Delta is currently refreshing their long haul fleet, which is a project that's coming in two forms -- the airline is taking delivery of new A330-900neo and A350-900 aircraft, and they're also refreshing some of their existing planes with new business…
On this blog I often provide airline rankings based on international flight experiences. However, sometimes it's fun to look at some of the best offerings that are closer to home, including the best domestic first class and best domestic business class…
We're now over halfway into 2019 (I'd say "where has time gone?" but I feel like I'm always wondering that), so I wanted to provide an update on how 2019 is looking for me status-wise at the halfway point. At the very beginning of 2019 I wrote a post…
Unlike Ben, for whom international flights are a quotidian experience (although less so lately), I take maybe ten international flights per year. For me, each one is a big deal, and I still get really excited for them. (Heck, a Southwest flight from…
It really is impressive the extent to which Delta thoughtfully invests in their onboard product, while their two biggest competitors do almost nothing. Delta has been leading the way among US carriers when it comes to their international economy experience,…
As I wrote about yesterday, Delta and American Express have six excellent welcome bonuses being pulled today, which are among the best bonuses we've ever seen on Delta Amex cards. I tend to be a bit of a procrastinator, so even though I wrote about these…
Many airlines offer a status match or challenge, which is essentially a way for someone who is loyal to one program to switch their business to a competitor without having to start from scratch. In many cases these offers are “once in a lifetime,” so…
I've written in the past about how redeeming Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles on Delta can be a spectacular value. The idea is that Delta SkyMiles has dynamic award pricing, and in many cases the award rates for travel on Delta can be outrageous, even…
Through July 2, 2019, we’re seeing some best-ever bonuses on the Delta American Express cards. We’re seeing these increased offers on both the business and personal versions of the Gold, Platinum, and Reserve cards. One of the things that makes Delta…
Delta is in the process of refreshing the business class product offered throughout much of their long haul fleet. The airline is installing Delta One Suites on A350-900s, A330-900neos, and 777-200s. While the airline isn't installing a new business…
We are nothing if not aficionados of bathroom amenities here at One Mile at a Time, be they hotel toiletries or premium class airline amenity kits. While at the end of the day whether your carrier's itty-bitty hand moisturizing cream is Ferragamo or…
Wow, this is a significant development. It has just been announced that Delta has acquired a 4.3% equity stake in Hanjin-KAL, the largest shareholder of Korean Air. Delta plans to increase their equity stake in Korean Air to 10% over time, pending regulatory…
In 2017 Delta introduced an all new business class product, making them the first US long haul airline to offer business class seats with doors (surprisingly JetBlue was the first airline in the world to have doors in business class, with their Mint…
While Delta SkyMiles aren't my favorite mileage currency, one of the things I do appreciate about SkyMiles is that they have a higher "floor" value than American and United miles. That's to say that you can potentially "cash out" SkyMiles towards the…
Through July 2, 2019, we're seeing some best-ever bonuses on the Delta American Express cards. We're seeing these increased offers on both the business and personal versions of the Gold, Platinum, and Reserve cards. Here are the details of the increased…
Airlines are constantly increasing the ways you can earn miles through non-flying means, as it's an opportunity for them to generate extra revenue with new partnerships. Delta SkyMiles has just announced their latest partnership that some might find…
Through July 2, 2019, we're seeing some of the best ever welcome bonuses on Delta's co-branded American Express cards. This time around we're seeing increased welcome bonuses on both the personal and business versions of the Gold, Platinum, and Reserve…
One of Delta's primary focuses over the past few years has been building their joint ventures in various regions. With a joint venture, airlines work closely together and align schedules, pricing, etc., allowing them to dominate markets. Delta does a…
I'm going to try to keep this short: -- Delta recently announced that they'll be launching flights between New York and Mumbai as of December 2019 -- Typically the best value for booking Delta business class awards is to use Virgin Atlantic Flying Club…
In February I wrote about how US airlines would be getting 12 additional daytime landing slots at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. This came thanks to talks concluding between the US and Japan, which should be available by the summer of 2020, in time for the…
Inflight technology has come a long way. Over the past few years we've seen inflight wifi go from the exception to the norm. Not only that, but we've seen airlines greatly improving speeds so that wifi on a plane is similar to what you'll find on the…
