Delta offers several daily departures from Los Angeles to Honolulu, meaning on my recent trip to the islands, it was time to burn some SkyMiles for a coach award and hope for an upgrade! Delta historically used to fly old 757’s to Honolulu, but recently has switched to their 737-900’s and during the busy season 757-300’s,…
We recently wrote about the new Delta One Business Class North End Grill Menu which is served on flights from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as Delta One Transcontinental Business Class Dinner SFO-JFK but haven’t covered their breakfast options on the transcon flights, so I was excited when a business trip meant I would be…
The pitch of passenger traffic is understated and subdued at the end of Concourse D at Portland International Airport (PDX).  Boarding is about to commence for the approximately 10-hour flight on Delta 178 to Amsterdam.   My ticket is Delta One on the Airbus A330, and I’m ready for a hot towel and a pre-departure beverage.…
How do you feel about criminals being transported on your commercial flight? On a return flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico I was sitting in a restaurant when a law enforcement looking man escorting another man who happened to be wearing ankle cuffs shuffled along next to him. My first thought was, ‘gees I hope…

However on Eastbound transcontinental business class flights, Delta is still serving up their regular menu so below is an overview of the current offerings. If you’re looking to redeem your Delta…
I recently wrote a post about Faking Disabilities So Emotional Service Animals Can Fly With You. Well, on a recent flight, I had the opportunity to experience sitting with an emotional service animal first hand. As we were getting ready to board the flight, I noticed a large Labrador Retriever on a lease waiting to board next…
What do you do when people ask you to switch seats? Normally when we are flying as a family and can’t get our seats together, I feel fine asking someone to switch for an equal seat. You know, an aisle for an aisle; so to speak. But, what would you do if a mom traveling…
For some flying can be routine, even boring. You pack your bag, say your good-byes, leave home for the long quiet ride to the airport, fight the long line at security, cram into the plane train, stop by the lounge to check some emails, then board your flight to snag the last over head space. It’s…
Bacon. Need I say more? Honestly, who doesn’t like bacon? Especially when enjoyed in First Class of a Delta Jet traveling at 450+ MPH above 30,000 feet. As boarding finished the flight attendant came around for breakfast meal options. She uttered one word and I had made up my mind. A choice of Bacon sandwich…
This is one of my favorite First Class Delta meals. It has sausage and shrimp in the jambalaya and is really tasty. It is served with their traditional side salad which I think is just ok. But, as I have mentioned many times, the dessert chocolate cake is amazing. The presentation of this meal is…
I wanted to share these pictures with you that I took of really cool cloud cover as we approached landing during the last snowstorm. Now, I am no photographer and don’t claim to be a good one. I think it is especially hard to take pictures from an airplane window, but I usually try. Landing…
On a recent trip home from Seattle I had the opportunity to select a flight operated by one of Delta’s many jets. And without question, I chose the newest Jet in their fleet on this route, the 737-900. It turns out I was not alone. Based on the Double MQM promotion offer to or from Seattle,…
After my stay at the Andaz Maui at Wailea, it was time to leave Maui and head over to Honolulu. For inter island flights, we decided to try out Hawaiian Airlines, which operates Boeing 717’s for their inter-island service. The planes are equipped with 115 coach seats and 8 first class seats. For this short…
Last week I found myself flying from New York (JFK)- Los Angeles again for the holidays. This time, I was on the 6:15pm departure. I had flown this route about a month ago, which I wrote about here, so this time I had something to compare it to. I was pleased to see that the…
I am currently engaged in a rapid fire First Class round the world trip where I have the opportunity to try out 4 First Class products for the first time. The first two flights on Cathay Pacific First class 777 and 747 were discussed here. I just stepped off the Thai A380 in Frankfurt originating…
