Don’t get me wrong. I like Delta. They’ve treated me very well, certainly better than other domestic airlines, and they’re almost always my first choice for travel.
But then something like this pops up. I’m dying to see the lava flows in Hawaii, but it’s not easy to get there, so I went on-line to see how many Delta miles I’d need to make the 11-hour journey up front. And this is what I got:
Why Can’t Delta Do Basic Math?
Really, Delta? The lowest fare is both 174.5K and 196K? And 196 is lower than 195 or 179?
I know that running an airline isn’t easy, and I try to be tolerant. But in this case I’m just baffled.
About J.M. Hoffman
A prolific writer and avid photographer, J.M. Hoffman picked up his first camera when he was eight years old. And even though he abhors a cliche, he never looked back.
Acclaimed as a "master raconteur" who writes with a "flair" (Times Literary Supplement of London), Hoffman authored two non-fiction books and contributed to over a dozen others before writing The Warwick Files. He continues to write fiction and non-fiction.
In addition to writing and traveling the world lecturing about his books, Hoffman has also directed a dance troupe, taught darkroom technique, and explored Patagonia on horseback. From time to time he can be seen playing table tennis poorly at the WTCC. He lives just north of New York City.
