Before the pandemic the American Airlines co-brand portfolio had the largest charge volume, but American, United and Delta were all over $100 billion annually.
In June Delta Air Lines made big news claiming to have broken away from the pack reporting that “approaching 1% of U.S. GDP” in charge volume on their co-brand cards. They appeared to suggest over a quarter trillion dollars being spend on Delta American Express cards.
Back in March Delta Air Lines pilots agreed to a new contract. It set the highest pay rates that pilots in the industry had ever received. And it basically set the terms for pilot deals that would be struck throughout the rest of the year.
Delta SkyMiles Platinum and Diamond members get to choose from a variety of benefits. One Diamond member – with around half a million qualifying miles and over $50,000 in spending this year – was thrilled to be able to gift Gold status to two people.
Some anti-immigration Republicans are now calling for a boycott of Delta Air Lines after a commentator filmed the carrier flying migrants from Phoenix to New York.
Normally the complaint is that undocumented immigrants crossing into border states like Arizona and Texas overburdens those states and so they want them moved to New York (or Martha’s Vineyard)?
Delta Air Lines and El Al announced a partnership in June. That partnership is now live and it means the end of El Al’s relationship with Alaska Airlines.
While American shed highly unprofitable flying, they had been using pretty much all available windows for swing gates, gates that could be used for flying by any carrier. And that blocked others from significant expansion.
With their recent moves opening up the field I speculated that could mean Delta making good on its promise to create a focus city in Austin. They’ve been willing to stick by unprofitable flying like Seattle, buoyed by strong performance of their interior hubs and their lucrative American Express deal, making a bet on long-term performance.
A Delta Air Lines passenger flying from Atlanta to Houston this week found themselves sitting in coach besides not one but two support dogs.
Two separate passengers seated beside each other in the same row, in the window and aisle seats, brought on support animals. These were two dogs that did not know each other prior to the flight.
Back in March I wrote that Delta Air Lines was planning a Sky Club for Charlotte, the major American Airlines hub in the Southeast.
Construction on the club is now evident.
