Delta pretty frequently publishes flash sales on award tickets. More often than not these are for domestic and/or economy tickets, but at the moment they have an excellent sale for travel to Europe in business class. With this promotion you can fly roundtrip…
The end of the year is quickly approaching, which means that many of us are looking at our frequent flyer accounts and trying to figure out how to squeeze a few extra miles out of our travels so we can qualify (or requalify) for status. Towards the end…
Of the "big three" US airlines, Delta has by far the fewest unionized employees, as only their pilots are unionized, while none of their other work groups are. Well, the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) is now trying to unionize Delta flight attendants.…
Online shopping portals can be a great way to pick up additional miles & points for purchases you’d make anyway. Just for following a specific link you can earn bonus points in addition to the ones you’d earn for credit card spend. The number of bonus…
Several weeks ago we learned about the huge changes being made to Delta American Express cards as of January 30, 2020, and then at the beginning of October increased welcome bonuses were introduced on Delta co-branded credit cards. If you've been considering…
We've seen US airlines add all kinds of seasonal summer routes to Europe, which has been great for travelers. From Budapest to Prague to Naples to Palermo, we're seeing US airlines thrive at destinations that they previously couldn't make work. What…
Delta has made an interesting announcement today, which you can read into a couple of different ways. Delta is the only US airline to operate the A330-900neo, and the airline has a total of 35 of these planes on order. Currently they have four A330-900neos…
There's no denying that the "big three" US carriers aren't always popular with consumers. In the past I've written posts dedicated to what I think American, Delta, and United actually do well. After all, there's no perfect airline, and they all have…
Delta has just rolled out an interesting new program, called SkyMiles Select. This is a $59 bundle of travel benefits for SkyMiles members that's described as having a $100 value. The benefits are all valid for a year, and kick in within 24 hours of…
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 October 30, 2019, we’re seeing some best-ever bonuses on the Delta American Express cards, including on the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card (review), Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card (review), and Delta Reserve® Credit Card (review). One…
To most this route announcement probably isn't very exciting -- no, Delta isn't announcing a Seattle to Singapore flight, or anything cool like that. Rather Delta has just added a route to the schedule that I find intriguing given that I grew up in Tampa…
Delta and American Express have seven co-branded credit cards. There's a lot to know about these cards -- some of the cards currently have increased welcome bonuses, and we're also seeing big changes to these cards in 2020 -- so I wanted to go through…

Through October 30, 2019, we're seeing some of the best-ever welcome bonuses on co-branded Delta Amex cards (there will be big changes coming to these cards in 2020). In this post I wanted to look at one specific aspect of these bonuses. Through October…
American Express and Delta have had a close relationship for a long time, and as part of that they issue seven co-branded Delta Amex cards. There's a lot to know about these cards -- some of the cards currently have increased welcome bonuses, and we're…
Most airlines offer some sort of lifetime status for especially loyal flyers, though the value of the status and the required tiers vary. Well, my dad just earned Million Miler status in the Delta SkyMiles program, and he has a rather interesting choice…
American Express and Delta have a massive co-brand agreement that's worth billions of dollars per year to Delta. What makes these cards so rewarding is the perks they offer when flying Delta, and also the ability to earn Delta status through spending…
A few days ago Delta announced that they purchased a 20% stake in LATAM, and were planning on forming a joint venture with the airline. With this, LATAM will cut ties with American and also exit oneworld. Suffice to say that this is a huge blow to American…
While there are many things that I'm not a fan of with Delta SkyMiles, I do appreciate that they've built a global network of airlines, and have gotten pretty good about offering reciprocal benefits when traveling with them or their partners. Rather…
Yesterday I wrote about the truly shocking development that Delta would buy a stake in LATAM, and as a result LATAM would cut ties with American and oneworld. This was all happening while American and LATAM were pursuing a joint venture, though they…
