Shelby, seeing you do things like this makes me so HAPPY. YOU got yourself here and it shows. Ive been watching you since 2011, when beauty gurus were all the rage, I used to watch your videos about makeup,gymnastics and it was always filmed in your blue or purple room( its been a while) Ive watched your journeys throughout the last ten years and seeing just how far youve come is inspiring. Your filming style and how far youve come with filming in general, is so great! Keep going girl, we will be here to support you!!

From a person who travels a lot, Delta One is actually really pricey for what it is. While Delta may consider its "One" class a first class product, it is an American airline, which means Delta One is more like international business class. Delta itself is one of the largest American airlines operating both international travel and domestic travel, but its first class product is similar to that of British Airways business class and Qantas Airways business class, which is fairly cheaper than Delta One. However, great to see you try new aviation product on your channel and a switchup of the usual vlogs. Keep going!
@benasaur Жыл бұрын
Agree - U.S. based airlines are not really about the pampering. This is comparable to int'l business class on LOT Polish, with slightly more privacy.
@CK1000ism Жыл бұрын
Delta First class seems more like business class on some of the international airlines. Also, rates for using your points will change based on when you fly, how much of a layover or stops you have, etc. We are planning a trip now on AirFrance and business class can cost anywhere from 77,000 roundtrip (if I am willing to switch airports!) to 235,000, based on the day I fly. Also, while you can book AirFrance business, you can't book first class with miles unless you have platinum status, which means 4 flights.

@@dominick6131 This is incorrect. It all depends on the airplane and where you’re flying to. When flying domestic US, it’ll likely be First Class as their premium class. Internationally (or to/from Hawaii, depending on the airplane), it’ll likely be Delta One as its premium class.

I flew to Hawaii on a buddy pass (from a Delta employee friend) during the pandemic. There were so few passengers that I got upgraded to Delta One on both of my flights!!! The sad part was that because of the pandemic there were no fancy meals being served. Instead they gave us as many of those box meals and snacks you usually have to pay for in economy. The Delta One pods are so cozy especially with the plush pillow & blanket. I slept for a few hours on both flights. I’d never had the experience of being able to sleep on a fully extended seat/bed. It was especially appreciated on my flight home since I took the red eye that leaves HNL at around 10 pm.

It's not very surprising that First Class flights to Europe cost more, as British Airways, for example, has a proper First Class. In contrast, Delta One is a Business Class and nothing more. For instance, BusinessElite was renamed to Delta One. Delta makes it a bit confusing with the names, by using "First," but in the international comparison, Delta One is considered a Business Class. A proper First Class can be found, for example, at BA, Lufthansa, or Emirates.

That said I just got two new CC to accumulate some more miles since I am going to the olympics next year and of course cannot fly in coach 😅

This was so interesting, thank you! You missed out on mentioning the capital one venture X card!! I opened it up last month to start earning points for my upcoing europe trip later this year and it's great. 75k signup bonus points, 10x the miles on hotels booked through the portal, 5x on flights (though I don't plan on booking flights through the portal) and 2x the points on everything else. Each year they give you a $300 credit to put towards travel which brings the annual fee down to $95!! I'm hoping by the end of my europe trip I'll have enough points for one way business class tickets on emirates from europe (or at least from dubai) to australia! I also have some chase points from my freedom card so good to know I can transfer both capital one and chase points to emirates and use a mixture of both!
