Dont forget that PepsiCo is HQ'd in Purchase, NY (Westchester County/White Plains) and that JFK is "DL's most important" hub and they are also the "Home Town Airline" to NYC....so it'll get really interesting if they do indeed drop PepsiCo (Dont forget PepsiCo is a very large snack food company too)
I don't mean to be difficult (oh, well, to be brutally honest, I do) but Biscoffs are a stiff, monotone, sclerotic, sick rendition of a glorious European cookie - - the bright, almondy, nutty, dapplingly resplendent and liberating bake called the German "Spekulatius" or the Dutch "Spekulaas" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculaas
The "Biscoff" version is such a dense, dark, dubious, unhealthy-oil-besotten, hard, miserable version of what should be a bright, joyful, exuberant cookie that you might want to read the specs: http://www.biscoff.com/gourmet/shop?...page=Nutrition
I like coke more than pepsi. That's my positive thing...
My favorite Delta change over nwa.com is the ability to simply click the "refundable" tickbox when I want to book refundable fares. Almost all of my work travel involves constantly changing schedules. I want to know my booking is refundable without having to read through 15 paragraphs to see if selecting "non-penalty fares" at nwa.com actually resulted in a refundable fare.

Said the FlyerTalker named in honour of the Spinzel (RIP)... yeah, they were genuine!
Not nearly as much as Interstate BBQ in MEM does for NW.
Perhaps...Interstate BBQ is pretty decent. Then again I'd much rather pick up a car in MEM and drive to the real neighborhood joints if I've got time. Kosy Korner near St. Jude's, Tops' on Union, Three Little Pigs off Mt. Moriah...now you're talkin' cue. If you ain't local, all you need is a GPS and you're good.

No doubt about it, but the question was not local joints, it was in airports.
I love the little places too but the best I've ever had is at the Ren. This is dry heaven. Corky's dry is also very, very good.
