LAX to Paris CDG: Delta One or Air France Business class

Deciding between Delta one from LAX to Paris for 106k skymiles + $6 or Air France 60k miles + $293 taxes/fees.

Air France: 777-300 (not the a350)
Delta: A350-900

Lax has the delta one lounge and i can obtain platinum status.

Edit:
Booked Delta One on the a350 since i already had enough skymiles there.

Will I be charged back the credits used and the upgrade offer?

I had a delta platinum with the AF that renewed August 2025. I then upgraded it to Reserve on December 16 2025 through an upgrade offer for spend $2k get 15k skymiles.

In August 2026, the renewal for my Reserve card came up, and I was considering either downgrading to the Delta Blue or canceling it. However, since I upgraded less than 12 months ago, will I be charged any fees or have the 15,000 points clawed back?

RT to Japan from LAX

I currently have a stash of 294k SkyMiles and I'm booking a roundtrip flight to Japan this December. I'm seeing the following redemption rates for my dates:
Main Cabin: 108k miles
Premium Select (PS): 170k miles
Delta One (D1): 280k miles

I'm torn on the best strategy here. Should I save as many points as possible, lock in Main Cabin for 108k, and try to pay cash for upgrades closer to the flight? Or should I just go all out and drop the 280k to guarantee Delta One on a flight this long?

Would love to hear your thoughts

Purchase D1 LAX to HND for 165k or book PE and wait for upgrade offer?

I am planning a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (HND) and evaluating my options using Delta SkyMiles. I found a Delta One award ticket for 165,000 miles. Alternatively, I can book Delta Premium Select (Premium Economy) for 81,000 miles and hope for a reasonable upgrade offer closer to the departure date. Is 165k SkyMiles a good redemption value for Delta One on this route, or is it wiser to book Premium Select and gamble on a later upgrade?

Does the meal pass work at all parks?

Hello, I recently paid off a Pixel 9. I submitted an unlock request on the AT&T website, and it was approved, but the Pixel 9 still shows as locked despite the approval. I have powered the phone off and back on, removed the AT&T SIM card, and inserted two other SIM cards, but I only get a message saying to contact AT&T to unlock the device. Its connected to wifi. I started a chat with att rep and they could not help me and told me to call tomorrow when theyre open.

Are there any other setting i may have missed?


Sim card isn’t supported

Ask ATT if device can be unlocked

I have 5 lines I am planning on switching over from att. I owe on 2 devices and was going to take advantage of the switch and the $800 promotion. Do I need to select the highest-tiered plan, or can i go with the “Better Value” plan and still be eligible?

Additionally, i used the switch and keep promotion in December of 2023, not sure if that automatically disqualifies me.
