Amanqanaba eMileage kunye neBhonasi yokuDlulisa

Kwizicwangciso zam zokuhamba, bendikhangela inqwelomoya eya eDelta A350 esuka eShanghai Pudong International Airport isiya eLos Angeles ngoNovemba.

Ngelixa i-Delta SkyMiles ixabise amabhaso nge-jaw-dropping 230,000 miles kunye ne-31 yeedola kwiirhafu kunye neefizi, ndikwazile ukufumana amabhaso ngeentsuku ezininzi ebezakundisebenzela nge-60,000 yeVirgin Atlantic Flying Club yeekhilomitha kunye ne- $ 31 efanayo kwirhafu kwaye iifizi.

Ngenxa yexesha, ndikwazile ukuphakamisa i-30% yebhonasi yokudlulisa evela eCiti Enkosi Imivuzo. Ndidinga kuphela ukuhambisa amanqaku angama-47,000 eCiti kwiakhawunti yam yeVirgin Atlantic Flying Club ukuze ndiphele nge-61,100 iVirgin Atlantic iimayile- ngaphezulu kokulingeneyo ukubhukisha itikiti lam.

Ndifuna ukwazi, ndaye ndenza uphando kwezinye iindlela ezaziqhutywa ziinqwelomoya ngeDelta One Suites. Ngelixa i-Delta ihlawulisa i-86,000-300,000 yeemayile zendlela enye phakathi kweDetroit neAmsterdam, iVirgin Atlantic Flying Club ifuna kuphela iimayile ezingama-50 000 ukuya ngakunye.

Ukusuka eDetroit ukuya eTokyo Narita, ungafumana amabhaso eVirgin Atlantic eDelta One Suites iimayile ezingama-60,000 ... xa kuthelekiswa ne-300,000 Delta SkyMiles.

Nje ukuba i-Delta One Suites entsha ingene kwinkonzo kwindlela esuka eLos Angeles isiya eSydney ngo-Epreli, ungazibhukisha ii-75,000 ze-Virgin Atlantic miles, xa kuthelekiswa ne-120,000-465,000 Delta SkyMiles.

Amava

Ke ayenjani amava abhabha kwi-Delta One Suite eneneni? Ngelinye igama: kuyonwabisa.

Iisuti zilungiselelwe ngendlela egxadazelayo, ejonge ngaphambili kwipateni eyi-1 - 2 apho izihlalo zisondelelene ngokuthe ngxi okanye efestileni emacaleni. Izihlalo ezibini kwicandelo ngalinye leziko zitshintshelwe ekunene okanye ekhohlo komqolo ongaphambili ukuze kwandiswe isihlalo sabo. Isuti nganye inama-intshi angama-21 ukuya kuma-24 ububanzi kwaye ihleli kwisitya esipheleleyo esingama-intshi ezingama-79-81 ubude.

Imilinganiselo yee-suites ifana nezinye izihlalo ezikumgangatho wamashishini wamanye amazwe eDelta. Nangona kunjalo, baneminyango onokuyilayisha ivaliwe ngasese. Ndifumanise oko kwenza ukuba kube lula kakhulu ukuphumla kakuhle kwindiza ende ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa ngumsebenzi osephepheni. Ewe, ayikhange iyonzakalise into yokuba i-Delta ibonelele nge-Westin Heavenly Bedding kwaye izihlalo ezenziwe ngezihlalo zenziwe kumagwebu ememori ngokuhamba ngokukhululekileyo.

Indawo yam ecaleni kwenqwelomoya yaziva ibanzi kwaye inesitayile ngombulelo kwizinto ezimibalabala, ezigqityiweyo, kunye neendawo zokugcina ezenziwe ngobuchule, kubandakanya ishelufu yesibini kwindawo yokubamba iingalo apho unokubeka khona ilaptop yokuhamba kunye nokufika emhlabeni.

Ngokwetekhnoloji, i-Delta One Suites inezibuko ezikhawulezayo ze-USB kunye neeplagi zamandla kwindalo iphela, kungasathethwa ke ngezixhobo zokukhanyisa ezinokuzenzekelayo kwaye ungaphazamisi izikhombisi ezinokuthi abakhweli bakhanyise ukuba bashiyeke bodwa, yithi, ukuba bafuna ukweqa inkonzo yokutya. Khange ndilifumane ixesha lokukhanyisa ngokwezifiso, ngenxa yoko khange ndenze luhlengahlengiso. Kodwa ndiyithandile indawo yokuKhanya kokuKhanya, ebonelela ngokukhanya okuqaqambileyo.

Isuti nganye ine-Delta entsha ye-18-intshi yesisombululo sokuchukumisa isikrini kunye nabakhweli banikwa ii-headphone ze-LSTN ezithandekayo ukuba bazisebenzise nayo. Ukuba unayo i-headphones yakho yokukhetha ukukhwaza ingxolo, nangona kunjalo, ndingacebisa ukuzisa ezo endaweni yoko. Unokulindela iikiti ze-TUMI zokuzonwabisa ezigcinwe ngeemveliso ze-Kiehl zokunakekelwa kwesikhumba ukuze zihlaziye ngexesha lokuhamba.

Inkonzo yokutya, kubandakanya nezitya ezenziwe ngumpheki odumileyo uJereme Leung, yayinesidima, ukuba ayimangalisi. Ndikhethe isaladi eluhlaza enoqalo kunye neebhitethi kwisinxibo seesame, kunye nenyama yenkomo kwisosi yewayini ebomvu eneparmesan polenta kunye nespinatshi sesipinatshi, endikonwabele kunye neglasi yeLouis Latour Domaine de Valmoissine Pinot Noir yaseFrance.

Xa ilixesha lokulala, ndalayita isibonakaliso Sokungaphazamisi, ndanciphisa isihlalo sam ukuba ndilale-imo yeebhedi, ndavala umnyango wam ndaza ndazisonga phantsi kwe-Westin duvet. Ndilale ngokuqinileyo iiyure ezintandathu kwaye ndavuka kanye ngexesha lenkonzo yesidlo sakusasa ngaphambi kokufika e-LAX.

Ngokubanzi, ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya bekumnandi kakhulu - ngakumbi nangakumbi ngenxa yoyilo olwahlukileyo kunye nezinto zobuchwephesha zeDelta One Suites, imfihlo enikwe abo bavaliyo, kunye nenyaniso yokuba ndikwazile ukubhabha phantse simahla ngentlawulelo yeNtombi IAlantic Flying Club yeemayile zamava.
