LGA/JFK please!

Come on SAN or SNA!

BUR or LAX, please.

When FL becomes WN, I wouldn't be shocked to see some sort of offer targeted to the Atlanta market, but for domestic flights only. I know everyone thinks we are captive, but WN will likely have an advertising campaign that will rival the one when IKEA came to town and Clark Howard will be telling everyone to fly WN. DL will likely pull out the stops to keep its ATL advantage.

Anywhere in the upper mid-west. Mid-tier airports like, GRR, especially ;)
I honestly do not favor MQM bonus' as it devalues BIS MQM travellers. I have no issue with 2x/3x/?x RDM miles. |
I would think DL would target select new flights (a la triple shuttle)--think BOS/MIA-LHR, perhaps just targeting all LHR flights to bring attention to the new service.

I think they will look more at new flights like some others have suggested. The problem is load factors, so they can not do a blanket DMQM like they did two years ago.

HND would've been a nice DMQM promo. |

This would be nice, but being that BOS/MIA to LHR starts March 26th, they would've announced a DMQM special for these new flights already.

I hope they don't offer ANY double MQM promos. I spend enough BIS I don't need 'em.
Bah Humbug :p |

Bah Humbug :p But I'm with you...I hope they don't do any DMQMs. I'd like to see the exchange rate on skypesos improve a bit this year vs. continuing their slide to damn-near monopoly money. |

It would be interesting to know if Delta has crunched the numbers of how many travelers with home bases elsewhere made RDU/STL/PIT/BNA trips under the promo and how much revenue this generated. Previous years from those cities could be used as benchmarks.
Yes, a large number of bonus MQMs were earned. However, at a minimum, this yielded a lot of positioning trips to those cities that would never have been taken otherwise. It would be really interesting to see if they picked a couple of stations out in the middle of nowhere for the promo -- say, Kalispell or Tri-Cities (Tennessee). I like the idea of random middle of nowhere airports. Gives me a chance to add to my Flight Memory. :) |

The promotion I'd like to see is DTFSITFSC* [doctor evil voice] * - double the friggin space in the friggin sky club (why is it so hard to find a friggin seat; it's not like I want a friggin seat with laser beams, just a friggin seat in the friggin sky club.) [/doctor evil voice] |
DL is doing triple miles on select FL cities (their words, not mine)...But i suspect it is BONUS miles, NOT MQMs (as the promo didn't say otherwise). But hey...I'll take what I can get. FWIW, you must travel by Feb 15. Fort Myers, MIA, TPA are among the destinations on DL site.
