When did Delta get rid of the fees for booking "last-minute" award reservations online? Great job, Delta. Thanks! ^^
Also, on that same link, when it says "Direct Ticketing", does that mean ticketing via the phone? So, that means there is no fee (for Gold and Platinums) for booking award tickets over the phone, right?
If so, good stuff.
I don't know when this took place. But congratulations on Delta for moving in the right direction. With such limited award availability and encouraging their customers to book at the last minute to find low awards, it makes perfect sense to do this. So two thumbs up for this change which I hope lasts for a while.
"Direct Ticketing" that was referenced in the link likely refers to the $20 fee over the phone or $35 fee at Ticket Offices
