New Turkish Airlines Business Class Review, Delta Amex Refresh a Big Fail, Huge Delta Move Could Make Interesting Routes Available, and More!

I have not done a roundup post in a while because of my slowness in posting for the month of September – way too busy on the road. So, there will be some posts from up to a couple of weeks ago that I feel are still relevant now (no old deal posts!).

Posts may slow a bit over this month as well as we await the arrival of a new baby! An exciting time and, of course, there will be some things more important going on than blogging! 🙂

Italicized posts are from the title
