News and notes from around the interweb:
- Delta Diamond until 2030.
Converted over 500K MQMs to make myself Diamond till Jan, 2030 … Probably worth nothing in 2 years 🙁
byu/iBeFlying676 indelta - The tiny (6,700 square foot) new Boston Delta business class lounge is already overcrowded and is no longer open to Air France KLM’s premium passengers. The only partner airline premium passengers now welcome are on Virgin Atlantic.
- ISO 8583: The language of credit cards
- JetBlue is offering up to 10 elite status credits for
the purchase of Catholic indulgencesdonating money that will ostensibly be used for the airline to buy sustainable aviation fuel. For those with a high opportunity cost of time, it can be better than mileage running. - In some sense I suppose Superman was a Globalist.
- Expect the new Air Canada business class, probably with the delivery of the 787-10, to be a reverse herringbone seat with doors, and a ‘business plus’ front row.
Current Air Canada Business Class
6,700 sq? that’s smaller than my house. Just close the lounge, it’s shame to call it a Delta one lounge.
As they say, there’s no “DL” in “team” ( or “Skyteam”).
More vapor ware from Delta with the Delta ONE lounge
The problem is the BOS Delta None lounge is for both outbound and inbound flights, which means it can handle less than four wide body aircraft D1 customers (30+ seats each) at any one time (two outbound and two inbound).
Expect further restrictions (likely limited to full fare J) in the future.
Hi Gary,
Really, insulting Catholics in your audience following?
You’re better than that and a public apology would be appreciated.
@Thomas Forte – I did not insult Catholics, I insulted JetBlue greenwashing.
Hi Gary,
I offer MY apologies publicly.
That phrase, though lined through, was not necessary, but I understand.
Thank you for responding.
Why can’t airlines get J right? There is no doubt what is bad (half of Virgin and all of NZ, including the new design, 767 on DL). What is good? It’s quite obvious. Emulate that.
@Thomas Forte – that is very generous of you
Given the state of tier-status-based upgrades and narrower usefulness of RUCs/GUCs, a person has to wonder what the value of Delta Diamond is. Certainly, a person can select bonus points or credit card cash offset for annual choice benefits. And, there’s the phone line for IRROPS. But, I have to scratch my head.
