Delta Air Lines has launched a new rewards program specifically for frequent business fliers, called Delta Business Traveler.
The new program adds more value to a SkyMiles membership, like a free trial and exclusive pass to use premium workspaces with Industrious, additional miles per dollar earned with Delta Stays and car rentals, complimentary Hertz Five Star status for six months and special offers from Delta Vacations.
The airline has been revamping its premium offerings. This fall, it’ll re-start offering its Delta Premium Select seat category on flights between New York and Los Angeles. Delta Premium Select offers more legroom, free Wi-Fi through T-Mobile and an enhanced dining experience.
Additionally, the airline is beginning its rollout of fast, free Wi-Fi through T-Mobile on its international service, so international business travelers can continue their work even while thousands of feet in the sky.
“Business travelers of all kinds have come to depend on Delta for not only our service and reliability, but also for the in-flight experience and award-winning service. Now they can unlock even more value when they’re traveling for business, leisure or the perfect combination of both,” said Benjamin van der Horst, General Manager, Loyalty Partnerships and SMB Strategy, at Delta.
“If you’ve ever traveled for business, Delta Business Traveler is for you," van der Horst continued.
