Delta Tests Innovative One-class Product

PRNewswire-FirstCall ATLANTA Nov. 10 :

Delta Air Lines will be testing an innovative one-class service on
selected flights between Atlanta and Houston and between Atlanta and
Kansas City from November 11, 2003 to January 31, 2004. SkyMiles members
who fly on test flights during this period may earn up to 2,000 bonus
miles.
The tests will be conducted on 12 flights between Atlanta and Houston
Hobby Airport and 16 flights between Atlanta and Kansas City. The service
enhancements are designed to provide extra comfort and convenience for
business travelers.

“Business travelers spend a great deal of their time in the airport and on
airplanes,” said Patrice Miles, vice president of Consumer Marketing. “Our
goal is to create a differentiated travel experience during the time they
spend with Delta by providing them with small but important and convenient
amenities.”

At the boarding gate in Houston and Kansas City, passengers traveling on
morning flights will receive complimentary Java City coffee and USA Today
newspapers. Customers onboard all test flights will receive a wider
selection of branded snacks including mini-Toblerone(R) chocolate bars,
Cape Cod(R) pretzels and Goldfish(R) snack crackers. In-flight
entertainment has also been expanded to include highly-rated television
shows like Law & Order, West Wing, Jag, Monk and Trading Spaces.
Additionally, between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time, passengers
onboard will receive one complimentary cocktail, beer or wine.

Flying the one-class 737-800 on these routes makes Delta the only carrier
to offer an entire aircraft with a 36-inch seat pitch in these markets.
The aircraft also offers customers a comfortable cabin interior with
all-leather seats, expanded legroom and Empower(R) outlets at every seat.
