Delta Vacations and SkyMiles Program

ATLANTA, Aug. 19, 2002—Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) has extended an offer allowing SkyMiles members to earn 3,000 miles for every Delta Vacations package purchased. Members also can save up to $300 with Delta Vacations when redeeming miles toward the purchase of a vacation package of three nights or more. Travel for both promotions must be completed by Sept. 30, 2002.


Delta Vacations offers leisure packages, including air transportation, hotel accommodations, ground transportation and more, to more than 120 exciting destinations worldwide including Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, Las Vegas, Europe and the Caribbean.


“The ability to redeem 15,000 miles for a $300 savings is a new element that has not been available in earlier promotions and enables our members to save money on complete vacation packages to Europe and Hawaii, two of our most popular leisure destinations,” said Rob Borden, Delta’s general manager of SkyMiles Customer Loyalty Programs. “The extension of this promotion through September is ideal for SkyMiles members looking to enjoy a late summer or early fall vacation.”
