The Delta SkyMiles American Express credit cards contain some excellent perks for loyal Delta fliers — and living in the Delta hub of Minneapolis-St. Paul, that’s a lot of us. But the cards’ reward-earning rates just haven’t been that impressive compared with other premium travel credit cards out there, even some no-annual-fee cash-back cards.

The changes, which take effect on Jan. 30, are spelled out at NewDeltaAmex.com. To celebrate, Delta has rolled out expanded welcome bonuses in October of up to 75,000 miles. The mid-level Delta SkyMiles Gold card will become a much stronger card if much of your spending is on dining and groceries. The SkyMiles you earn on those purchases will double from 1 per dollar spent to 2. You’ll still get 2 miles per dollar on Delta purchases. The gold card’s annual fee … [Read more...] about Delta’s SkyMiles credit cards just became a lot more rewarding

(Photo: AFP/Lucas Barioulet) The reigning champions had suffered a shock 2-0 loss in their previous home game against Reims, but had no such trouble at the Parc des Princes on this occasion despite their opponents' surprisingly strong start to the season. PSG head into the international break in control of the title race, while Nantes leapfrogged Angers into second place following a 1-0 win at home to Nice. "It's a good end to this period for us, and with a clean sheet, that's good," said Paris coach Thomas Tuchel, who saw three of his recent signings score as Pablo Sarabia and Idrissa Gueye also found the net. "With the recruits, we have gained personality and experience. We are more reliable." Neymar's late strike rounded off a strong individual … [Read more...] about Icardi scores first Ligue 1 goal as PSG cruise past Angers

By Simon Williams on Oct 10, 2019 in Antarctic, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Polar Regions, South America With the luxury of wide-open spaces in spectacularly remote locations, the rural hideaways of Latin America’s varied geography lie under some of the clearest skies on planet earth. From the arid deserts of northern Chile to the tropical wetlands of western Brazil, travellers seeking the bliss of isolation in the countryside are also treated to wonderful views of the stars due to the lack of urban light pollution.

Here are our favourite places for stargazing in the region… The Atacama Desert, Northern Chile Renowned for some of the clearest skies in the world, Chile’s arid Atacama Desert is also the driest on the planet. With very few major settlements, the dramatic landscapes of this surreal … [Read more...] about Latin America’s best stargazing spots
