a pile of newspapers on the floor

What a week!

I hope you’re enjoying the long, holiday weekend. It was a big, busy week for us at Rene’s Points!

René waxed nostalgic about his eight years of blogging, William Shatner tweeted us, Delta is planning to “Wow” Main Cabin customers. Oh, and a passenger tried to breach a Delta cockpit and make “San Juan…disappear.”

All in a week’s work, I guess.

In case you missed anything or want to read a post again, here’s the week that was!

    • My Most Amazing Events After Almost 8 Years of Blogging – What a ride!
    • PROCRASTINATORS – Last call for the BIGGEST EVER Delta Amex Card Offers! OFFERS HAVE EXPIRED. Please see post for current Welcome Bonuses!

    • NCL Norwegian Dawn Family Suite 12016 Forward Starboard Side Review 2019
    • Delta Air Lines Celebrates the Spirit of 1776 – on Flight 1776!

Even though it was a short week for many, the travel news world was still in full force.

There were plenty of Delta happenings this week: (more) new routes added, earnings reports, cargo news, and a few other stories:

Delta Air Lines Boeing 757-200, tail number N535US, parked at Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport - LAX - California.

    • Delta expands domestic Raleigh-Durham service
    • Delta Airlines reports record high passenger numbers in June 2019
    • Delta, the only major US airline without a 737 Max, had a very good quarter
    • Delta Air Lines flies record number of passengers in June, boosts profit guidance
    • Gayle King Calls the Delta Flight Attendant Who Found Her Wallet an ‘Angel’
    • Delta customer to Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport employees: ‘You’re a life saver’
    • Reports of dismal May traffic continue into June with early Delta stats

Here are some more pieces that caught my eye and I thought would interest you, too:

    • Eldorado to become Vegas giant with Caesars deal
    • Man Falls from Kenya Airways Aircraft Prior to Landing
    • Heathrow’s ‘forgotten people’ – Those who stand to lose the most if the third runway gets built
    • Behind the Scenes at Nashville International Airport

And, finally, with *ahem* All Apologies to Nirvana, something smells like Spirit…

And if there’s a big travel news story I missed, please add it below with a link to the story.
