Life Is Short, Travel Now
Airlines are looking for creative ways to stay above water but I’m not quite sure if this is the correct way to go about it…
Watching airlines adapt to the current conditions have been fascinating. We’ve seen airlines implement policies and other airlines follow suit shortly thereafter. We’ve also seen airlines go out on a limb and implement bold policies…
The pandemic has presented unique challenges for everyone but black-owned businesses have been hit extremely hard. In fact, over 41% of business closures since the start of the pandemic have been Black-owned, despite…
Recently, I wrote about an incident in which Delta removed a passenger for wearing an “inappropriate” hat. Well, the carrier is making the rounds on social media (again), for all the wrong reasons…
Flight scheduling is not an easy task. Many carriers announce route additions, eliminations, and changes months in advance and often there are delays and even more changes as the date approaches…
If you’ve been accumulating and saving your Delta miles for a partner award redemption, that flight slowly moved even further out of reach overnight. Prepare to work twice as hard or maybe 3 times depending on…
Generally, I stray away from posting articles with “my synopsis” of people and/or travel-related incidents. 99.9% of the time, I was not there and do not know all the details so…
Similar to most social media platforms, Twitter offers you a great opportunity to slide down a never-ending rabbit hole where you’ll often find you’ve neglected real life for several hours. Well…
Every so often an opportunity presents itself in the travel world that is too good to pass up…and this may be it! But you only qualify if….
Perhaps, I should start these posts by saying “If you haven’t checked your Amex Offers lately, you may want to do that ASAP” because American Express has been offering some amazing discounts lately!
October 1, 2020 is approaching, and it is a day that many in the airline industry are dreading…except flight attendants at Delta Air Lines. Earlier this year, the US airlines received billions of dollars from the American…
Well, that didn’t take long. This morning, I wrote about United eliminating their change and stand by fees on domestic tickets and in less than 24 hours Delta and American have made announcements about their change fees. As I was writing this article about Deltas announcement, American Airlines also…
Attention all Delta credit card fans – those that actually spend on their Delta credit cards and those that keep them stored away in the sock drawer but still enjoy earning SkyMiles – American Express has introduced new spending bonuses on their co-branded cards.
If you’re a Delta fan and have one (or all) of their co-branded SkyMiles credit cards, take a look at these limited time offers on your card. At the moment, the cards are offering additional miles for spending on…
Everyone has different goals when it comes to travel. Some are interested in redeeming their points to decrease the costs of domestic economy travel and others are interested in redeeming their points for aspirational (some would say unaffordable) premium international travel. Still others may find themselves…
Well, that didn’t take long. This morning I wrote that American Airlines was seeking to release 30% of its workforce and per an internal memo obtained by 1TP it appears that 30% is the magic number for Delta as well. Typically, Delta is the first airline to make a decision and subsequently American and United follow suit. But…
Every airline in the world is searching for a way to cut costs due to the decrease in travel demand and many airlines have made the critical decision to shrink fleet size and retire planes. A few days ago I wrote that Delta would be retiring all of their 777s by the end of the year. One problem that I pointed out was…
Every airline in the world is searching for a way to cut costs during the decrease in travel demand. Many experts have forecast that demand will not return to 2019 levels for several years so many airlines have made the critical decision to…
Delta has been at the forefront of many customer-friendly policy changes in the airline industry during the current pandemic including free flights to medical volunteers and extending elite status, club memberships, and…
I wanted to share a story from 1TP reader Matt who used an ultra-stealthy way to save money on a transcontinental flight. If you’re not familiar with this travel hack, take it one step at a time…
