Virgin Australia Awards Using Delta SkyMiles Are Back

Earlier in the week I reported how Delta SkyMiles didn't have access to Virgin Australia award space. This seemed to be an issue regardless of whether you tried to book online or by phone. That was pretty unfortunate, given that Virgin Australia is the airline which releases the most premium cabin saver level award space between the US and Australia, making it one of the best uses of SkyMiles.

The good news is that this was apparently due to an IT glitch, and Virgin Australia awards using SkyMiles were supposed to return this weekend.

And they have indeed -- Virgin Australia awards are now once again bookable on delta.com.

Are Upgrades Easier On American Or US Airways?

As I wrote about earlier, the integration between AAdvantage & Dividend Miles is happening this weekend. When it comes to the merger, this is the thing I was most looking forward to, as sad as I am to see Dividend Miles disappear.

What am I most excited about? Truly reciprocal upgrades on US Airways. Up until now Dividend Miles members could only get day of departure upgrades on American, and AAdvantage members could only get day of departure upgrades on US Airways.

Now the two airlines have modified their upgrade systems and are offering truly reciprocal upgrades, given that everyone is now "just" an AAdvantage member.

As a reminder, here's how the new complimentary upgrade system works:

A few days ago I explained the wind down schedule for the US Airways credit card, with the Dividend Miles program being folded into American AAdvantage. Barclays was only able to issue new cards for the Dividend Miles program. Existing cardmembers get to keep their cards and are transitioned into Barclays-issued American AAdvantage cards. But […]
