I can’t believe that I never thought about or knew that one could buy a middle seat in order to get more room. It’s been common knowledge that “bigger” people could do this, but I didn’t know everyone could. I always try to book a seat in the middle isle, hoping that no-one will book…
Delta, although the best US based airline in my opinion, is doing even more to up their game recently! Delta announced in June, that they were upgrading the Tumi amenity kits to include LE LABO products.

Delta has recently unveiled a new boarding procedure, called “Branded Boarding”, that in some ways makes things a bit clearer and in others confuses things. All in all I am pleased with it! Delta is MY AIRLINE, everyone knows that! Like SPG (Now Marriott Bonvoy), I am diehard loyal to Delta! With that said, it…
