I’m not just planning Q1 travel now, I’m also planning out overall 2024 elite qualification strategy (which includes not just flying but of course targeted card spend), so it’s definitely annoying not to know where DL is going with this.
That's why I'm not bothering to wait for them to get their act together. I already have to start qualifying for 2025. So it's AA for me, regardless of what Delta does.
Already figured out how to get to Korea for our summer relocation on AA next year (AA doesn't have great partners to Seoul but they DO to Tokyo and it's a quick hop over to Korea from Japan, so that'll be our play there, etc.)
