delta swag grab

I am still working on a bunch of posts including my photos from the Delta 757 charity Jet drag. I had the fun of being on two teams. One of them was the media / press team and the other was a bunch of readers who snagged the SkyMiles Experiences spots on that team.

Anyway, as part of the prize for each I was given some nice Delta swag as you see above. Also, thanks to reader Graydon, I got some extra Delta flight Museum passes.

So, and this will be a quick lightning giveaway as I will pick the winners TOMORROW NIGHT, SUNDAY so be sure to enter quick.

Plus, I am giving away TWO prices packages so EACH of the winners gets:

2 – Passes to the Delta flight museum in Atlanta
1 – Delta T-shirt
1 – Delta SkyMiles bear
1 – Delta TUMI kit
1 – Delta ball cap
1 – Delta backpack
1 – Delta headphones

Any maybe some other swag I may just toss in for fun. So there you go, a bunch of unique stuff for you to enjoy this weekend if you are one of the TWO winners.

I am going to make this one simple. Make any comment you want and comment as OFTEN as you wish but each comment must be something different. Feel free to comment on SkyMiles, ask a question, mention what travel card you are going for next, say something nice about the blog (love those) or whatever! But comment quick as the cut off will be around 7PM ET tomorrow the 17th! – René

    But on a serious note, I’m a little torn now. I actually like Delta and I think they offer a better product than the other two but yes, their ffp sucks. So when I fly DL, i have been crediting all my flights to AS. But now that they cut their earnings on DL flights, I’m a little torn on who to credit my miles to or even if flying DL still makes sense for me.

  24. James says:

    Ooohhh, I just thought of a great blog post for you. Why don’t you come up with an analysis of the other DL partners and figure out which FFP is best for crediting DL flights to? That’s an article I would read.

    Sad to hear how limited space is on KLM for use of DL miles. Always saved miles to go Business on KLM Eastbound. Had to go out of SBN last time to find routing with seats available as the larger airports showed no space, but sounds like it may be nearly impossible now and I will have to take what I can get to use my miles at all.

    Currently on the fence on the Reserve card. I can put $60,000 on it (to maximize), but I just have a feeling that DL is going to trash their system (even more) and it will go from worth something to nothing in a blink.

    I had been on two JFK/LAX flights (757 and 767) where there was one huge but lean dog and a small dog riding with their owners. There’s no label at all to indicate those were service dogs or for emotional support. I didn’t know that DL would allow transportation of dogs in the main cabin (even a large one that kept its legs on the aisle and it’s really hard for the FAs and other passengers to use the aisle). What if some people have allergies to dog hair? Airlines have been accommodating to people with peanut allergies by not serving peanuts. But what about dogs and cats? Is it legal or against policy to transport dogs and cats in the main cabin? Thanks!

    Aren’t you supposed to be able to use your Amex companion cert even if the primary ticket you buy is for someone else? I spent an hour at least trying to find a good flight schedule for my parents then finally settled on an itinerary. When I clicked the button to purchase, it gave me a message saying I need to call delta. I’ve been frustrated more than enough with delta the past two years, so I ended up buying 2 tix on Southwest instead. Non-stop and better schedule, too.

    I wasn’t totally convienced about the credit card ‘retention promotions’ Rene mentioned a few days ago. But sure enough, I received $100 statement credit just for calling and asking Amex if there was any program or promotion for keeping me a customer. Didn’t threaten to cut up my card, but just said, ‘there is a lot of competition out there!’ The easiest $100 I’ve made in a while.

    @Dale, delta employees are happy Anderson made $17 million last year because they have incentive plans that are generally aligned with his. Of course most if them are lucky to get a few thousand dollars in payouts that equal a snall percentage of their base pay and Anderson gets s bonus that is about 20 times his base pay. Like delta frequent flyers they are getting ripped off, but the little benefits that are trickled down keeps most of them in line.

    I learned this about using Global upgrade certificates. Some international flights have immediate availiability while some are wait listed. If you call Delta you can see if the flight you want to book has immediately confirmed or wait listed seats. Book the flight with immediate availability and then immediately call the DM or PM desk to request the upgrade. The key: check on availability first!

    How many Delat Point posts can you write while watching Jeopardy?

    I booked a rtw trip late last year and flew it in January. 16 legs in business class on 5 different airlines for 280,000 miles. It was more than worth it. If course that’s another delta takeaway now.

    GUCs are the best thing delta’s done in the last few years. They don’t make up for all the takeaways.

    Found that wearing a coat or blazer when traveling seems to give gate agents just a little more pause (and respect?) when making a special request. Convinced it helped with a comp 1st class upgrade AMS to ALT last year.

    Bulkhead seats are the worse. No seat pocket in front of you to store you stuff. In-seat meal trays makes the seats narrower. I’m not obese but enjoy the room.

    We in the south have heard the joke, ‘you can’t get to heaven without going through ALT.’ Not sure I agree with the theology, but how many more Delta flights can be crammed into that airport!

    I use not to agree to answer the one question survey after a call to the DM desk. I do now. It is one chance to let feedback on the service of the agent. Most are very very good and it’s nice to press that #5 and let Delta know.

    I long for the day with Delta will offer a direct flight to Nairobi Kenya, as they do to J’burg South Africa. The new NBO terminal separates arriving passengers from departing passengers – one of the sticking points in the past because everyone was thrown together. KLM is probably fighting tooth and nail against it.
