I have been flying more Delta lately because they have direct flights to Atlanta and wifi on the planes.

Recently I was on a long haul from Japan to Detroit and had reserved a window seat so I could sleep. However, when I got on the plane there was a woman with two teenagers sat in the row. She wanted to me to move to a middle seat that her daughter had been assigned!?! I spoke to the flight attendant who asked me to sit in the middle seat but said they would do something for me once we were up in the air.

Once we were airborne they moved me to an aisle seat and said they would be giving me some skymiles because I agreed to the change. 

Imagine my surprise to see 2,500 miles deposited into my account today. Nice gesture Delta!

It has been a while since I updated my site and I want to start it fresh so I have migrated to a new platform. 

Big news: Aeroplan has been making some changes and they have removed the seven year expiry on aeroplan miles, though you still need to make a transaction once a year to keep the account active. This is great news for people who cannot collect aeroplan miles very fast and have been saving for years as now they will not lose their miles. 

Aeroplan has also introduced some new tiers called Aeroplan Distinction which is going to start on January of 2014. I will be posting more about this soon.
