Lots of phantom awards showing and many of the prices showing on Seats.aero are pricing out 2x on the FlyingBlue site. Proceed with caution.
Not bad, but the EDI flight is on the 767-300 so it's not suites... you'd probably be better off with Jet Blue unless you passionately hate international narrow bodies.
I just flew on one of these in coach. Walking through the business class cabin I was shocked at how old and dated it looked and was thankful that I didn’t stump up the cash or points for a seat up front.
As much as people might complain about the aging of AA's T-Birds, I would much rather fly Flagship First transcon than Delta One . . . for this exact reason. Delta's ground experience is by far the best. But, not in the air . . . and, frankly, I don't get all the hub-bub.
I didn’t find a lot of potential D1 awards at these low prices, at least out of JFK
What I did, however, was decent pricing on Delta, Air France and KLM even with their dynamic pricing applied in July/August. Cross checked with American and also saw good pricing. Prices are definitely lower year-over-year, regardless of this particular saver ability. I may book
Interesting that there seems to be quite a bit of DL availability from Europe to ATL with Virgin points, but no connections to Mexico/Caribbean/S. America.
Personally, I find the hatred of Delta's 767-300 business class to be overstated in online circles, to the point of absurdity.
Is fancy, cutting edge, new, or notable in any way? No.
Is it still a lie-flat seat with plenty of personal space, and a hundred times better than being crammed into coach? Yes.
Now, now DJT …. Tim Dunn is bound to find something more interesting to say about Delta. Perhaps he would point out how much higher in the World Rankings Delta is compared to the other U.S. airlines.
As far as I'm aware, most of us watching this space are interested in knowing which (in this example) long-haul J experiences are superior to others, for what reasons, etc...not whether J is better than Y. I think we all get that point. Observing "Delta 767-300 J is better than coach" is the logical equivalent of telling people debating the best vintage of Chateau Latour that "the 1984 may not be as good as the others, but it's better than Sutter Home." Accurate, just not in any way helpful.
Yes. The differences between lie-flats can be noticeable, but not so significant that it would outweigh things like schedule, price, reliability. For an overnight flight to Europe differences become really minor, as I tend to be sleeping or at least trying for almost the entire flight.
Ben why didn’t you teach us about credit card churning ? I could’ve been doing that the last 8 yrs.
I just opened and closed like 7 bank accounts and made $1500 in sign up bonuses for like an hour of worth of work.
It isn’t superior, it doesn’t have thee endless shilling for the airline credit cards and hotels, or outdated info on access to lounges. Lol
