Where should I fly today? 

I've gotten used to that inquisitive look by the customs agent. "Why were you in <insert foreign country name here> for only 2 days?" My answer is always the same - "I work for Delta!" Here is a typical story. It's 2 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon. I pull up the Delta web application and check my flight to Barcelona. There are empty seats, so I drive to the airport. Approximately 20 minutes before departure, the gate agent calls my name and hands me a ticket with my seat assignment. My heart leaps when I see that it's in the Business Elite class. A few hours later, I'm finishing the desert from my 5-course meal and watching a movie on my personal in-flight-entertainment system. As I look around, surrounded by businessmen, I realize how lucky I am to be in this position as a student. For travel junkies like myself, this is an unbeatable job. I cannot think of any other company that would be able to make the world as accessible to me as Delta has made it. This is especially important now, as globalization is becoming such a key topic. The benefits don't end there. My parents fly for free, I get a travel companion who flies very cheaply, and I receive 8 buddy passes a year to give out as I please. It's hard to believe that it's possible for a co-op to receive such incredible benefits. Passport - $97. Roundtrip ticket to Barcelona - $40. Being able to fly to 332 destinations in 57 countries on a whim - Priceless!
