Is Delta Air Lines Beginning the 'Enshitification' of International Business Class with New Basic Fares? (www.paddleyourownkanoo.com)

Delta Air Lines is rolling out what feels like ‘enshitification’ of international Business Class with a new basic fare option that strips away premium check-in and lounge access, slashes the luggage allowance, reduces the amount of miles you’ll earn, and prevents you from selecting a seat until check-in.

The term “enshitification” has become a popular way of describing products or services that gradually lose value as companies introduce extra fees, restrictions, or lower-tier options while encouraging customers to pay more for the experience they previously received.

I find that sort of social status engineering (for want of a better phrase) cringe-inducing at best.

I'm amazed that it works, that some people are that shallow. It must be another indicator of how stupid humans are as a whole.

We're agreed that getting on late is a much nicer experience, lol
