The reason I don’t like it is because their award chart is severely overpriced (especially after the big 2013 devaluation), the avenues of getting free… Continue Reading

Part 1: Delta SkyMiles 2015: Agonized, Tantalized and Analyzed Part One — What You Really Need to Know! A few months ago, I wrote two posts about much improved Delta SkyMiles international business class award availability, but they weren’t without a few shortcomings.
