Delta Eliminates In-flight Entertainment Fee

PRNewswire-FirstCall ATLANTA Oct. 22 :

Delta Air Lines today announced it will provide complimentary audio and
video entertainment in all cabins beginning Nov. 1, 2003. The change will
eliminate the $5 in-flight entertainment fee in economy class. Customers
may enjoy onboard audio and video entertainment by bringing their own
headsets or purchasing headsets in- flight for $2.

“Delta is committed to enhancing our customers` travel experiences,” said
Patrice Miles, vice president of Consumer Marketing. “Delta is pleased to
offer award-winning in-flight entertainment to our customers at no cost.”

Customers who purchase headsets may keep them for use on future flights
and with personal audio devices. The headsets fit comfortably around the
ears instead of over the head and include a two-prong adapter for use on
Delta flights. The adapter can be removed for use with any standard
single-prong portable music player.
