Delta Reverses Themselves On Minimum Stay Requirements for Award Tickets…. Maybe
A week ago I posted that Delta planned to implement minimum stay requirements on award tickets booked at the ‘low’ (aka standard) level within 21 days of departure. The change was posted on their website as coming in August. A reliable source, who knows much more about these things than I do, emailed to let me know that the change had...
