For some Delta flyers, snack time is over

For some Delta flyers, snack time is over

Published by Sam Flores

If you’re thinking about boarding a Delta flight on an empty stomach, think again. Especially if your journey is brief. Delta Air Lines announced Tuesday that it will end its complimentary snack and beverage service on short-haul flights starting May 19. Service will no longer be provided to passengers seated in the economy cabin on flights of less than 350 miles. Passengers flying first class, however, will still be able to enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks, regardless of flight distance. It seems like asking for a free treat or two is simply too big a request now. You’ll need to pay up ahead of time if you’d like to indulge in a measly packet of Biscoff cookies or extra salty pretzels. How very 2026 of Delta. In separate statements to CBS News and The New York Times, a Delta spokesperson characterized the decision as an effort to “create a more consistent experience across our network.” “Even on the small number of flights without beverage service, our crew will continue to be visible, available, and focused …

Delta passenger kicked off flight and arrested after she’s accused of refusing to end phone call

Published by Sam Flores

A passenger was kicked off a Delta Air Lines flight and arrested after she allegedly refused to end a phone call. On Monday, Delta crew members asked Shannon Marie Harris, 46, to end her phone call, but she allegedly refused. The plane was preparing to depart from Miami, bound for Atlanta. Harris reportedly became belligerent, according to an arrest report obtained by WSB-TV. At that point, the pilot ordered the plane to return to the gate, where Harris was asked to leave the plane. She allegedly refused, at which point the flight crew asked all of the passengers to exit the aircraft. According to the police report, Harris tried to exit with the other passengers but was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing. In a video taken by one of the passengers that was shared with Fox 5 Atlanta, other passengers can be heard asking Harris to “please be considerate” and to leave the plane. A passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight from Miami to Atlanta was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing after …

Monument of Ramses II Discovered in Eastern Nile Delta Region

Monument of Ramses II Discovered in Eastern Nile Delta Region

Published by Jenni Sidey

The top half of a large statue of the ancient Egyptian king Ramses II was discovered in northeastern Egypt at an archaeological site called Tell El-Faraoun. The fragment weights over 5 tons and is about 7 feet tall. Ahram Online reported that the monument was likely part of a group of three statues that once adorned a temple, though likely not the one at Tell El-Faraoun, where it was uncovered. Rather, it is believed to have initially been carved for a temple in Per-Ramesses, an ancient capital city built by Ramses II in the 13th century BCE. Related Articles Hisham El-Leithy, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said in a statement, “The find provides valuable evidence of how statues were relocated and repurposed during the New Kingdom, particularly in regional centers connected to major royal capitals.” Ramses II lived between about 1279 BCE and 1213 BCE and is generally considered one of the most powerful Egyptian pharaohs. He is the subject of the Ramesseum, a sandstone funerary temple near Luxor. In 2024, a 12.5-foot-tall …

On Tuesday, the 47-year-old aired his grievances with the airline, writing on X: “Dear @Delta I’m Delta 360 and a Million Miler. This morning I paid for a Delta One seat from NYC to LA and when I got on the plane it was not a lay flat seat. I was very disappointed.” Delta One is considered the airline’s “most premium travel experience,” according to the website, and features 180-degree lie-flat seats on international and select long-haul domestic flights. Roach’s post on X has been flooded with comments accusing him of entitlement. “Thoughts and prayers to you and …

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity

Published by José Betancourt

Great swathes of rock music since the nine­teen-six­ties would nev­er have exist­ed, we’re some­times told, were it not for the record­ings of Robert John­son. Cer­tain­ly the likes of Kei­th Richards, Eric Clap­ton, Robert Plant, and Bob Dylan have nev­er hes­i­tat­ed to acknowl­edge his influ­ence. “From the first note the vibra­tions from the loud­speak­er made my hair stand up,” Dylan writes in his auto­bi­og­ra­phy of his first encounter with John­son’s music. “The stab­bing sounds from the gui­tar could almost break a win­dow. When John­son start­ed singing, he seemed like a guy who could have sprung from the head of Zeus in full armor. I imme­di­ate­ly dif­fer­en­ti­at­ed between him and any­one else I had ever heard.” Not bad for a record­ing old­er than Dylan him­self. In the ear­ly nine­teen-six­ties, the blues as John­son played it seems to have sound­ed elec­tri­fy­ing­ly rev­e­la­to­ry to the gen­er­a­tion of then-young musi­cians who man­aged to hear it, regard­less of their own ori­gins. All such record­ings date from 1936 or 1937, the fruits of just two ses­sions in makeshift Texas stu­dios over­seen by pro­duc­er …

Delta Goodrem aims to channel Celine Dion and Olivia Newton-John for Eurovision glory

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Australian music sensation Delta Goodrem is poised to make a significant impact at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, not only as a multi-million-selling artist but also through her remarkable connections to two of the competition’s most iconic figures: Celine Dion and Olivia Newton-John. With over nine million albums sold and chart-topping success in eight countries, Goodrem arrives in Vienna representing her home nation, Australia, which has been a surprising but welcome participant in the world’s largest live music event since 2015, despite its geographical distance from Europe. Her ties to Eurovision run deep. In the 1990s, the former Neighbours star penned “Eyes on Me” for Celine Dion, who famously secured victory for Switzerland in 1988. Goodrem also benefited from the mentorship of the late Olivia Newton-John, a global superstar who represented the United Kingdom in the 1974 contest. Reflecting on these …
