Just to be clear, I don’t care about airline status because I want to get free upgrades or complimentary WiFi. In order to do the work that we do in the way that we have to do it... Folk like Tarah and I require the support that airlines offer to business travelers. This is about solving emergency issues which can arise during travel and could potentially ruin a whole project.
If you've felt slapped in the face by Delta, let me know your thoughts in the comments. Likewise, if you're already a frequent flier with Alaska, tell me all the pros and cons down below! 👍😁👍
