Delta Air Lines Spreads July 4th Spirit
Delta Air Lines is celebrating America’s
Independence Day by giving away thousands of discount coupons, free
tickets, SkyMiles bonus miles, and more throughout its hometown.
Delta will distribute 80,000 e-coupons to thank Delta customers and the
community for their business and support. The coupons are redeemable at
delta.com for a one-time 15 percent discount off its published fares. The
discount is valid for up to six customers booked on the same itinerary.
Delta volunteers will distribute the coupons at the following holiday
festivities:
- Marietta on July 3;
- Peachtree Road Race sites near Office Max and Three Dollar Cafe in
Buckhead and Colony Square and Nickiemoto’s restaurant in Midtown on
July 4;
- the Atlanta Braves game on July 4;
- and Roswell and Alpharetta on July 4.
“We’re proud to celebrate July 4th in our hometown, where we have served
customers for nearly 75 years,” said Paul Matsen, Delta’s senior vice
president and Chief Marketing Officer. “This patriotic holiday gives our
32,000 Delta people who call Atlanta home a chance to get out into their
communities and thank their friends and neighbors for supporting our
company.”

- The Peachtree Road Race where as the race’s Silver Sponsor Delta will
be on-hand to distribute flags; special signs where race watchers can
