My definition of Saver vs. Standard... is different from Delta's definition
The lowest published level is "standard" in my mind.
My definition of "Saver" is when an airline offers award seats below the lowest published rate. As an example, here is Alaska's award calendar for SEA-LAS (and v.v.) in October: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...egas-1-pax.jpg Oh, and if I change my request from 1 passenger to 7 passengers, here is the calendar: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...egas-7-pax.jpg A few important notes here:

Please fix the award calendar .....

More seriously, while advance notice is great in the big scheme of things the name change has zero bearing on the real issue with award travel. I could care less about the what the levels are called. Call them Larry, Curly, and Moe for all I care. How many years have people been asking for the calendar to be fixed? Until that happens anything, however remotely related to the award travel is going to be a whine and chez fest. PLEASE FIX THE AWARD CALENDAR !!! The American Airlines award calendar is EASY to use... The Delta award calendar SUCKS! I am a loyal PlatE+ DL flyer... But, why does it take YEARS ??? to FIX the award calendar??? |

Like the DL armed forces bag fees fiasco? You're right, a bunch of ineffective whining that didn't bring about any change.

The military baggage fiasco was born of social media, but as I recall, Delta acted only after the story had gained traction with traditional media. I just don't see the national outlets picking up FTers' pissing and moaning about complimentary alcohol offerings in airline lounges.

... Welcome to the "benefit" of longer-term "continuity" of management of the "loyalty" program. It's really pathetic. c|d |
Change is a fact of life. So is inflation...

UA and AA also call their low level awards "Saver" (SAAver in AA's case). If I say this ranks as a big "meh" to me, does that make me an apologist?
Just wish Delta would get United's 'saver' availability religion. |
