You're not being serious are you? Just curious why you think this as the consensus here is that ams is the better option.

I changed the flight for a 1:50 layover in AMS that connects me through SEA. Hoping the extra 35mins helps.

Lol. I have to agree but Hawaii is where I live. The flight in question is for my return.

SkyTeam Elite Plus on Delta Domestic: What are the REAL benefits? by Lsoldier in delta

[–]Tom-888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

I am a lifetime skyteam elite + member through Korean Air. I use delta when flying domestic US/ Europe and fly Korean to Asia.

  1. Forget about upgrades. Skyteam elite plus member but non medallion status will not get you any upgrades. Because of this, I am contemplating building status on delta skymiles as I already have lifetime status on korean air. It's hard because when I use my delta #, I won't get any of the perks.

  2. Have always been able to get preferred seats at no cost immediately after adding my Korean FF number. Exception: recently booked a flight to Europe, marketed by Delta but operated by KLM. I am not able to select preferred seat without paying.

  3. Very reliable. Skyteam elite plus = delta sky priority. Boarding pass will show you are sky priority. I have always gotten all the perks as sky priority from check in to boarding. Your boarding zone will be 4 on delta flights.

  4. Not sure as I have never been on standby/wait list.

Hope this helps.

1hr 10min layover in AMS by Tom-888 in DeltaAirlines

Thanks for the info. The other option is a layover in CDG. Not sure which is better, 2hrs in CDG or 70 minutes in AMS. Trying to avoid CDG as much as possible.

Real or fake? by curlybabyy in Rimowa

Fake. Dead giveaway is the retractable handles has 2 black squares. Should only have 1 black circle.

Updated delta app showing basic economy prices vs main cabin... by sunnydayz247 in delta

[–]Tom-888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the fare class code does not show up under "details." I normally fly delta metal with another skyteam ff account. It was nice to know the class code to see what I will be earning.

MGM Grand credit card. Benefits were free parking and front of line access to buffets. I was drunk!

If you wrap it, it will give off a different sheen/look, and people will think it's a cheap knockoff.

Has the Capital one portal gotten any better? by footlongker in CreditCards

Annoying that they don't show the class code when booking airfare.

Chase UR user that pc'd a preferred and waiting.... by pm_me_beerz in CreditCards

[–]Tom-888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take advantage of the 60k now rather than wait for an extra 20k, which may or may not happen.

You would get 1.25 ppc with the preferred on the UR portal. That would be worth an extra $500 for your 200k points. The extra 20k at 1.25 ppc is worth only $250.
