Delta is contemplating unbundling its forward cabin offerings. Speaking during the airline's second-quarter earnings call Thursday, Delta president Glen Hauenstein hinted that a significant announcement could be in the offing.

Delta teases at unbundling forward-cabin fares

There was a point in time when the front section of commercial aircraft was almost exclusively reserved for those in suits and slacks. It's called business class for a reason, after all, so naturally, frequent flyers jetting off for work dominated those cushy seats. Nowadays, though, anyone with a hefty disposable income can claim a spot in first and business classes, turning seats in these premium cabins into hot commodities. With soaring demand, airlines are no longer handing out free upgrades like candy — that is, unless you've amassed enough street cred with them that they'll give it to you without asking. By street cred, we mean loyalty points.

Social Security COLAs are designed to protect the buying power of benefits, but many retirees are reportedly struggling with rising prices.

I recently flew the first half of a round trip on Spirit Airlines, which gave me a chance to give a few aspects of the Spirit Airlines Free Spirit and Saver$ Club experience a spin, including the discount for booking at the airport vs the Savers Club and both of those as compared against using Spirit Free Spirit points to book. I don’t often think of Spirit or its programs, but this experience left me thinking that I really ought to consider using Spirit more often….while simultaneously teaching me now to get not just low value, but negative value from their points.
