Delta Sky Club changes. I like them.

Delta has announced Sky Club changes, which I like a lot.  Here are the changes.

• Effective immediately, membership price is $695 annually. This Executive Membership will continue to allow two complimentary guests.
  
  
• For those customers who rarely need guest access, an Individual Membership at the current rate of $450 will be introduced Spring 2014. This membership will allow guest access for $29 per visit.
  
  
• Beginning May 1, 2014, all customers who receive complimentary Delta Sky Club access as a benefit of their eligible credit or charge card will no longer receive complimentary guest access. A $29 fee per guest will apply.

I hope that this thins the Clubs out.  So many people are allowed into the Clubs now, that sometimes it's not even worth entering for that cup of coffee and some snacks.  

Also, unfortunately, families of Sky Club members with Executive Membership will still be allowed to enter without any fees.  Too many kiddies.

A minor life evaluation.

Sorry for not posting in a while, but the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014 have been very busy for me, as I'm sure it was and is for many of you.

Delta is my favorite domestic airline, but I think I'm so used to it by now, that I'm a little jaded and even approaching nitpicky about my in-flight and non-in-flight experiences, and I don't like that.  As soon as I realized that I was in danger of becoming and acting like many members of a certain major travel website and its forums, I took a hard look at what was making me like that, and mentally took a step back in order to re-evaluate what exactly is important, both when traveling and with life itself.

Heavy thinking, but it's a new year (^_^)!
