I think that N639DL would be more comfortable if you did not combine my meeting his mother with jug handling.

I'm pretty sure it'll be up to you to complete that combo.

Delay out of BHM, MX cancel on the first flight, and now sitting in the ATL D27 club which is a freakin dump! Wish I had enough time to either go to E for One Flew South, or to F to sit in the club there.

Edit: Oh yea and due to Obama, the alignment of the stars, FCM, Shena, only being a FO, lack of Woodford, and any other excuse I can come up with today, not a single upgrade has cleared (I usually end up being like 3rd on the list).

Yeah ok...

Anyway, I still can't believed that I applied for a job in the aviation industry. I really hope that I can get it. It would mean one heck of a weird schedule for the spring semester but I would really enjoy it.

You can never tell -- she might get lucky someday.

Hey guys I need some advice. I have about 80000 sky miles and do not want to be traveling right now. What would be the best most efficient way of converting them to cash?

Thanks!

There is no efficient way of converting them to cash. Sign up for Skymiles Dining, go eat at one of the restaurants once a year so your account stays active until you're ready to travel.

Or if you're feeling generous, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands

Welcome to FlyerTalk, the Delta SkyMiles forum, and The Lounge™ in particular, Ksquires1991!

Delta Air Lines SkyMiles do not expire, so travel later if you do not want to travel now.

I am looking for some AZ-Flights from Europe to China and back in March 2013. Good Price it is indeed - Point is, i would like to collect them on my Delta Account - but I don't see how many Miles that would give me...Is there any Calculator or something?

Is there currently no gift card options? Because when I look at it, it doesnt show me any options.

And thanks for the welcome everybody!!!

Edit: nmd, I just had to log into my sky miles account to see them

Thanks for the help!

Click here and try this option — it may not be exact but it should give you a close idea of how many miles you would earn.

For example, I tried Rome to Beijing and the results were that the distance was 6,363 miles each way on Alitalia.

That is especially irritating when you must stop at the same traffic light — twice.
