I just booked seats to the RSA in July. Business class on Delta was $14,700 per ticket. I was stunned.

I booked these anyway as I had some large credits that would otherwise expire. I would have never booked these absent the credits that we had.

I have loyally flown Delta for many years. I have flown approximately 4.7 million miles with them. Given these prices and the changes to the frequent flyer program, I see myself being a lot less loyal. A hell of a lot less loyal.

They don't call their mile points Sky Pesos for nothing. I've stopped flying them except to SLC as it's the only direct flight there. Still have a pile of miles to use.

Not a chance would I pay 14k for business when you can fly Qatar for about 10k less.
