Australia Someday: Enter To Win a Free Trip to Australia from Delta

by

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Delta announcing a contest called “Australia Someday” in which you could enter a daily drawing to win a free trip from Delta. While I didn’t expect much from the promotion, I always click through to see if there is anything that might be of interest to myself and readers of this blog. So I clicked through on this ad as soon as I … [Read more...] about Australia Someday: Enter To Win a Free Trip to Australia from Delta

US Airways Social Media Screwup: When My Work and Hobbies Collide

by

I have been light in blogging while on Safari in South Africa (the Internet has been slow and you know, I was on a safari), but this one is too good to pass up. Last night I was checking my Facebook feed and saw references to the “Epic US Airways Social Media Fail” and “Biggest social media fail ever!" Since just about every article on social media talks about this type of … [Read more...] about US Airways Social Media Screwup: When My Work and Hobbies Collide

Flying to Budapest with Delta’s Skyteam Partners in Business Class

by

For once the Delta website worked (mostly) how I wanted it to work. I am in Hungary right now speaking at a conference, but up until last week it was unclear exactly how I would get here. Well that’s not entirely true. I knew I would be arriving by an airplane, but the problem was that I had only booked flights from New York’s JFK Airport to Budapest. I had not yet figured out … [Read more...] about Flying to Budapest with Delta’s Skyteam Partners in Business Class
