I believe that just have to be booked. I don’t think you have to actually travel by 1/31. If that helps you out.

Unfortunately, they do need to be flown before the expiration date. Delta e-credits on the other hand just need to be applied before expiration.

Have never had this be the case with about 6 companion passes by now… just needed to book and get trip ticketed prior to expiration.
Gotta give some love to Richmond airport (RIC) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) from my travels this weekend. RIC is a nice smaller airport but no real issues to speak of coming in. DCA is bigger but did not seem as busy as other DC area airports. I don’t know when they did it but they changed the security layout and it is much sooner than the previous location (right at the entrance of terminal 2) which was a mess previously.

Think it has been a recent change - was planning on using one of my passes that expires the end of the month for March, and errored out. I call Delta and they said it had to be used, ticketed, and flown for a date prior to expiration.
Centurion lounge in Vegas offering only “Continental” breakfast this morning. That means pineapple, watermelon, bananas and apples. Pretty disgraceful.

Well that’s a real turd in the punchbowl.
The move at airports now might just be to go to the gate because every single person is in the lounges at this point

I would agree except every food option is inevitably either closed or has a 20 minute line. The food places close at like 6pm in major airports!
We need to have a national reset on the airport situation in this country.

ATL to SFO on Wednesday. 5.5 hours. Not sure I’ve even been on that long of a domestic flight. Might actually bring my neck pillow for once.

Yes, it’s the infrequent flyers who use Southwest that are in a cult. Certainly not the frequent flyers who take a blood oath with one of the big 3.

Ran into the same spread this morning at The Club at MSY. Actually too generous to even call it a spread.
Flight from SFO to PHL was such a night and day experience. SFO was clean, well updated, smoothly operated. PHL was a nightmare. On our way out to SFO, all of our luggage, including my clubs, came out within 5 minutes of getting to the baggage claim. PHL took over an hour. Entire airport is a shithole, and I say that lovingly as it is my home airport. Two of the three baggage carousels went down. So badly that a guy was just carrying 2 bags at a time up the ramp and yelling out names for people to get their bags. Was an absolute disaster and he looked like he was on the verge of passing out from the exhaustion.

One more thing about flying in 2023. I don’t want to be insensitive but the wheelchairs are completely out of control. If you happen to be a fatass I’m sorry, that’s not a disability. These lard asses board before everyone else, block the line to get off the plane in the jetway and just generally make the whole process more annoying for everyone else. This also goes for the perfectly healthy like 72 year olds who just don’t feel like walking. Enough.

On board with this! Huge peeve is when the check in line or tsa line is 20+ deep and they just get to roll up to the front. This really plucks my feathers!

Throw the wheelchair abuse with service animal abuse and you’ve got an agenda that unites everyone. The people who abuse this shit and actually take away from folks who need it are truly the bad hombres

Check it out. It’s absolutely our government. Giving bad subsidies, adding corn to everything to make Iowa happy, and the FDA making a terrible food pyramid every 10 years.
