Travelers flying with Delta Air Lines have something to look forward to on their next flight. Delta has announced Delta Sync, a new feature on flights that brings entertainment experiences to individuals. In addition to the upcoming Delta SkyMiles for Business changes expected in a few months, here are some things to look for on your next Delta journey.
Delta Sync’s Features And Experiences
SkyMiles members can start enjoying several features on most domestic Delta-operated flights, with additional features to be added over the next couple of years. If you aren’t a SkyMiles member, you can join for free here. SkyMiles Members not only earn miles on their travel, but they can also access exclusive offers, including a discount on CLEAR® membership and more.
With Delta Sync, Delta hopes to provide a better boarding experience, fast and free WiFi on domestic flights and individualized trip preferences. Additionally, SkyMiles Members will eventually be able to enjoy a customized seatback screen experience.
For starters, SkyMiles Members can enjoy up to 24 hours of continuous access to Paramount+, which is available on most domestic flights. Members can also enjoy a free trial of Paramount+ when they travel on select flights originating in the U.S.
For those who enjoy playing games, Delta is giving SkyMiles Members complimentary access to New York Times Games. While games are free to play, note that some extra features require a paid subscription to The New York Times' digital properties.
SkyMiles Members may also access Resy, an online restaurant reservation service. Members can book a table at a top restaurant or get access to exclusive events held by chefs.
Also, depending on the destination, Members can access travel content from Atlas Obscura. Travelers can access tips from locals and other travelers who can recommend destinations that are off-the-beaten-track.
Delta Sync also allows Members to earn more miles with major brands like T-Mobile and American Express.
Summary
This unique entertainment addition can make your next trip a little less stressful and a lot more fun. Delta is one of the top U.S. airlines that serves travelers domestically and globally. Hopefully, the airline will continue to add customized features for short and longer-haul flights.
