New JFK TWA Hotel Opening day Disaster, Delta -VS- Union Fight Getting Really Nasty, Another Idiot Tries to Open a Delta Exit Door and more travel headlines!

I am back on land again after having had the most amazing transatlantic crossing ever in my life. This time on the Norwegian Star from west to east (the past two years I have gone in the fall east to west). There were days when the North Atlantic was like a still pond – seriously – it was without parallel. The Captain said in all his years at sea he had never seen it that smooth. I will have a full review later on the blog, but for now let’s see what you may have missed this week:

• Even Without an Award Chart Delta Can Still Overcharge Members Redeeming Miles (PS – I would make sure you get your promised refund as we are talking Delta IT here folks!

My travel this year has been such a mix of airlines and I find it strange. I still am always amazed how much better Delta is as an airline and am constantly reminded how bad SkyMiles is in rewarding my loyalty.
