I figured I’d share a report from my last Delta 767 First Class flight. On flights to the west coast, I typically look for a widebody aircraft, like Delta’s 777, A330 or internationally configured 767. None of those were an option…
On a recent flight back home to Atlanta, I was offered a choice of Delta First Class dinner options including a sandwich or Salmon. The last time I tried the sandwich was onboard one of Delta’s internationally configured 767 planes in Business Elite. It was good then so I thought “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”.…
I recently shared how United paid my renewal fee for the Global Entry program. Once I confirmed my application was ready, I scheduled a Global Entry interview at Atlanta’s International terminal. The day of the interview, I wasn’t exactly sure where the interview was, I just knew it was in the International Terminal, so that’s where I…
