In October, I traveled to New Orleans (out of Munich) for a few days to attend the wedding of a family member.
I had an unused return ticket stored, and flew BusinessElite from Munich to Atlanta. I then connected on an award ticket (I know, right?) from Atlanta to MSY. Shocking enough, this was my first experience with an award ticket after the upgrade program started, and at five days out from each respective segment, I was upgraded. This trips were on a Thursday ...
Boredom is officially here for me, which sadly benefits you by way of another post.

Delta was also nice enough to let us know that the evil-union-mechanics are causing problems. Thanks for stretching it out, guys. We really want to keep ...
So I think I'm the first in our crowd to fly the 764D, which is the DL 767-400ER with flat bed seats. I'm in London currently (which explains why I haven't been posting - sorry#, and I took DL 10 to get here. So, my humble opinion:
