Delta is recently offering basic economy fares to Israel & is being marketed without luggage
question is if the check in agent rep will actually collect extra $$ for luggage?
Any one has data points?

339 is significantly more private. Only benefit to ex-latam is significantly better foot space
I should rephrase....depends on what you value more. Privacy or Comfort. 339 and regular 350 are significantly more private while the LATAM 350 is significantly more comfortable. Wider seats and much wider foot space

2 that I can think of off the bat are cheaper RT pricing many times, and Europe to US 1 way has fuel charges, while built as a return to US has no fuel surcharges.

domestically, usually not. In fact I find it easier to deal with two one ways when making changes, cancellations, etc.
Recently, I booked BOS-IND last minute and RT was only 10% more than OW

I see conflicting info about cancelling an award flight from Israel

Here it seems the fee is waived, is that correct?

https://www.delta.com/us/en/travel-planning-center/change-or-cancel-your-trip/cancel-change-requirements

Depending on where you are flying from and the type of ticket you purchased, change and cancellation fees may apply. The Change and Cancel Waiver is still in effect for flights originating from Asia, Oceania, India and Israel so that customers originating in these regions may continue to change or cancel their flight without incurring a change or cancel fee.

I went to book an award today and it showed this, saying I would not earn any mqm or mqd. It’s a regular Main cabin award ticket. Is this the downside of 15% off? @Dan ?

I’m looking at award pricing on Delta.com and it’s showing me discounted award prices for being a delta card member.

1. I don’t have a delta card.
2. Is it a new thing that card members get a discounted award price?

ETA: Just read this https://www.dansdeals.com/points-travel/milespoints/delta-amex-cardholders-now-save-15-off-deltas-confiscatory-award-pricing/ so #2 is answered!

#1 still trying to figure out? I don’t have a delta card now, I did have an Amex Card like 5 years ago but it’s been closed since then.

Pretty well known that delta chat is worthless at dealing with issues. Even if you give them specific instructions on how to fix the issue.

I got full credit of the flights in vouchers when they messed up on the chat as well as honoring the flights that I asked them to book :)

Was bumped down from a comp upgrade this morning (D1 757). Lost my comfort+ seat. Agent says I'll do you one better. Row 35 with an empty middle on an otherwise full flight.
Designated crew rest seats. Who knew these seats existed!
