Dear Delta,

Thanks for reminding me of all the times I was in San Antonio last year. I’m here right now. If the state legalizes gaming come next year, I might as well get an apartment down here.

Also, thanks for the 97 upgrades last year. Sorry about that one flight when I drank you out of vodka. I’ve noticed I haven’t gotten many first class upgrades this year yet. I imagine you need to re-coop some of that free booze 😉.

Anywhoo…it’s yet to be determined how many flights I’m going to have this year.

And one day I got a random message on a random social media channel that I randomly check less every year, from time to time.

Dubai was the next destination. She had already been here, so it was only fair that this time I come to her.

Next time, however— Halfway is the mark, And X will be the spot.

Next time I'll write a novel about the places we went to and all the beautiful things we shared.

Delta Air Lines is revising its recent frequent-flyer program changes, acknowledging the concerns expressed by Delta’s faithful customers. In a move first announced in mid-September, Delta is revamping its SkyMiles program due to supposed overcrowding at airport lounges and the growing number of elite-status members. The proposed changes set spending as the primary data point for achieving elite…
