Happy Spring Break to those who celebrate. And Happy Kids Going Back to School Next Week for those who will be celebrating (like my wife and me).
We have lots to catch up on, you and me. So, let’s jump right into it.
Delta has been making plenty of headlines — some more exciting than others. The airline’s premium push continues with a potential expansion of its Delta One Lounge footprint in Minneapolis. If this comes together, it would be another meaningful step in elevating the ground experience beyond the usual hubs. Here’s what we know so far about the Delta One Lounge MSP plans.
On the flip side: there’s at least one idea floating around that many travelers are hoping doesn’t come back. The CRJ-200 has a reputation for a reason, and even the suggestion of a return (no matter how jazzy) is enough to get people talking. Here’s why Rene says bringing back the CRJ-200 would be a mistake.
Delta also made a quieter change that could actually matter more day-to-day. If you’ve ever relied on their baggage guarantee, the timing rules have shifted — and it’s worth knowing before your next trip. Here’s hat changed with Delta’s bag guarantee.
If you have any Delta trips scheduled, make sure you check to see if they got hit by this weekend’s Schedule Change Saturday.
And in a move that flew a bit under the radar, Delta also ended a controversial perk tied to members of Congress. It’s the kind of thing most travelers never knew existed — but once you do, it raises some interesting questions. What Delta scrapped — and why it matters.
Outside of Delta, a recent near-collision incident involving United is getting attention for all the wrong reasons — and serves as a reminder of how thin the margin for error can be in aviation. What happened — and why it matters.
On the cruise side, there are a couple of things worth keeping on your radar. Rising oil prices could end up impacting cruise costs more than some travelers expect — even on trips that are already booked. Why cruise pricing may not be as “locked in” as you think.
If you’re newer to cruising, we also took a closer look at one of the most common questions: how long your first cruise should actually be. It’s one of those decisions that can make or break the experience. Here’s how to choose the right cruise length.
And if you’re already booked, don’t overlook private island days — they’re often one of the best parts of the trip if you know how to approach them. How to make the most of private island stops.
Elsewhere, we took a closer look at Norwegian Viva’s complimentary dining — because “included” doesn’t always mean “good.” Here’s the honest review.
And with a new quarter underway, it’s worth taking a minute to check your credit card statement offers — there are usually a few easy wins hiding in there. Here are the current offers to look for.
Finally, if you want to catch up on some broader travel headlines — including jet lag tips, promotions, and more — we’ve got you covered. Get caught up here.
