We just moved back to Atlanta and that means more flying Delta of course. Does anyone know of routes that regularly have A220 flying them? I would like to finally catch one on my upcoming work trips if it works out

You'll never get the very best Delta has to offer from Atlanta.

The CFP National Championship ATL-JFK-LAX-JFK-ATL (Pics, Very Long)

This trip that came together pretty last-minute. After Georgia finished off a comeback win against Ohio State, we had 4 tickets to the national championship game in Los Angeles. I took a gamble with part of this. From the beginning, most airlines were asking well north of $1000 to get to Los Angeles...

Re: Which Airline/Travel Credit Card Do You Use? -

I'm not a big spender by any stretch, but credit cards are a game for me maximizing points and value. I carry:
