Time for a real quick lightning giveaway today. I will use Random.org later today. Enter as often as you want as there are 5 HOOU coupons up for grabs. Comment anything at all about travel just no cut-N-paste answer.
If you don’t don’t know what a HOOU is, they are what Delta calls “Have One On Us” and are good for a beer, cocktail, wine split (ie small wine) or a $2 set of Delta Billboard headsets . They expire 31DEC2016. Have fun! – René
UPDATE: We have our winners 120, 137, 52, 81, 119 – No more comments. Thanks!

I love reading your blog everyday!
Love Woodford!
I enjoy reading your blog posts. I started reading 2 years ago when I started traveling more and have very much enjoyed it!
One day I want to work for Delta
As a math/ computer Science Major, there is no such thing as a random number in practice.
Can’t wait to fly delta to Jackson Hole
My calculus III professor brought a speaker on Friday about random numbers http://home.adelphi.edu/~bstone/seminar/2016spring/poster/Poster-Johanna-Franklin.pdf
I love traveling!
Thank you for all
What is your favorite delta aircraft?
Love your advice… Especially #last2boardclub! It’s worked so well recently I’m hesitant to brag!!!
Would enjoy a HOOU on my next flight
Just started flying delta. Not premium yet, but I’ll learn from this blog.
be great to have!
Thanks for keeping us in the know
I got $100 credit on delta for super delayed flight. Doesn’t seem enough.
Waiting on cheap flights to Dublin
With 42k DL miles where can I go with this for two people?
Southwest is my favorite airline to work with, and Discover credit cards have the best customer service.
My travel is being cut back so this may be my last elite year
René, I know your are about to hit a million miles and with that in mind you need to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s, “Secret Garden” just you hit the milestone.
Awesome song. The lyrics in the bridge are always in my head when I’m on a mileage run. “You’ve gone a million miles. How far you’d get? To that place where you can’t remember. Where you can’t forget.”
Enjoy the journey!
Miles to burn
Upgrades
I just came across your blog today on Twitter. Kept up the great work. I fly Delta a few times a year and the HOOU would come in very handy!
Woodford and Diet Coke
A low level mileage ticket
Sky club tortilla soup
Would love to have one, thanks!
After showing up 3 hours early because TSA isn’t even meeting their recommendation of arriving 2 hours early, I could use a few HOOUs.
MR to a new city for dinner
Thanks for all that you do to help make sense to the Delta nonsense.
bora bora honeymoon on points. how can travel get any better! love your blog.
Ability to go from sand and sun to ski and snow in the same day
Delta has never damaged any of my guitars! Good track record…
A lie flat
Please don’t disqualify me because my brother works for Delta.
Wish I could travel more for pleasure, less for work.
A surprise Porsche ride
Keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you Rene
I travel tomorrow, I should really consider packing….UGH!
Keep up the good work Rene!
You’ll celebrate your million miles about the time I finally make Diamond. Being diamond on a CRJ 200 means so much!! But, I love the Delta 747 and am going to fly it as much as I can this year.
Hope the wine is good!
the “excitement” of wondering “am I gonna get upgraded?”
Hello
It’s me
I would loves these.
Love the blog, love free drinks 🙂
Can’t wait to finally win one of these? 🙂 Seriously – great blog!
Going to my first Centurian lounge on my next trip, pretty excited!
DL 473/172 fav flight 747
Thanks for the opportunity
Really hope Delta eventually stops flying crj200s to my home airport.
Two Delta trips coming up this spring to LAS and ATL. Thanks for running the giveaway.
Hope to get some Woodford
Haven’t been to the skyclub lately. I wonder if anything has changed.
Dropped from silver recently and will be flying as a kettle. Should be interesting.
Coming back to Delta after a hiatus. Been just choosing flights based on convenience and price. Loyalty isn’t worth it anymore.
How can I work for delta. Any tips?
Got the spg offer thanks! Need reccs on how to best utilize their points
Traveling is the best!
Will use 🙂 jfk -fll
Rene, I’m such a huge fan of your blog!
I really want to experience the 787!
Can I have one? Thanx
Traveling for miles would be better than work.
Need those HOOUs for 50 seaters and no C+ upgrades after May 16th…
#DrinkThePainAway
Hope you get your GU for your 747 flight back to the US when hitting MM.
The few times I fly Delta (back to SBN–my hometown airport too!) I could sure use a drink 😀
Great blog, any thought on creating an “app” for Rene’s Points?
Award calendar still has tons of low-level TATL flights for this summer.
Act now before JFK-LHR is 500,000 miles!
Would love to use them for my next transcon!
Australia bound in October!
Tempted to snag that $450 RT to NRT, but I fear I’d spend away the savings on chiropractor visits after 14 hours in Y.
PMs should be able to choose either four RUCs or two GUCs…
Redeeming miles for first and business travel!
About the only thing left of value from DL.
I’m 8/10 with upgrades as a PM so far this year.
Helps to be someone who is flexible and willing to fly on Wednesdays and Saturday mornings.
Only upgrades I’ve missed have been DCA-ATL, and vis versa. I did have to use an RUC for ATL-PDX, but it was totally worth it.
I like free beer!
Decided that I will check-in the old fashioned for my flight tonight.
No mobile boarding passes, all paper from the Sky Priority counter.
I can’t remember the last time I waited until the airport to check-in.
Detroit’s Delta Clubs Rock
Hope to win to travel!
Former GM, now crediting to Alaska! Appreciate the blog
First trip on DL crediting to Alaska coming up. Matched to MVP gold before GM status expired 🙂
Excited for 35K bonus on SPG amex!
Flying Delta in May. Would enjoy these!
I hit 2M miles last fall, got another nice free carry-on luggage with Delta’s thanks. How many million miles must one fly to earn lifetime Diamond status?
Guuuurl…. hook a sistah up w/ a few drink!!!! Okay!!
If the oxygen masks drop and plane higher than 10,000 feet, don’t waste a second getting that mask on your face. You could have as little as 5 seconds before passing out.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
This is what the devaluation of the Delta Loyalty program has become. Diamonds posting comments on an awesome blog in hopes of scoring a free drink to ease the pain of the back of the plane.
I love Delta!!
Flying 20K miles in Delta Y in May 🙁
keep up the great blog and fun give aways!!
Loyal reader for years. Love your site !
I hope you enjoy your Millionth Mile trip to Japan!
Thank you delta
Great blog.
Thanks for your blog, haven’t taken to elite mileage runs yet, but using some of your suggestions to plan some.
Love your site!
Thanks for the info on the NRT mileage runs. Even from Des Moines (DSM) only $650.
Mmm. HOOU, otherwise known as Woodfords vouchers!
My girlfriend comes back today after 2 weeks of work travel. Hooray!
Sad I will need these after May 15th.
I finally broke down for Global Entry. A credit card will pay the fee. Now instead of maybe waiting in an immigration line, I will wait at the baggage carousel.
These will come in handy on dom. segs. if do the NRT/HND MR!!!
Woodford rocks!
Keep up the good work.
I just returned from PEK. The line automated immigration line for US citizens at ORD was jammed with people with Chinese and Japanese passports. They must be here on some kind of work visas.
Nice giveaway
As always, thanks for the great blog.
Thanks for the contest!
Would love to win!
+1 Scott on comment 88. It is amazing. Which is why only one premium fare for me on DL (paid) in past 36 mos vs. 20+ elsewhere. Well honestly no exotic intl premium awards either vs. 5 elsewhere in F.
Love your blog. Would love a HOOU for my CMH-DTW leg in all coach erj!!
DL is dragging me down. A GM is no longer worth it….=(
is Random number a random number?
We love Woodford!
Travel is fun!
The ability to be anywhere within a day
BFUGs
Having HOOUs to burn
I’m learning a lot from your site. Love the Delta B717! Keep up the great work!
I love Delta and I would love to win a HOOU!
Flying DL JFK-SJU in two months as a OW Sapphire… a HOOU coupon would go a long way 🙂
Read your blog everyday
Thanks for the great travel info!
Thanks for your help in burning all my SkyPesos!
love G+Ts 30k in the sky
Really enjoy your blog.
Great blog!
Keep up the great work.
How was your end of the million mile trip?
I used one of your links for my wife’s application on a Delta Amex last year…and she was approved of course!
Would use it on Woodford for sure!
I’m hoping the pendulum of change will swing back in favor of frequent flyers, but I’m afraid that we still have more pain to endure first.
Even with full planes, cramped seating, and fees galore, with a good attitude traveling by air is still a lot of fun.
Wonder how long the incoming CEO lasts before customer backlash against the devaluations hit the mothership…I don’t fly Spirit or Allegiant for a reason, shame Delta wants to chase them so far down the rabbit hole virtually becoming another LCC.
As a frequent delta flyer I love reading your blog and count on it to keep me up to date on on the lates changes and promotions.
Could use one for some free Bombay Sapphire!!!
Thanks for the info
Your favorite card?
Thanks for the HOU
So glad I found your blog.
Your tips have helped so much!
These are great for use on Delta flights. I always go for Woodford!
Flying today. Earning those miles, which I can maximize thanks to your tips.
Layover in ATL. Watching the sunset over terminal C
Appreciate all your tips
I’m going on an epic mileage run in April, almost 29K MQMs, from SJU-ORD-NRT-CAE-SEA-ANC-SJU.
Thanks everyone, we have our winners (no more comments please). I will reach out to the winners on Monday and get your HOOUs in the mail. – Rene
