Of Course A Delta Flight Should've Diverted For A Sick Dog...

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

Flight diversions due to medical issues with passengers are common. However, a Delta flight recently diverted because a four-legged traveler wasn’t feeling well, as reported by Matthew at Live and Let’s Fly. Was that unreasonable? This incident happened on Monday, May 26, 2025, and involves Delta flight DL694, scheduled to operate from Detroit (DTW) to Los Angeles (LAX). The flight was operated by an Airbus A321, with 181 passengers and six crew members onboard.

Brazil's Azul Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection, With A Twist

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

At the start of the pandemic, we saw several airlines file for bankruptcy protection, given the unprecedented challenges the industry faced. This was especially true in Latin America, where we’ve seen the four biggest airlines — Aeromexico, Avianca, GOL, and LATAM — all file for bankruptcy protection. You can now add another airline to the list, as Brazil’s Azul has just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States.
Buy Qatar Airways Avios With 50% Bonus (1.53 Cents Per Avios)

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

Buying miles & points strategically can represent a great value, especially for luxury travel. The Qatar Airways Privilege Club program has just launched its latest promotion on purchased Avios, and it has the potential to be a great deal, even if you’re looking to acquire another “flavor” of Avios. However, there are a lot of ways to acquire Qatar Airways Avios, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend outright buying them.
Cool: Eurowings Adds "Real" A320neo Business Class, As A Trial

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

Business class on narrow body jets within Europe is known for being lackluster, generally just consisting of economy seats with blocked middles and improved service. So there’s an exciting update, as a Lufthansa Group carrier will be installing more comfortable seats in business class on narrow body aircraft. Ironically, it’s not full service airlines like Lufthansa or SWISS that are doing this, but instead, the group’s low cost carrier, Eurowings.
How Nathan Fielder Was Able To Fly A Boeing 737 With 150 Passengers

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

A couple of days ago, I wrote about the second season of HBO’s The Rehearsal, starring Nathan Fielder. It attempts to examine pilot communication issues, and culminates with Fielder flying a Boeing 737 with 150 people onboard. I simply can’t stop thinking about that last episode. In this post, I want to talk about the logistics of how he was able to do this, since I’ve seen a lot of questions online about that. Yes, the whole thing was 100% real.
Amex Centurion Lounge SFO Closes Temporarily, Moves To Terminal 2

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

The current Amex Centurion Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has just closed, and is expected to remain closed for over two years. However, the good news is that a temporary Centurion Lounge is on the way. The Amex Centurion Lounge SFO Terminal 3 has closed as of May 27, 2025. While an exact reopening timeline isn’t yet known, the current plan is for the lounge to reopen in Q3 2027. I’d expect that to be a moving target, though. Why has the lounge closed?

Would You Stay At A Haunted Hotel? Or One With Bad Vibes?

1 week ago | onemileatatime.com | Ben Schlappig

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a quirky person, and some people will probably think I’m really strange for admitting these things. However, I’m curious if I’m alone in feeling this way. I’ve written in the past about some of my strange habits when staying at hotels, but let me admit an unusual habit I have when it comes to actually deciding which hotels I book…There are quite a few hotels out there that some people believe are haunted, whatever that actually means.
