Delta offers many sweetheart deals for Valentine's Day

Just in time for Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day weekend getaways, Delta Air Lines introduces weekly Web fares, deeply discounted fares on tickets purchased via its Web site, SkyLinks, www.delta-air.com, for travel that same weekend.

Beginning today, Delta will post special fares every Wednesday for round-trip travel that weekend to and from a variety of U.S. destinations. Customers can book travel on-line to these destinations with deeply discounted prices. Passengers using the Web fares may depart each Saturday and return the following Monday or Tuesday.

"Those who haven't already made plans for Presidents' Day or Valentine's Day weekend can take advantage of these great discounts on-line. Ten, customers can take a look at these special fares every week and plan weekend getaways throughout the year," said Patrice Miles, director of distribution planning.

Additionally, Delta customers soon will be able to register on Delta's web site to receive automatic e-mail notification of the special fares available each week from their area. Customers may even specify that they would like to receive e-mail notification only when specific destinations are featured for travel that week.

After purchasing on-line, Delta Web fares participants will travel with electronic tickets. When arriving at the airport for departure, they need only present their valid identification to check in and receive their boarding passes.

In addition to enjoying the sale fare savings, DeltaSkyMiles members earn up to 1,000 bonus SkyMiles for ticketing online.

"Programs like Web fares are part of our efforts to continually update and enhance SkyLinks to provide values and convenience to our customers," Miles said.
