Re: Special meals

My girlfriend eats Vegan and always requests a Vegan-Non Dairy meal. So far she has been pretty pleased with the meals she got on KL, DL, AF and WY. She reviews them on her travel blog, it's in Dutch but you can see the pictures :) DL: http://www.girlonthemove.nl/vegan-maaltijd-op-een-delta-vlucht/ ...

Re: SkyTeam lounge access policy - DL

Complimentary upgrades on DL are only for DL FF's. Other SkyTeam gold do not get them.

That is nut true, as an AF/KL Gold I have been upgraded several times on DL domestic flights.

Re: Iberia Drops BIQ, Increases EAS (IB/VY)

That's a shame, I was actually planning to fly that route next summer.
