Delta creates a class higher than first class

Last year, Delta Air Lines unveiled a unique experiment in upgrades. It gave its very frequent flyers a chance to book a seat most can only dream of—on a private jet. For a few hundred dollars more, the dream could become reality. The carrier later backed away from the offer and is now transforming it into the ultimate frequent flier point spend. Delta briefly offered US$300-$800 paid upgrades to private jets last summer, a viable option when a customer’s travel plans aligned with the smaller aircraft’s journey. The trouble with making this work was logistics. Now Delta has a new twist on how to move passengers to its private jet subsidiary: Get time on private jets by cashing in miles. Delta said the program will include all of the roughly 5,000 airports at which DPJ now flies. <br/>
