My child has severe allergies and just had a reaction. I cannot see myself go on a plane with him for 3+ hours without fresh air. Etc... (Truth is, he really has allergies. They asked for my doctor’s name and phone number and I gave it to them knowing that he has this issue on file.)

See last Mishna in Mesechtas Peah, I never understand how people have no issue doing things like this if not 100% true

I'm trying to book a same day one way ticket from nyc to fll. There is availability but its 6 times more than normal. I'm just curious to what dan means when he says it's more lucrative to have points for points because you can book a same day flight. I tried others as well but there arent availablitites. TIA

Also, check if it's available to be booked with partners, like air france and virgin atlantic.

I literally just double checked to make sure I dont look stupid and of course it became 15k for business one way. I could've sworn it was 30k!. If I get it, is there a chance I can give up my seat for cash and a diff flight or with business class it's different?

BA prices per segment, so a stopover flight will be more miles then a nonstop.

Is it true in order receive Delta Skymiles on partner flights you need to have a previous account with Delta?
If not you are limited to only receive miles fron flights within 30 days?
