Quirky Bonus if Delta Raises the Medallion Bar
According to The Points Guy, Delta Air Lines will increase the amount of Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQD) needed to maintain status for the 2016 year. Disclosure: I am not aware of any announcement from Delta confirming this. Update: Delta’s official announcement has been made on 10.October.2014. See 2015 / 2016 Medallion Qualification Dollars.

New Upgrade Certs for Delta Elites
Platinum and Diamond level elites with Delta Air Lines have long complained that their Systemwide Upgrades (SWU) can only be used on very expensive fares. This has meant purchasing an M fare ticket, much more expensive than the other legacy airlines. However, borrowing a page from the United Airlines playbook, Delta has discontinued their Systemwide…
Airline Elite Status: Still Worth Chasing?
At the end of the year, it is common to hear that someone is XXX miles short of elite status. I’ve been there myself. Some years ago I flew to Minneapolis Mall of America for Christmas shopping just because I needed the miles for status. Up in the morning, shop all day, return in the…

Ahhhh is all I can say about Westin’s Heavenly In-Flight bedding now available in Delta BusinessElite®. I had the chance to try out this bedding and I felt like Goldilocks who had just found her great bed. Unfortunately this test wasn’t aboard a long-haul flight flying at 35,000 feet to Hong Kong or Sydney or…
Airlines: When is Profit Enough?
As passengers, we really do want airlines to be profitable. In my 25+ years of travel, I have survived airline failures, strikes, bankruptcies, mergers, takeovers, consolidations, and wild up/down swings in earnings. Consistent profitability is good, but from the passenger side, the trend is not our friend. You hear this all the time from the…
Way to go, Delta and United. Four Thumbs Up!
Many of us have experienced flight delays and in the past, we might have a flight that would push back from the gate only to sit on the tarmac for many hours waiting for takeoff. Some may recall planes sitting out there for eight hours while passengers were stuck inside, sometimes without food or water.…
Are Delta’s Systemwide Upgrades Still Worth It Or is this Just Wishin’ and Hopin’?
Last week, Delta Air Lines (DL) made some lasting changes to their international use of Systemwide Upgrades (SWU). These are upgrade certificates that their Platinum and Diamond Medallion elites may use for most flights. They are elected as an annual Choice Benefit – four as a Platinum, six more for a Diamond. Generally, each SWU…
