We’ve covered myriad topics the past 30 days. Here are the post that drew the most eyeballs!
#1 Most-Read: The Amex Offer for Delta Flights
Earlier this month, Delta and American Express teamed up for an Amex Offer: spend $200 on Delta flights, receive $40 back.
Sweet, right?
Well, the deal was good for flights only to a trio of the more than 300+ destinations Delta and Delta Connection serve. Plus, there were nine other tips to know about the Delta Amex Offer.
#2: Size Matters – When It Comes to Carry-Ons
This is one of the most popular Rene’s Points posts ever.
“What is the ‘real” Delta carry-on size check maximum size?” Rene asked — and brought a tape measure aboard to see for himself.
#3: Man Claims to be God, Wants to End Terrorism — and San Juan
A Delta flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to JFK returned to the airport after a passenger made some rather bizarre claims and tried to storm the cockpit. The flight’s captain and some other passengers teamed up to restrain the faux Big Man Upstairs.
#4: Diversion and Tragedy
This post went up just this past Friday morning and took off like wildfire. Delta Air Lines flight 237 from Rome to Detroit diverted to London because of a medical emergency.
A woman who said she was on the plane tweeted that the medical emergency, sadly, didn’t have a happy ending.
#5: What Has Two Wings and Isn’t a Popular Delta Jet?
Wow. Readers had plenty to say about the CRJ-200 when I asked if anyone would pay to ride the aircraft’s final flight.
#6: No More Boeing Orders for Delta
Boeing fulfilled its remaining Delta jet orders on July 9. It’s Airbus or (Air)bust from here on in!
#7: Rideshare Safety Tips
The brutal murders of two college women thrust rideshare safety into the spotlight. Here are a couple of tips to help keep you or a loved one safe.
#8: Record-High Costs – at Amex Corporate
American Express‘ internal costs climbed to unseen highs. Appeasing airline partners (like Delta) is a very expensive practice. (Spoiler alert, right?)
The very next day, Rene confirmed — or un-confirmed, if you will — some news many people feared. Coincidentally, that was our #9 most-read story.
#9: Gift Cards No Longer Safe for Credit with Amex Platinum?!
For years, it was safe to buy four separate $50 Delta e-gift cards — and receive full credit thanks to the Platinum Card® from American Express’ (learn more) travel incidental benefit. We heard rumors people weren’t receiving credit, so René personally checked it out.
#10: Coming Soon to More Delta Destinations: Airbus 220!
One of Delta’s newest planes will serve more cities! Is yours one of them?
Where Is….?
Was there a post you thought would make the July Top 10 but didn’t? Tell us in the Comment section!
