UGA Alumni Assoc. sent out emails yesterday advertising fan travel packages to Los Angeles including flight + hotel for this coming weekend's CFP Championship game. Looks like DL is adding 2 ATL-LAX sections to the Saturday 1/7 schedule, DL 8806 dep. 11:35 EST (A321) and DL 8787 dep. 13:30 EST (B75...
Jump to postI believe that the purple is in line with Delta's current branding direction. Take a look at the Delta Reserve Card photos that came out on the American Express website this morning.
Jump to postI'm so glad there is someone here who can get good pics. I imagine you must have some pretty nice equipment as well. I can vouch for it being very difficult to find good spotting places here in CHS!
Jump to postI am no aerospace engineer, but while we may not see any more large commercial tube and wing aircraft with 4 engines hanging from the wings, there may be other applications where 4 engines makes sense. With any type of design where there engines are contained within the body of the aircraft, it migh...
Jump to postMy 2cents comes from my only Premium Economy experiences being on Air France JFK-CDG-JNB and back on two different occasions. While the seat cushions were a little thin, I found it far more comfortable than coach and worth the price that I paid. I do wish they offered pre-departure bubbly like some ...
Jump to postI don't think you would be the first person to do that, so certainly it is possible. Though the costs and logistics would be very interesting to have more insight into. Please keep us updated as you work through the process if you follow through.
Jump to postHow many airlines fly from LAX to DXB nonstop? The linked article says he flew commercial for the convenience of the nonstop vs having to refuel his private jet.
Jump to postIt WOULD nice if all of the airlines within the same alliance were in the same terminals at JFK. The poster above is correct about how painful it is to connect from Delta to Air France there. Fortunately, the desk agent in the Skyclub pointed me to a fairly straightforward way to make the trip betwe...

Jump to postThe problem with <acronym title="Charleston - AFB / International (CHS / KCHS), USA - South Carolina">CHS</acronym> spotting, at least in my opinion, is that the interesting traffic here is so few and far between.

Jump to postI would think the opposite would be true, I would think that if Delta keeps "enhancing" the SkyMiles program, that Amex will be the one to dump Delta. I am sure Amex is still making a ton off of the relationship at this point, but Delta is working very hard to alienate its frequent flyer base and th...
Jump to postI for one would LOVE to see more airlines take up the 748, especially the passenger version. However, as has been noted in several posts above, you can't really base your fleet decisions on the current oil prices. As I read it, the current oil prices are a result of the major oil producers pumping o...
Jump to postI find the variations in opinions on connecting in Atlanta to be very interesting.

It is simple an...

Jump to postI'm still curious about the details leading to this situation as well? But being ecologically illiterate, another question comes to mind.

Jump to postWhen I stated earlier that I thought this was a good idea and that I liked it, it was before I realized that this was a chilled meal. $20 for an "upgraded" meal that isn't even hot? Are you kidding me? Definitely something I would not be interested in.
Jump to postIn general I despise everything about US. However, for $20 for a decent meal with wine, that might not be a bad deal at all. I certainly don't know any restaurants I can go to and eat that way for that price. I like having options for a reasonable price. I certainly like this idea better than some o...
