| T4X SoHo, NYC |
Last week I was excited to attend the Delta T4X closing party and concert in New York City. I had visited T4X previously and had a great time. (Read about my visit HERE.)
T4X was set to close on Wednesday, May, 22, two days before Terminal 4 (T4) opened at JFK Airport.
The concert featured Ed Sheeran, a singer that I had never heard of before. Based on the line of fans waiting to get a glimpse of him just outside the theater (made up of mostly young girls) I could tell that he was definitely a known performer.

Check back for detailed posts about each of those events very soon.

| The new Sky Club entrance at T4, JFK Airport |
In honor of the opening of Delta’s Terminal 4 (T4) at JFK Airport I wanted to do a little giveaway today.
While visiting Delta T4X, I was able to get a bunch of 10% off flight coupons and drink vouchers from the friendly staff. I was originally given one flight certificate and two drink vouchers. While chatting with the staff I decided to ask for a few extras to share with my readers. They were happy to oblige so here is the first giveaway.
One lucky winner will receive:
Last month I wrote about a unique way to experience Delta’s new Terminal 4 before it opens at a unique pop-up location in New York City called T4X.
T4X opened on May 1 and I had been wanting to stop by but hadn’t had the time. Yesterday I finally got an opportunity to check it out. I had a great time and also picked up some very nice Delta goodies, some of which I would like to share!
Just a little refresher about T4X:
I recently received an e-mail from Nina (aka Delta Gold Lass on Milepoint) with a pretty funny sign. While the average person might not see the humor, most of us in the mileage collecting hobby should see the humor here!
Nina is a speech language pathologist working with children ages 0-5. Most of them have autism spectrum disorders (I happen to work in the same field as a special educator).
She was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, living directly across from the Atlantic Ocean. She is still not back in her condo yet but her saving grace is travel.
I wanted to find out a little more about this sign and sent Nina a few questions.
Here they are:
MW: Where did you spot the sign?
Nina: I spotted the sign along Route 80 in rural central Pennsylvania.
MW: When did you spot it?
Nina: I saw it on April 19 & 21. I was on the way to a gymnastics event at Penn State with some friends that love gymnastics.
MW: What was your reaction when you saw it?
Nina: I had to stop and pull over to take a picture because it was hilarious. To me it was hysterical in the eyes of a flying freak. I deliberately wait for Delta fares to drop and then take flights to no where just to accumulate MQMs.
MW: How did your friends feel when you decided to pull over?
Nina: My companions are accustomed to my lunacy and some have reaped the benefits. They also laughed, seeing my perspective but also rolled their eyes and grinned to bear the detour!
I want to thank Nina for sending in this sign and sharing a little about it with us!
***For those that don’t know, a mileage run (according to Wikipedia) is “an airline trip designed and taken solely to gain maximum frequent- flyer miles, points or status”.

Last month I wrote about Shake Shack And Other Impressive Food Options coming to Delta’s Terminal 4. (The post was also featured on Boarding Area blog Delta Points)
The new T4 will feature the largest Sky Club including the first Sky Deck, a 2,000 square foot outdoor terrace, more check-in counters, new powered seating to charge your gadgets and some great dining options. I’d love to check out the new T4 when it opens but I’m not sure when I will be flying through there again.
Here is another way to get a sneak peek into Delta’s T4 before it opens on May 24.
