When my grandpa passed, my parents were here so they had to change their flights to go home, I don’t remember which airline it was but I think maybe delta, they not only changed their tickets for free but also put them in first class. I thought that was pretty awesome |

So I focused on JB last year and earned Mosaic, at the very end of the year. Thought I was going to have to take a mileage flight somewhere to hit the target, but a trans-con work trip got me over. Note the base fare on JB gives 1X points; a slightly higher fare gives 3X points. I made it last year; my son, who flies more but booked the base fares, missed by quite a margin. And yea, flying sucks. I earned much of my FF status back in the '80s when planes were half empty... Now it's unusual to see even a single empty seat.

Very sorry to hear about your aunt.
If you are flying either Delta or Southwest, it is totally worth phoning them and explaning the situation. Both tend to try to do the right thing (when they can). This is 3.3 million butt-in-seat miles worth of experience talking here... Best, Joel |

Kinda what I thought. Pretty unnecessary

There are very few reasons that I will fly these days. Current coach air travel makes riding a Greyhound bus in 1966 seem luxurious.

American treated me really well on my trip to France last summer. I think it was the first positive experience I have had flying in a long time.

We always try to fly Southwest.....although I should qualify that we fly once or twice a year so "always" isn't much.
It still sucks....but I feel like they at least try to make it suck less. So they got that going for them. We did fly United to Italy last year. I was dreading that experience but it greatly exceeded my expectations. So maybe they have upped their service, or maybe that's just international because prior experience with United domestically was appalingly bad. |

1.7M miles on USAirways, now the American Airlines _ _ _ tshow. Switched over to Delta 500K miles ago and no regrets. None of them are perfect and the only perfection that I ask for is a safe flight.
I did laugh at the Delta CEO recently commenting on seating etiquette and asking folks to ask permission before reclining. I wonder when the last time was, that Ed flew coach with the little people. |

When we had status on Delta, we would get upgraded seats often for no extra charge. We always got free baggage.
Cattle class really sucks. I would always pay extra for at least Comfort+ to at least have knee room.

We often got exit row seats and I would get a real kick out of watching the sucker in the row immediately in front try to recline. Even to the point of one putting their foot on the seat in front and pushing against it. Then they called the flight attendant, who informed them that those seats don't recline. I kept from laughing out loud somehow.
