Sign me up for BOM, my butter chicken low light is on.
It's going to be SEA to HKG, that's been announced.

Delta Launches New Seattle Service to Seoul and Hong Kong - Aug 21, 2013

Starts June 2014 on the A330-200.

But I wish we did more India. Problem is that Air India must dump the seats at low, low prices as the government supports them to the tune of billions per year. Can't make any money competing with that.

I know it has been covered but:

How do I purchase a full fare DAL ticket, discounted for employees? Is it worth it or can I buy cheaper on web-sites? Thanks.

Is that the Indian place on the same side of the street as the Green Awning? If so I agree, the Nan is awesome and it's a great meal. Even comes with a beer.

Delta thanks employees for working over Thanksgiving holiday weekend

November 27, 2013


Delta planned to show appreciation to many frontline employees who are working the holiday Thursday with turkey dinners and a variety of thank-you efforts as the airline faces one of its busiest stretches of the year.

In-Flight Service has been showing their appreciation for flight attendants around the system this month with a series of events. During this week flight attendants working the busy schedule saw everything from grab-and-go lunches [in the pilot lounge when they went to park their rollerbag in front of a computer] and hot holiday meals to hot apple cider and pancakes served in flight attendant lounges.

Many Airport Customer Service employees at Delta hubs will be served Thanksgiving meals Thursday, while other locations have holiday meals planned later in December, ACS leaders said. Some divisions such as Delta TechOps already held Thanksgiving meal events prior to the holiday.

At Delta Cargo, operational teams are set to enjoy turkey dinners brought in for those working the holiday while the customer service center staff has plans for a pot luck lunch in Atlanta and Minneapolis/St. Paul, where they will bring sides to compliment ham and turkey provided by Delta.

In Reservation Sales, a series of holiday pies and coffee are set to be available for specialists working the holiday while some stations have catered meals and trays of meats and sandwiches.

In turn, many Delta people continue to donate coats and other items to help those less fortunate during the holiday season. IFS is continuing its Giving360 winter coat and food drive this week at all bases with a goal of delivering thousands of items to those in need around the country on Dec. 20. ACS is doing its own coat drive and other divisions are participating in charitable efforts as well.


WOW! I guess you can't say we weren't warned!


Maybe I wasn't humble enough?

Are you talking about the "Fly Confirmed, Fly Confirmed for even Less" discounts? (Apologies if I misunderstood your question.)

TravelNet ---->
Leisure Travel Tab ---->
Fly Confirmed Discount Programs

My experience, so take that for what it's worth, the 'savings' depend on the route & specific flights you choose. It may behoove you to check competing sites like Kayak, Priceline, etc. to make sure you're getting the best deal possible. YMMV

Another caveat. "Fly Confirmed for Even Less," tickets are cheaper but are non-refundable and non-changeable. Even the "Fly Confirmed for Less," tickets may non-refundable depending on various hidden factors. Also, if you change dates you will notice that the new tickets are considerably more expensive due to the fact that "hidden" change fees have been applied.
