On Thursday I posted about Delta NONSTOP NYC, a promo where 40 winners will win an unforgettable trip for two to LA (from NYC).

The sweepstakes was supposed to start today (and include more info about the giveaway). However, due to the storm in the Northeast the start date of Nonstop NYC has been changed to November 5.

The number of weeks to play have been reduced from 7 to 6. The good news is that there will still be 40 opportunities to win!

When the sweepstakes starts next week the first mission will be:

  • Around the World NYC or Not

Let’s hope the storm doesn’t turn out as bad as predicted and the damage is minimal. I know my windows are all shut and lots of water bottles are filled! 

Stay safe everyone!

Father’s Day 2012 is an extra-special one for me- It’s my first time celebrating as a Dad! 
To start off the weekend we did one of my favorite things- we spent Friday night at the Radisson in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The main purpose of this little trip was to earn 50,000 Club Carlson points from the Big Night Giveaway promotion.
We’ll be spending Father’s Day with family, which should be very nice.

My son Lucas Miles W. was born on January 11, 2012. He is a very happy, cute and curious baby. He is always smiling, laughing & looking around and loves to play. He has been a great travel partner so far. Lucas has visited one country (outside the US) and 3 U.S. states. We look forward to our upcoming trip to South Dakota in a couple of weeks from now and hope to visit Europe at the end of August.
I want to wish all of the Dads out there a Happy Father’s Day!
Don’t forget that today is the last day to sign up for the Delta Dad’s Big Break Sweepstakes!

Delta Offers Free Access to Amazon with In-Flight WiFi

On March 5 Delta announced that they will be offering free WiFi access to shop on Amazon.com and AmazonWireless.com on all Delta and Delta Connection flights with in-flight wifi access.

Delta offers the worlds largest WiFi equipped fleet of planes. Over 800 Delta aircrafts are equipped with in-flight WiFi service.

I love shopping on Amazon.com. Shopping online sounds like a great way to kill some time during a flight. However, I have one problem with this offer- I can’t earn Hawaiian Airlines miles by clicking to Amazon through the Delta in-flight browser. Hawaiian Airlines is the only way to earn additional miles for shopping on Amazon. (You earn 1 mile per $1)

I wonder how many people will be interested in shopping on Amazon during theiur Delta flights?

Delta: Enjoy Preferred Seats on International Flights

Would you pay a fee for a desirable, preferred seat on your flight?

Delta is now offering the option to pick a Preferred Seat 24 hours before your departure on select international flights.

This option is now available for flights to and from London, Barcelona & Tokyo-Narita and many others.

Preferred seats can be purchased for as little as $39 per segment or you can get complimentary access when booking a Y or B economy class ticket.

I am not sure that I am willing to pay extra money to pick a seat towards the front of the plane. I’d be happy with an aisle seat towards the back.

Preferred Seats are

  • Bulkhead seats
  • Aisle seats toward the front of the plane
  • Window seats toward the front of the plane
  • Emergency exit row seats

Check out the Preferred Seating Options here

**Update**
Preferred Seating is also offered to Medallion members, SkyTeam Elite and SkyTeam Elite Plus members,  Alaska Airlines MVP and MVP Gold members.
