From eclipses to Northern Lights, we have some links this week that can point you to some pretty great experiences.
(Read about Rene’s trip to see the total solar eclipse a couple of years ago).
Need some faith in humanity? We have a great story about Delta passengers helping out someone in a life or death situation.
Quick Recap of This Week on Rene’s Points

René recently returned from having dinner in Brussels. Along the way, he had the opportunity to review several of Delta’s onboard products:
- Delta First Class Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Dinner with Caesar Salad
- Delta First Class Hamburger with Potato Salad and Apple Pie Lunch
- New 2020 Delta One Business Class – Delta Air Lines Noise Canceling Headphones
He also spotted a Delta flight attendant not wearing the new purple uniforms. Perhaps this has something to do with it?
After beating Stanford on Sunday, the Kansas U men’s basketball team experienced some more excitement. Except this was in the air.
