Quick win I had to share. Got an email that my return flight next week was changed again. Annoying but whatever… until I noticed my seat assignments were gone. Amex (booking side) told me I was downgraded to coach. Delta told me I was now standby. Great. After bouncing between...

Its a wonderful day to travel…

Booked SEA to ICN to HAN on Delta. Original plan was a 12:45pm nonstop from Seattle to Seoul, which was perfect for me. Just got notified they changed it to a 7:20am departure with a connection through Salt Lake City instead. That’s a huge change. I’ve got some flight anxiety...

Booked a round trip for my granddaughters and used a Delta companion certificate. Out of curiosity, I checked the price against buying a single ticket on the same flights. The companion booking was about $70 more before taxes and fees. On top of that, I got hit with another $20...

We paid cash to upgrade to Delta One on the LAX to SYD leg as a Christmas treat. Not points, not GUCs. Full price. Thought it would be a nice splurge. At the gate in LAX they called our 12 year old daughter up and told us her D1 seat wouldn’t recline. Only option was to move her...

Noticed something weird Delta-operated flights to Seoul are often much cheaper when booked through Korean Air, sometimes even half the price for Delta One. If I book that way and add my SkyMiles number, do I still earn full MQDs? And why would Delta’s own site charge so much...

Writing this from the Sky Club this is now the second time the exact same thing’s happened. I contacted Delta a month in advance to apply a Regional Upgrade Certificate. They confirmed it was applied, nothing else needed. The day before the flight, I couldn’t check in. Support...

Been flying Delta for almost 30 years, but I’m honestly fed up with how status is now all about Amex spend instead of flying. Someone can hit Diamond without ever stepping on a plane. I get that things change, but it feels like a slap in the face to the people actually out there...

There’s nothing worse than opening the Delta app, spotting the perfect upgrade deal, and watching it disappear before you can even tap it. Happens in under a second every time. I swear those things go faster than Taylor Swift tickets.

Delta’s selling 60k miles with a 50% bonus for a total of 90k at $2,100. Most folks called it a hard pass unless you’re just topping off a few thousand or booking a rare partner sweet spot with locked-in dates. For Delta metal it feels rough when LAX–ATL in Comfort+ can run 75k...
