Delta SkyMiles Members Speed Through

ATLANTA, Feb. 13, 2003 - Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) is now offering its SkyMiles® members an even greater incentive to quickly check in at any of the more than 400 kiosks currently offered in 81 U.S. airports.

Between Feb. 15 and May 15, SkyMiles members will receive a one-time bonus of 500 miles the first time they use a self-service kiosk to check in for their flight. And, for each additional kiosk check-in after that, a bonus of 100 miles will be awarded, up to a maximum of five additional bonuses during the promotional period. SkyMiles members can earn a total maximum bonus of 1,000 miles.

“We are excited about this new SkyMiles offer because it will help us introduce even more customers to the speed and convenience of using self-service kiosks,” said Rich Cordell, senior vice president, Airport Customer Service.

Customers traveling on a Delta e-ticket for a domestic flight can use Delta`s self-service kiosks to check-in, get their boarding pass for originating and connecting flights, check baggage, request to stand by for upgrades, change seat assignments and more.


SkyMiles customers who are not checking baggage can enjoy the speed and convenience of Online Check-In at delta.com. Customers can check in online and print their boarding pass anytime between six hours and 30 minutes prior to flight departure from their home or office. As customers plan their trip, they can also visit delta.com to obtain real-time flight information and check estimated airport wait times at more than 115 airports nationwide.
