On April 30. 2015, I attended the Freddie Awards, the gala award ceremony for the airline frequent flyer and hotel loyalty programs.  This was my fourth Freddies – having previously attended the Freddie Awards in Seattle, Washington (2014),  McLean, Virginia (2013) and Newark, New Jersey (2012).   This year’s event was held at the Delta Flight Museum, in Atlanta, Georgia, and what a special venue that was!

It’s always wonderful to see friends, old and new, and meet so many travel industry professionals.  Here are some photos from the evening:
