Shelby, seeing you do things like this makes me so HAPPY. YOU got yourself here and it shows. Ive been watching you since 2011, when beauty gurus were all the rage, I used to watch your videos about makeup,gymnastics and it was always filmed in your blue or purple room( its been a while) Ive watched your journeys throughout the last ten years and seeing just how far youve come is inspiring. Your filming style and how far youve come with filming in general, is so great! Keep going girl, we will be here to support you!!
Thank you soooo much for watching over the years! It does feel kind of crazy, first class always seemed out of reach growing up!
That was such a long praise of someone you have never met
@@goldenboyi1989 if i recognize someone’s success, i will say something
@@26fitch it was really long-can u praise me too?
@@goldenboyi1989 i sure can golden boy
I was on this flight!!! I thought I saw you but wasn’t sure! Hope you enjoyed South Africa!
From a person who travels a lot, Delta One is actually really pricey for what it is. While Delta may consider its "One" class a first class product, it is an American airline, which means Delta One is more like international business class. Delta itself is one of the largest American airlines operating both international travel and domestic travel, but its first class product is similar to that of British Airways business class and Qantas Airways business class, which is fairly cheaper than Delta One. However, great to see you try new aviation product on your channel and a switchup of the usual vlogs. Keep going!
Agree - U.S. based airlines are not really about the pampering. This is comparable to int'l business class on LOT Polish, with slightly more privacy.
You are the one RUclipsr that keeps it 100% real. I love your honesty. Everyone does actually.
Agree 👍
Thank you!!
I honestly feel Shelby seems to glow and be most vibrant and be the best version of herself...when she is relaxing on high thread count sheets in first class with a glass of champagne and watching Netflix! This is the best version of shelby that we admire and appreciate!
Thank you so much for your intelligent and useful comment.
What the fuck
Delta First class seems more like business class on some of the international airlines. Also, rates for using your points will change based on when you fly, how much of a layover or stops you have, etc. We are planning a trip now on AirFrance and business class can cost anywhere from 77,000 roundtrip (if I am willing to switch airports!) to 235,000, based on the day I fly. Also, while you can book AirFrance business, you can't book first class with miles unless you have platinum status, which means 4 flights.
Thats correct.
It‘s a business class
It's business class. Delta does not operate first class. Delta One is businesss class
@@dominick6131 This is incorrect. It all depends on the airplane and where you’re flying to. When flying domestic US, it’ll likely be First Class as their premium class. Internationally (or to/from Hawaii, depending on the airplane), it’ll likely be Delta One as its premium class.
@@penguinswithwifi domestic first class is not first class. It's just a larger recliner seat, so it doesn't even meet the standards of business class. It's just a play on nomenclature to trick customers. Domestic first-class is basically the same as International premium economy
Much like a killer whale is not a whale. It's just a play on nomenclature. And Guinea pigs are not pigs nor are they from Guinea
@@penguinswithwifi No US airlines offer a true first class. Delta One is business class and despite domestic narrow-body flights being marketed as having "First Class" that would be considered business class in any other country.
I flew to Hawaii on a buddy pass (from a Delta employee friend) during the pandemic. There were so few passengers that I got upgraded to Delta One on both of my flights!!! The sad part was that because of the pandemic there were no fancy meals being served. Instead they gave us as many of those box meals and snacks you usually have to pay for in economy. The Delta One pods are so cozy especially with the plush pillow & blanket. I slept for a few hours on both flights. I’d never had the experience of being able to sleep on a fully extended seat/bed. It was especially appreciated on my flight home since I took the red eye that leaves HNL at around 10 pm.
Delta One is business class. Looked like a great flight though!
I was just looking up Delta One flights to London and Egypt just for pricing ideas earlier this week and then had considered looking it up for South Africa after talking with coworkers yesterday! Perfect timing for the video!!! Thank you!
Phenomenally told, great job Shelby!
I have to agree with you about Delta. Thank you for sharing about your travels and how to make it that you don't have to spend much but get such a value . Again a wonderful video Shelby!
I took a flight from Atlanta to Cape Town. It was an exceptionally long flight where we only stopped at Cape Verde to refuel for 1 hour. After a long flight, only thing I was thinking was - OMG, I am in San Diego.
Very interesting video! Ive always wondered how the miles/points system worked. Id love to see more videos exploring this topic!
This video was so fun to watch! Flying is one of my favorite things because there are always fun adventures that they lead to!
Enjoyed this video, thanks!
Awesome video, Shelby! Really helpful tips.
I absolutely love this channel. You make me wanna take trips like this
Really helpful and great information, brilliant video thank you 😃💛
Thanks for not gate keeping this information. I am looking forward to using cc points to travel. Hope you enjoyed your trip.
This is a great video, Shelby!!
Great job. Really good detail and overall information.Appreciate the information.
Great vid & info! Keep up the vibe.
Love this video Shelby! I really enjoy your content, can't wait to see the flight from London.
Would any other tuber be this open Shelby you're awesome.
Your videos are high quality with so much information to learn from. I want to learn from you on your story telling techniques and how you take B-rolls :) Keep it up, Shelby!
Great video!
Really good information on how to get good deals on flights. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Love this!!! So helpful so good to hear a women talk about these things not just a man! Please do more !!
This video really help a lot thanks 😊
I love your voice. I could listen to you talk about anything.
I loved this video it was so fun to see you travel and doing something you've always wanted to do! Keep up the great work!
I hope you have fun in London Shelby,a little cold this time of year,stay safe keep smiling much love ✌️❤️🇬🇧
You always do such a great job on these review type videos and kudos on your narration, which was clear and enthusiastic. You rock!
LOVED IT! Thank you Shelby. I'm new to your channel but your videos are becoming favorites of mine.
Thank you so much!
Great info! 🛩
Thanks for making this video Shelby! I live a 10+ hour flight from almost anywhere international, so always looking for ways to improve the flying experience. Coincidentally was just looking yesterday at different credit card options.
Hello thanks for your vidéo and your tips!
Great information!!!
Been considering the chase sapphire card thank you 😊
Great vid Shelbs
Can’t wait to see what you make of London (if you vlog the trip) ☺️
liking and commenting for the algorithm. you always do great work, Shelby!! your channels are literally the reason i even watch youtube these days.
Hi Shelby, just a small btw. While Delta One is a premium product it's actually classified as a business product for international flights. Delta's technical first class is only available on domestic flights within the US. 👍🏽
Amazing video!!!!
Hope you can enjoy your trip
Following your channel from the last two years, great content. Interesting! >3
wow this is unique and original content. we need more of this!! /s
Very interesting video, it is interesting to think of airline prices. Many complain about the low service for airflight, but this video shows what the prices would need to be if we were all to pay for the luxury service. I will also have to try some of those credit card hacks. It gets hard because I usually miss a step somewhere and miss the deal.
My partner and I will be flying Delta One on our longer leg flights to Paris from NYC for a work trip from his company and this was super informative!!
You guys are coming to London?!! That's fantastic! I'm sure you don't need it but if you're after any suggestions do holler! Think you'd love Ev cafe in Isabella St/The Cut - it looks sketch until you get there! And top floor cafe outdoor balcony at John Lewis is a nice place to decompress in Oxford St. Can't wait to see the vids!
Love this video Shelby, I love seeing what first class flights are like, thank you for sharing 🤩💜
What movie were you watching?
Can you do a video about how to research flights and find transfer partners???? I have the points but having a difficult time navigating the transfer partners😊😊❤❤
Thanks 4 the research. Good 2 know.
Thats the best way of flying commercial. Thanks for the review and if you need some sound to sleep during flight, you can use my one
Definitely a dream of mine to fly first class! One of my goals for the future. Thanks for motivating us to live our best lives
This was a great video, Shelby-ball. Great tips on those flights. Your soggy egg was gross though.
I always knew first class was fancy, but I didn’t know it was THIS fancy!
Great video!
Except this is business class not first class.
It's not very surprising that First Class flights to Europe cost more, as British Airways, for example, has a proper First Class. In contrast, Delta One is a Business Class and nothing more. For instance, BusinessElite was renamed to Delta One. Delta makes it a bit confusing with the names, by using "First," but in the international comparison, Delta One is considered a Business Class. A proper First Class can be found, for example, at BA, Lufthansa, or Emirates.
So interesting I’ve never tried any other airlines first class!
@@ShelbyChurch yes it is. I can really recommend to save your amex points and try other airlines😀
@@ShelbyChurch you should try Emirates and Qatar Airlines
looks a lot like a flight on Lufthansas I had in 2012, quite nice for sure.
Love your videos! You should try an emirates one next! Those seats do look like a mattress!
4:46 I like that it’s all nice and modern and down to earth and not over the top „luxury“ as emirates or something
I’m glad I’m seeing this a few months after my work made me fly economy NYC to Hong Kong 😭 talk about uncomfortable!
Cool, that private room is highly appreciated
A word to the wise……opening multiple credit cards affects your credit negatively. Too many inquiries does too. So if you try to open a card and it’s denied, your credit can be effected.
I think it's best that you spread them out and pay off the first card off before you get another one.
I like your videos, watching from Africa.
Best regards from Ibarra Ecuador
Go Shel!!
I have flown Delta international and the hand towels use to be warm! Miss those times😂
You need to fly Emirates First Class, I've done that at least ten times now and it never gets old!
5 years ago when Delta changed to allow one way miles booking my friend and I got this two one way to and from London (one on delta and one on virgin using delta website) for only 70k each way. Flights and miles trips are so much more than they were pre pandemic. That said I just got two new CC to accumulate some more miles since I am going to the olympics next year and of course cannot fly in coach 😅
I churn through a few million points per year from sign up bonuses on credit cards and do 3-4 business class trips per year and I am very impressed by the level of research you put into this video. Everything was on point and is the best video I’ve seen teaching how to do this to a beginner. It’s always interesting to see how people get into this game!
I'm curious as to how signing up for so many credit cards affects your FICO score. I would think that it would impact it negatively. Does it?
@@jamiecloud1897 No it's actually good for your score if you pay everything off each month
what credit cards are u using to get millions of points with credit card bonuses? and don’t they limit how many times you can get a bonus on a credit card?
Hi Shelby, If you liked that flight you should try Air France Premier it will blow you away! Are you still writing on Medium?
I think one way you can measure if you are using points efficiently is to calculate your cpp (cents per point), then compare with the average cpp for the airline/hotel.
Smart lady! The sapphire card just gave me 80k for a new card. Great info
Love seeing more women taking advantage of these perks and how to get the seats🎉
The sapphire preferred welcome bonus going up on March 19th so wait on that if you plan on applying!
Depending on your bank account and the type of airline you choose and the offer , luxury at it's best
Thanks capt obvious
Excellent presentation thanks 🙏 in 😅God speed
I did the same. But I break down all the points for different trips just economic class fly
This isn't first class, but it is a great, comprehensive review. Nice video.
Yes want more info
Excellent! 100k+ points are still for big spenders and good on you to remind folks that paying interest on large balances doesn't make sense. :)
Common sense ain't common, sigh
Fantastic video as always. But DL One is business class, not first. Of the US carriers, only American offers International First Class
And AA is phasing it out.
The food looks really good...
Delta One is a business-class cabin for international travel. Only American has an international first-class cabin in the US and that is getting removed soon.
The food looks good. Do they serve the food only at a certain time?
I’m going to Kenya soon and hoping to fly Delta One
Try a first class on a non-US airline when you can. Singapore, Cathay, Air France. It'll be a very different experience from the Delta One. 😊 Great job with this video!
Could not agree more with you! Once you fly international carriers instead of the domestic ones that do international routes, you'll never go back to Delta, AA or UAL for overseas flights.
I want to get one of there credit cards now!
This was so interesting, thank you! You missed out on mentioning the capital one venture X card!! I opened it up last month to start earning points for my upcoing europe trip later this year and it's great. 75k signup bonus points, 10x the miles on hotels booked through the portal, 5x on flights (though I don't plan on booking flights through the portal) and 2x the points on everything else. Each year they give you a $300 credit to put towards travel which brings the annual fee down to $95!! I'm hoping by the end of my europe trip I'll have enough points for one way business class tickets on emirates from europe (or at least from dubai) to australia! I also have some chase points from my freedom card so good to know I can transfer both capital one and chase points to emirates and use a mixture of both!
8:28 yes but the delta one is much better because you can always do it yourself by a click. Those Emirates beds need to me made by a crew so you switch around as you want…
Nice video! Showing Delta business class April 2023 at such a bargain. Cheapest Delta flight every month after is 390K miles and 333 bucks. Better jump on that offer now. I already got my ticket.
I got upgraded a few times to fly this. The sleep quality is way better the food not so much tbh.
I'm considering Delta one for my trip to Ghana
You forgot the capital one venture x it’s probably the best credit card. The Amex it’s to expensive for the perks it has. Most people are not going to use all the benefits
Hi Shelby, can you book a flight using three different bank credit cards; that individually wouldn't cover the cost of the flights and still earn points on each card? If so sign me up, lol.
Delta One is actually business class, not first class. If people go searching for first class, they'll find something completely different, so make sure to search business class when you're looking for this!
Great tips
Too bad I have no plans to fly anywhere anytime soon
