Chapter 7: Travel Like You're First Class, Even if You're Coach Status!!

I enjoy being treated like royalty. Relishing in deep tissue massages at spas like Burke Williams and Canyon Ranch are my favorite. Indulging in relaxing amenities, and feeling like a Queen, makes life worth living!! Can't I experience similar pampering when I fly? Nope!

I have endured "coach" class for most of my travels, where pampering is is frowned upon (maybe even more frowned upon than smoking in the lavatory). Usually, I fly any airline with the best rates, which does not equal enough points to travel business/first class for every trip. It's impossible to be VIP when you're squished in  coach for hours on end, sitting next to severely overweight and smelly people. I need to be fed grapes! Especially on days when I am exhausted, and landing in random midwest airports for the majority of the day.

Here is the solution for me... and I hope this helps you, too! Delta has come to the rescue. Before you check-in to your flight with 12 layovers, visit www.delta.com and purchase a Delta Sky Club One-Day Pass. This pass is a lifesaver! For $50, you can visit the Sky Club (VIP Lounge with free drinks, wi-fi, and comfortable lounge chairs, and hot business dudes-- strictly for business networking purposes only!!). The best part is you don't have to fly on Delta Airlines to obtain this pass! You could be traveling on any carrier and Delta will acknowledge that you need a little VIP r&r.

The other exciting detail is if you are scheduled to fly that calendar day, you'll have access to all Sky Clubs in every airport. They don't feed you grapes, but the amenities are totally worth it!
