My travels took me to Bermuda last weekend, thanks to a very low Delta Air Lines fare from Newark. Despite holding Delta Platinum status for a year (I have no status anymore with Delta), it was also my first time flying through Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport—back then I connected in Salt Lake City or Minneapolis only. Even though I was in economy class, the weekend made me realize that a lot is missing on United/Continental.
First, I had all ...
I write this inflight on a Delta redeye from SNA to ATL, as today's flights turned into complete chaos when a surprise snow storm hit Seattle Sunday afternoon while Daniel and I were taking our mileage run. We pulled out from the gate and then as we were about to taxi to the runway, they closed the runway because the conditions had deteriorated to the point where the runways were dangerous, and needed to be plowed. So we returned to the gate, the delay grew until the point where ...

I'm writing this post on my MacBook Air from the tarmac in Oakland. We're plopped in one of Delta's finest CRJ200 regional jets. That's sarcasm, if you couldn't tell.
If your first reaction is, "Delta flies from Oakland to Los Angeles??" you're in good company. I had no idea until I booked it. We're flying down to LA for the long weekend, and my go-to flights are out of SFO, but the Delta OAK-LAX flight was only $60... plus, we're going to be ...
I had to see it to believe it. I landed at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson last week and as we approached the gate a Porsche SUV was at the adjacent aircraft. A Delta agent quickly escorted a man in a business suit down the jet bridge stairway into the Porsche. It happened so quickly the only thing I could confirm was that the man wasn’t Richard Anderson (Delta CEO). I figured this was the only reasonable explanation for a luxury car whisking away someone ...
