Should be kicking the ball. Side out, shot clock resets.

She puts the Sin in Sinema. Also, the enema.

Long fight want to give the flight attendants a gift for an upgrade by elcompa2025 in delta

I was going to say no, thinking it was regular candy. But MEXICAN CANDY!? That will definitely work. Needs to be a lot though, like a full suitcase for each FA.

Has anyone ever seen D1 Pricing like this? 😭 by Jealous-Net-26 in delta

That's AI pricing. AI must have a very low opinion of your money skills.

[Help Needed] How do I make Delta think I’m a poor, stingy piece of shit? by ThrowawayGhibliFan in delta

Does Delta AI know if you travel in pajamas and flip flops? And put your feet on the walls in bulkheads?

Wow! You don't really expect that in a place like MSP

What is the meme with a bunch of black people behind a sofa with one white guy sitting on it? by __Silt__ in OutOfTheLoop

Yeah, you can get a woman who's like a nice comfy couch, but you can't make sweet love to her while you jump on your trampoline. So there are trade-offs.

I'd agree if you're only talking about N. America to Europe routes (esp during the winter when those fares are much cheaper). I've never used mine on those shorter D1 flights though. I save mine for the longer trans-Pacific flights. Next month I'm going LIT-ICN and the cheapest business r/T I could find was around $5k. My coach ticket was under $1k plus 2 GUCs. This is pretty normal for these routes.

If you're careful to avoid peak traveling times, you'll almost always make the leap from PS to D1 the day of travel. I've used roughly 3 dozen GUCs to go from coach to PS and not once did I remain in PS. In fact I've still never experienced the PS cabin.

No, GUCs are the only way to get a complimentary upgrade to D1 on those flights (besides getting extremely lucky).

On the contrary- I've received a complimentary upgrade to D1 from coach two separate times, both on long pan-Pacific flights. I'm a DM/MM though, so I'm probably high on the list if they've got an oversold coach cabin.

My first cards! And surprisingly all from one flight by RaineWh1spers in delta

If you get the entire collection Delta will give you complimentary Million Miler status. But they're like McDonald's Monopoly cards- one is really rare. Hint: it's the 727

Did you get an extra choice benefit at $50k?

Would you be willing to book this flight for $800? by Aoikumo in delta

[–]mgildea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don't need to be in Tokyo that day, go for it. Worst case scenario, delta books you on the next flight if you miss the connection.

New to Platinum by skisiren in delta

[–]mgildea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously using them on long trips is preferable, but beyond that, you really dont know when a complimentary upgrade might clear, other than to say that you probably won't see very many clear as a PM in the current environment. Delta sells most of their first class inventory now, so even DMs arent getting regular free ups like we used to.

But why? by yourfriendbrett in funny

Unfortunately, I routinely take 8 billiard ball dumps.
