Delta Air Lines offers holiday shoppers an alternative to crowded parking
lots and long lines at the mall. Through Delta`s SkyMiles(R) program,
miles can be purchased online at delta.com/buymiles for friends and family

account for award travel,” said Christine Pierce, Delta`s director of
Partnership Marketing. “The holidays can be a stressful time, but with the
convenience of online purchase, miles are the perfect gift for everyone—
even the person who has everything.”

their next travel award or jump start a new SkyMiles account. Anyone can
purchase or receive miles; however, the recipient must enroll in the
SkyMiles program before collecting miles. Miles can be purchased in
