If you’re flying Delta on Valentine’s Day this year, you may be in for a very sweet treat. Passengers flying from SFO and LAX to JFK (and vice versa) will be celebrating the most romantic day of the year (according to Hallmark, at least) with a free three-pack of mini cupcakes from Baked by Melissa.…
How much would you pay to know your pet will safely arrive from point A to point B? Delta hopes the answer is $50. Actually, Delta hopes the answer is $250 because it’ll cost you $200 to check your pet as luggage and another $50 to use the new pet tracking devices that they’re introducing…
While I’m not a coffee drinker myself, I know that people get very worked up about the type of water-braised bean slurry that they’re served and that’s why it seems like good news that Delta has chosen to serve Starbucks coffee on all of its flights from here to eternity. Reuters reports that Delta has…
As the first year of Fly&Dine draws to a close, I’ll be looking back on the stories that turned Fly&Dine from a tiny blog into a growing monolith (and major hub of hyperbole). With only two weeks left in 2014, let’s take a look at another popular story on Fly&Dine that caused quite the uproar…
The stock market can be a dangerous game, but with enough patience and a little know-how, it can also be very rewarding. I won’t be giving any stock tips here, but a little over a year ago I took advantage of a mileage bonus through Fidelity to get a chunk of miles just for opening…
With the giant “LeBron James Back to Cleveland” announcement yesterday, it seems like all anyone can talk about is LeBron. As an NBA fan, I’m one of those people. He may not be the Greatest of All Time — that would be Michael Jordan — but he’s the best basketball player on the planet right…
There was a story in the LA Times on Sunday that Delta has filed for trademark protection on the slogan “The World’s Most Trusted Airline.” Now I don’t fly Delta nearly as much as Rene from Delta Points, but in my experience that slogan is not at all true. In fact, I’d venture to guess…
CLARIFICATION: Reader Matt points out that the 22″ x 14″ x 9″ size has always been standard on the Big Three. The difference now appears to be that previously you could have any bag whose dimensions added up to 45″ and now each dimension has to be under 22″, 14″, and 9″ respectively. On to…
Happy Four Day Week, Americans! Happy Regular-Sized Week, Everyone Else! We’re back with another edition of the Fly&Dine Interview + Giveaway series and this time it’s with Rene of Delta Points. Rene is the go-to guy for all things Delta on Boarding Area and he was also one of the first to welcome me into…
In the April issue of Travel + Leisure, writer Melanie Lieberman goes deep inside the beast that is the airline snack industry for an in-depth expose on– wait. No. That’s not true. There’s no incisive investigative reporting, but there is a pretty fun listicle/slideshow about the best snacks served on-board various airlines. From Delta’s might-as-well-be-called-Deltoff’s…
Welcome to the very first Fly&Dine Giveaway Interview! One lucky reader is going to win a $50 gift card to Starbucks, so you can get a massive java jolt before your next flight. Here’s how it works: I interview a fellow blogger from the BoardingArea Network for valuable tips on eating and drinking while…
