ATLANTA – Delta Air Lines will begin offering a new travel option for SkyMiles customers which provides access to some of the airline’s most popular enhanced travel extras such as checked bags, priority boarding and seat selection. The new package, called Smart Travel Pack, introduces a practical and affordable way for customers to add a suite of extra services and additional comfort for their upcoming business or personal travel.
“We’ve made it simple for customers to add the most popular travel extras that give them added comfort and convenience,” said Tim Mapes, Delta’s senior vice president – Marketing. “Our new Smart Travel Pack is a great way for SkyMiles members and their companions to enjoy the additional services while making the most of their budgets.”
