What a fun visit! Yesterday I had the privilege of a tour of the Gogo corporate offices in Chicago as well as attending an AVgeek meetup. I have tons of really exciting Gogo news to share for us Delta fliers but will save that for another post next week. Today is all about the SWAG!
The Gogo rep was kind enough to give me some really neat Gogo stuff to giveaway here on the blog including what you see above that is a Metal Die Cast Delta 747-400. These are neat collectors items – but wait there is more!
The winner this week not only gets the 1:400 scale Delta jet you see above but also 3 one-time Gogo passes (good till the end of September this year). The runner up will get 3 one-time Gogo passes as a consolation prize!
The rules to play along are simple – just leave a unique comment below on this post. Enter as often as you would like but each comment must be unique. You must use a valid e-mail address and if I can not reach you in 7 days after choosing the winner, via Random.org, I will choose another random winner(s). I will select the winner after 5PM ET on 5MARCH17.
That’s it AVgeeks have fun and have a fun weekend! – René
UPDATE: We have our winners – No more comments! The winners are:

gogo and Delta what a great combo
Yay me!
Great prizes – good luck to all!
Would love to tour GoGo!
Actually have never tried the Gogo. Hope I win!
Gogo gadgets from Gogo inflight!
Would love to have the delta 747
I like the 747! Definitely faster than Gogo.
Gogo
The Delta 747 “Queen Of The Skies” model is a definite yes! Love the 747.
GoGo is great but I wish that it wasn’t constrained when a lot of users are on / like my flight yesterday.
It seems like Gogo has a monopoly on aviation wifi – is there anyone else out there?
Wake me up for you Gogo
Another thought – Gogo shouldn’t turn off below 10k ft. I would like it to remain on for the entirety of the flight so I can get more work done – and seamlessly connect from the Sky Club to my seat.
Wake me up before you Gogo
I’d love to be smart enough to visit gogo. Wonder if I’ll ever give up my “dumb” phone?
I’m love the 747. Most beautiful plane ever.
Please post more photos from the HQ – would like to see more.
Good luck to all!
@justin – lol. Totally agree.
@amy great insight. Really enjoyed it.
@mary totally agree – can you set something up?
@mary actually let’s see if we can go w Rene if he goes back
My kids would play with the 747 every day.
This is a very unique post!
gogogogogogogogo.
Love the 747!!
Would love to have the 747 die cast.
Does it come with gogo boots? Glad I got to fly upstairs on a couple of 747’s in my life.
747 + GOGO, What else is needed?
Nice giveaway! Thanks
Love Gogo
747 Upper Deck… Heaven
GoGo…. keeps you connected to Earth.
Interesting opposite combination.
I like the concept of GoGo, but won’t use because of security concerns and slow connections.
A little gogo never hurts 🙂
My daughter is headed to Jackson Hole week after next. Being a youngster it is quite traumatic to loose connection to cyberspace for several hours. A GOGO would make her giddy I am sure.
Can’t wait for the new, speedier GoGo!
Seat 7A
Upper Deck on the Delta 747 is the best!
I’m really going to miss the DL 747. Flew her from NRT-DTW in 77A last month. What a great ride!
Hope I win! Taking a couple flights on Delta over the next 14 days, would be nice! Good luck to all!
747 – catch while you still can to ICN, that is one sweet ride upstairs
Are they domestic gogo passes, or they are international elligible too?
GoGo from DTW!
At least my daughter will be able to play with the 747 since she won’t get to fly in one.
Gogo v 747. Who wins?
This would be amazing to win
The 747 is my favorite..
Such fun trips you get to take, Rene!
Wonder if that diecast 747 has Basic Economy seats….
That plane would look great in my cube
that would be cool to gaze at on my desk when thinking of my next trip,
I’ll definitely miss those Delta 747s!
I may never get to fly the Queen of the Skies again, so the idea of a collectible is great. Plus, we love Gogo!
GoGo is something I need!
model planes rock
I need a fix: please post more Mileage Runs soon!
Congrats to the first all female African American women pilot team at delta.
My grandson needs the 747 so that when that someday he can show his children what his grandfather flew back in the old days.
Swagerdays are back again !
Welcome home Swaggy Swaggerton!
Flew the first non stop Boston to st Thomas inaugural flight. Love the Gogo service
It’s time to Go. GoGo that is
Love your blog Rene!
Free Go Go passes would be great especially now that the cost of a daily pass has increased on Delta from $16 to $19.
Gogo is great, I can fly out on Friday/Monday and work from the plane and not use vacation days
Texting on a plane makes the trip so much more enjoyable. Gogo passes PLEASE
I am the only one to see the Million Mile Parade on the upper deck 747 for UKNOWWHO.
Did not realize GoGo was based in Chicago. Really wish they would team up with the major airline based there as well…
The metal die-cast 747-400 brings back memories of several long trips to/from Detroit (DTW) and Osaka Kansai (KIX). Yes, those were during the pre-Delta days of Northwest but close enough!
Weren’t the only 747s Delta had were the ones they got from Northwest?
I have never used GoGo, but would try if I won.
GoGo makes flying Delta very productive
I’m interested!
Gogo!
Delta!
I could use a Gogo coupon!
Gogo for all!
747 is my favorite aircraft.
I worked for National Airlines when we had the 747 service from Miami to LHR. My Irish wife and I were in our 20’s (mid-1970’s) sitting up in the “hump” eating caviar, drinking champagne and having a nice roast cut and served to us. Yes, coat and tie required. But wow what an experience for the two of us that never had any money. $40 for First Class pass. Best plane to ever fly!
– It’s sad to see Delta phasing out the last of NW 747’s.
My daughter would love that model!
And I would love the gogo passes!
Yea, GOGO!
Love the blog
Thanks for offering this!
Great prizes! I want one!!
I like my Go Go, but I love my Hash House a Go Go!
Very cool!
Ride a 747 with gogo would be unforgettable!
I’ve never used gogo, but would like to try it .
Thanks for the chance!
Gogo
Thanks for the chance to win!
Free swag and a teaser!
Anxiously await the Gogo news!!
I see the comments from folks who have never used Gogo. Do you sleep or watch videos instead? Gogo is such a part of my flight activity I’d go stir crazy without it.
Love GoGo!
What is GoGo? Have been 747 upper deck on Delta, Quantas and Air New Zealand, but have never heard of GoGo.
The GoGo pass would be great for my upcoming trip
more gogo please
With my power wheelchair and Delta I can go go anywhere!
I’d sure love to win. Long time reader.
Awesome
When my oldest son was younger we would sit in a recliner together and pretend we were in business class on a 747 flying together somewhere. So sorry to see them fade out of service!
Oooh! Pick me! Please, pick me! Wait, you use a random number generator…randomize me! Randomize me!
If I win, you can reach me at 747-GOGO
Everyone needs a 747, though I know a coworker would kill me for winning it
Bring on the swag!!!!!
The 747 is prize of choice for many…add me to that list 🙂
Bring on the swag!!!!!!!
Giggity giggity Gogo!
Gogo Giggity giggity
GOGO GONE to me
Giggity giggity Gogo! Giggity giggity Gogo!
We all love swag!
THanks for the swag!
U kno ur a delta junkie when your favorite routing from SAN to SJC is via SLC
LUv my Tiffany choice benefits
3x platinum medallion. $600 to tiffanys. I see a new watch in my future
Thanks Renè for the great blog
nice!
Is gogo generally included free on Z class international flights?
I’ll find out in 8 hours!
As inspector Gadget might say, “Gogo inflight internet!”
The first upgrade I ever got in life was on Delta B747 NRT/TPE 4 years ago. I’ll miss the Queen of the Sky in Delta livery once they all retire. I’d love to get that model plane.
Would love to win the 747 for my 1 yr old daughter who is also a frequent flyer! Wouldn’t mind the gogo passes either!
747s are gogo-ing away soon
Nice to see “Swag Saturday” return! René is generous!
Good luck all,
Binghamton, NY airport (BGM) had DL, AA, UA flying out of it. Recently AA and UA left, leaving only DL (and they STILL only fly CRJ200’s, usually 100% full). And to make things crazier, due to runway work there will be NO flights at all in May.
GOGO!
Thanks for the Swag, and all the info you post!
The die cast 747 is cool. Too bad every airline is retiring them.
Gogo yes yes please please??
Sorry to see the jumbos going away.
So, if I buy a ticket with my Delta Platinum, does the spend show up when that statement posts, or does it wait to show up until you fly?
I’m hoping to hit the 25k target this year, but 5-6k of that will be travel & I don’t want to overshoot it.
I would love that 747!
Hoping for a win!!
Lets gogo!!!
Thanks!
Hope to see the news on GoGo soon!
Pick me please!!!
Hoping for the best
Could really use that gogo
Does Gogo have global coverage now? I’ve read news from DL about upgrades on their transoceanic routes but not sure how well that works. Will try it on return from CPH in May.
I think that @mrsrenespoints is the real brains and should be a Saint!
I wish I could find excellent mileage runs like the ones I see on renespoints.com
Oh please let me experience a gogo flight that is really high speed!
can we get a 747 mileage run before they go?
DL 747 and GoGo are both smoking fast!
I would love some Swag!
Glad you have access to so much of the travel industry. Thanks for sharing!
I’ll take some Swag!
Gimme dat DL swag!
Me wants Gogo Passes.
This Rookie need to GoGo
So how about letting me win? 😉
Delta is great & GoGo pretty good.
Delta and Gogo are a win win team.
Gogo customer service is always helpful when I have trouble connecting in the air. They’ve fixed things every time!
Can’t leave without you…Gogo!
Lately, each time I try to book a flight on Delta website when it comes time to finalize I get the “looks like there is a high demand for these flights, the price has increased.” So I log off, go to another browser, and book at the lower price. I mean EVERY time! This is very deceptive marketing and not a nice practice.
@ RossKoh The Amex spend shows up as soon as it posts. The MQDs don’t show up until you fly it.
The 747 is cool. And GoGo always is great to have.
I Love when Gogo is available!
After reading the comments so far, their are quite a number of us that would like to check off the 747 flight off the bucket list.
Oops, there, not their… 🙁
747 on my desk is GoGo good.
GoGo is not a NoNo.
Gogo!
Looking forward to hearing the news and improvements…not a regular user, but that’s more a function of my using the flight as “quiet time” to get work done 🙂 without distractions like work emails and such 🙁 rather than GII’s availability.
Delta!!
Seat 1A!
Thank you
I am a big Di cast collector, this would be a great addition to my collection
Go swag!
Love Gogo and Delta
Very nice giveaway.
Thanks for the great blog!
Thanks for the chance to win
Love GoGo & Delta 747!
I’d love to visit gogo in Chicago. Lots of stuff to work on for the future.
Delta a GoGo.
I just flew on the upper deck of one of Delta’s 747’s – probably my last chance! Would be nice to commemorate that flight with the mini 747!
Well miss the Queen of the skies when they’re gone…
Cool Prizes! Good luck everyone!
It
is
surprising
that
I
can
enter
this
many
times
Love flying on the Boeing 747-400!
I have never used Gogo on a flight and I am Diamond!! It would be a great way to try it out. Thanks!!! Do these work on international flights also?? Going to Barcelona on Wednesday. ✈️
FCM
Is
EVIL
Also, last year of 747s :'(
And MD88s are gone by 2020. :'(
Even though FCM is evil, I would still totally jump on a $29 upgrade offer.
I agree Steve, multiple entries is an odd thing to allow. A lot more work for poor René, easily abused, leads to poor quality comments and puts busy people at a bit of a disadvantage.
On the other hand, since it is allowed, here’s another one! (I rest my case :-)) Promise, if I type something else it will have al least some substance.
Very nice!
Die cast 747 or Gogo passes? Tough choice. Either or both are good prizes!
Hi again! Always watching for a MR out of MSP. Thanks for all you do!
Sweet. Hopefully will get to fly the 747 before it dies
My grandson would love the 747! I think he could be a pilot some day!
Just wondering…why are you letting us enter multiple times??
First 747 was a BOAC flight from LHR to JFK in ’73. You always remember the first time……
Gogo power rangers
Gogo and I have a love hate relationship
I love that it’s available
I hate that people realize I’m available
So now I use Gogo on the redeye
Ok. I’m done.
Love Togo for watching movies on my Ipad
That should of been love gogo to watch movies on ipad
Once more for the gipper
I want to enter as many times as steve
Just once more
Didn’t realize how much I missed swag Saturday. Welcome back, swag!
I need some good luck!
Go delta!
Im going to miss the 747
Give me!!!
Love it!
Could use some gogo
Hope I win!
This would be nice
Come on!!
Love this blog!
Keep it up Rene!
Thanks for everything!
You’re the best!
Keep it up!
Delta and gogo are not always friends!
I’ll miss the 747 upper deck as more at more airlines retire this Queen.
Flying this week from ICN to DTW on a 747 with Delta. It will probably be my last chance to fly in one before they retire the 747.
The gogo is not free with Z class international, but it is offered.
Odd, I called the medallion line to check if wifi was available while at my prior leg, they said it was not offered across the ocean.
C’mon Delta, help educate your staff. She put me on hold to check and everything…
And another thing:
Gogo is cool and all, but everyone should keep in mind TMobile offers freebies as well.
Worth a switch if you travel a lot!
We loved flying home from Seoul on a Delta 747.
so happy these are back. Thanks!!!!
thanks Rene gogo gogo
Good morning! Just checking my flights for this month and wishing for wifi Have a great day
Hope to with the Swag!
A great day to get up, enjoy a flight on the Queen of the sky, and place another entry for the swag giveaway. Well, doing two out of three isn’t bad for an early Sunday morning…
Love the 747! A Gogo pass would be welcome as well.
Loved flying upstairs. It was like a private cabin with personal service.
Give me a G give me an O
Do it again G and O
GO GO
GOGO!
The queen is a beaut. Only ever got to fly a DL 747 once. In case folks don’t know, if you are a T-Mobile customer you get a free hour of gogo On every flight.
Gogo gone yet?
Fly me to the moon and let me Gogo all the way
Keep it up Renee – hope to see you in MSP someday soon
Love the die cast 747! Sad to see them go.
Hi. Do you think there will ever be a frequent traveler university type gathering in MSP?? Timing never works for me to do the Chicago area one or the one in Seattle. Thanks!
@Diane – There is one for June but I can not make that one: https://ftuniversity.com/events/ftu-advanced-minneapolis-mn/
Ok, so of course I’d love this–I pay for a lot of my travel and all my Gogo myself–on my Delta flights
Another try for the swag. Thanks Rene!
Moving back to IND so maybe I’ll be on a flight from SBN with Rene someday. I’ve used that airport for better mileage deals before.
Cool 747 diecast and the Gogo credits are awesome!
Those die-cast models are cool. My son now has a die-cast model of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 (Boeing 707) which had been my father’s.
GoGo has definitely been hit and miss lately. Sometimes it works great — much better than usual. Other times it’s barely useable, even on the same route. I need to fly more to with free passes to really test it out!
Totally wish I could have tagged along last week on your Boeing and Museum of Flight tours!
Wifi is excellent when it works. Makes flying a breeze
Pick me…pick me. Always love reading about your adventures..
The free Gogo passes would be very helpful for my consulting trips where airplane Internet is the only non-reimbursed expense (I’d gladly trade some of the others.)
How many times in recent months has it seemed like Delta is telling us, “The die is cast?”
Thanks for your giveaways, RenesPoints!
If our comments were in a race for the prizes, would it be appropriate to yell “Gogo! Gogo!” ???
Maybe free GoGo should be part of the Comfort amenities!
I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places…. and talking thx to GoGo.
One more for the road before I Gogo.
Nice prizes!
Delta! Delta!
Gogo is great
Thanks for the swag, Renespoints!
Togo needs to collaborate with ATT or Verizon…
I hope I win!
This swag is great!!
I could really use those gogo!
GOGOGOGO!!!!
That 747 cast is what i really want!!
That 747 is awesome!
Im going to miss the queens!
I can’t believe they are retiring them this year 🙁
Im hoping for a W!
We love you Rene!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for all the great info!
Love the blog!
Could really use some in flight internet! Headed to europe next week!
Why does Delta send emails congratulating me on my upgrade when it’s the same seat I already had?? Thanks for the swag this week!!
Thanks for all you do!
Could really use these!
Keep up the good work!
Love the blog Rene!
Would love to win!
Im going to miss the 747!
Still havent rode on the upper deck!
Love reading your blog for inside tips on flying Delta!
Would love to get Gogo some free Gogo!
My upgrade cleared for my Sunday flight, only wish I had free Gogo to go with it. I guess I can use Tmobile for the time being 🙂
Always love hearing your stories at FTU
I’d love a 747 die-cast model.
Any plans on flying the last flight, tentatively scheduled for Dec 31?
ICN-DTW?
I’d love a toy plane!
Please don’t be make me pay for wifi next week. Please
Can’t argue with free Gogo, would prefer the 747. Maybe one ought make an MR out of it before they retire the fleet…CPM won’t be in 🙂 range, but still…just to say I got to experience it once, if the future grandchildren even ask about it, or phonographs, or dial dialphones, or books… Ain’t life’s memories grand? LOL
…then again, mileage runs may be a thing of the past after they get teleportation over internet protocol (TOIP) perfected. We’ll have to explain the MR concept to future generations.
Now there’s an idea. Have Gogo on your flight, log on and ToIP yourself to your destination because IROPs rescheduled you for a flight later tomorrow.
Following that ToIP thought, despite net neutrality, Delta would try to find a way to monetize the perceived level of transport comfort. 🙁
And as they “enhanced” their SkyToIP program, UA and AA would do the same a short time later.
I know the window is closed, but nothing wrong with sharing a little creative thought for fun, might lead to DL researching the enhancement possibility… 🙂
Actually, mark, I’m not 100% sure the window is closed. And what happens when they lose your luggage on ToIP?
Thanks to the forward thinking on Northwest Airlines to acquire the 747’s that greatly benefitted Delta right after the merger especially on their lucrative Asia routes.
Hats off to Northwest for acquiring the 747’s that helped lead the success of Delta to Asia after the merger!
Nice contest and you clearly have a great following.
Great blog Rene!
