Considering upgrade from AmEx Delta SkyMiles gold card to either the platinum or the reserve card. Any insight into the better between the two?

What's your preferred DC to LA flight route?

I have to go to LA once a month for a few days at a time and I'm in DC. I usually try to fly Delta but they don't really have any routes. American? Spirit?

Does anyone do this route often? What's your preferred?

Is there a reason that the American Airlines lounge at LaGuardia is a little dirty?

Ethiopian airlines has the most gorgeous flight attendants😍

What happened to the delta drink vouchers? Why did I go from an infinite supply to zero this year? Flying more than ever.

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

What is the best starting point for learning about points from the beginning? Specifically, Delta air travel is my #1 interest.

Will United Airlines match the Price?
I booked a multi city trip 1week ago and now the price has dropped by $150 per person with better connections available.

Thanks!

I just made Platinum Medallion on Delta (for 2023). But my 2022 status is still Gold, do the platinum benefits not kick in until next year?

So I have an offer for a position with Delta Airlines, but now different recruiters are calling me for other higher positions that I applied for within Delta. I’m flying to an interview in FL but waiting on a counter offer for a station in TX with 3 other scheduled virtual interviews this week and next week….should I just stop and not to commit to the other interviews and wait for the counter offer for the station in TX or should I continue to do interviews for different role within Delta Air?

Haven't travelled for work since Covid and ill be loosing my Air Canada status by end of this year. I am currently 75K. Any hacks/tips on how to extend status?
Can't travel weekly and accumulate flight legs anymore :(

Delta/Lufthansa lost my checked bags in an international trip. Literally packed everything there except my laptop. Can I expense clothes, toiletries and charge it to the airlines?

Southwest sent me 5 drink coupons I probably won’t use. Anybody want them?

I went to look up my flight for an international trip and my second flight is canceled. Wasn’t emailed or the app didn’t say anything. Does delta do this often?

Folks who have traveled recently, how’s the scene with flights canceling and major delays recently with Delta? Traveling with little kids to west coast from east in two weeks and looking to get some advice on how to avoid or prep for (if one can) travel mess these days. TIA

I tryed my best in an interview for a lateral move position at American Airlines . I passed the first round and the second round was a panel who do not even belong to this team. I thought I gave my best and answered according to American Airlines work culture and it has been a week and haven't heard from them yet. I tried following up with the hiring manager and got no response. What more can I do? OR should i think this is gone and try for another one?

Anyone have extra drink vouchers? Traveling now for my honeymoon on Delta and would be greatly appreciated!

Decided to take a trip last minute, and try to use points(via chase/southwest) for the hotel. I apparently can only use them a week in advance, is there a way around this?

Hi, anyone have any idea about delta airlines senior developer first round assessment. What type of questions will be there?

I lost my status with American Airlines due to the non-travel during COVID. I have 12 (500-upgrade mile) that I was just told I can’t use any longer because I don’t have my status 😭😭😭 they will stay in my account unusable until I regain my status. Dreading this 5 hr flight 😭😭

Is Seychelles worth it? Currently hold the business class on Qatar airways from North America to Mahe in the later Oct this year, plan to burn my Hilton points by staying at Hiltons at Silhouette island and Mahe island, no plan to visit La digue nor Praslin. Is this still worth it? Seems visiting that two islands is a must when visiting Seychelles.

Does anyone know the salary range for a Supervisor role with United Airlines?

So I was just offered employment in Southwest Airlines and have accepted it. I am currently unemployed but will like to make the announcement on my LinkedIn page, when is it a good time to make this post? Should I wait or just post it now?

Shot in the dark, but would anyone have a spare delta / KLM / Air France lounge visitor pass that they’d be willing to share with this lowly associate?

l was flying home for the weekend to see my mom for her birthday, but Delta airlines was an absolute cluster F*** today, my flight was cancelled after many delays, they couldn't rebook me, blowing up my long weekend with her, and I have to wait 4 hours at JFK for my bag to be brought to baggage claim. Can you please show me your pets and a funny thing about them to keep me busy?🥺 👉👈

Fuck American Airlines!

British airways/ Iberia just lost my luggage. This is after downgrading me from business because of overbooking (ok, not the end of the world), making us wait for 2 hours for luggage (getting pretty pissed of at this point) and then telling me that mine wasn’t scanned and it’s not coming.When I asked where it was, their answers were ‘can’t see it on the system, we’ll call you tomorrow if we have any news’. I am boiling with rage. How fucking incompetent is the aviation industry at the moment?
