From the strange to the funny to the “things that make you go hummmmm” there sure has been a bunch going on with our dear Delta lately.
One thing is the fact that Delta has again sneaked in a change, this time to the award chart. It would seem Delta does have 1st class seats sorta. If you fly an internationally configured jet to Hawaii or transcon it will cost you more miles. Read about it here:

Did they just devalue miles again? Looking at the chart, the medium award is 20,000 one way in US. Last year, medium round trip was 32,500. Am I missing something?
Hi Michael no the only thing that changed was the increase for “1st class”. All else is the same.
