Major expansion coming for Delta Premium Select
Written by Seth Miller @ Wandering Aramean
Passengers won’t pay for more space on planes. This is the commonly accepted mantra and driving logic behind the ongoing “densification” efforts to squeeze more seats onto planes. And, for the most part, that’s proven true. A growing subset of traveler…

Written by Seth Miller @ Wandering Aramean
I took the wrong seat by accident. With less space than I originally booked. And somehow it ended up a smart move. Travel is strange.

…or, The week that was – 11 September 2016.
Fifteen years back today changed the way many of us look at the world – more in the wrong way – and brought in massive changes to air travel. Think enhanced security, “random” screening, and whatever else!
Anyway, it’s been a rather slow week here at MAEM, but that doesn’t mean things aren’t happening out there in the travel, hotels and airlines space. So here’s a round up of the week that was – a summary of posts on this blog as also other things travel, aviation, points and miles that we found interesting.Hope you had a great week, and here’s wishing you the very best in the next one!

That one time when Jet Airways broke the rules…to help me out!
Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles & Even More
Many of us (and myself included) aren’t a happy lot with much of the changes Jet Airways is bringing about to the JP program. That said, I must admit (if it wasn’t apparent already), that I’m a pretty big fan of the airline and of Jet Privilege. Sure, they’ve made some flier-unfriendly changes, including Fare Choices, making JP pretty much a revenue-based frequent flier program, or the changes to partner award structures. Gone are the days of some fantastically awesome award routes for unbelievably low redemption requirements. But as with any and every other business, Jet simply reacted to the changes in the marketplace, and will continue to do so in the future.
And yet, in this post, I’d like to write about what I thought was a very “human” side of the airline.
