发帖数: 4431 | 1 For several years, Delta coexisted more than peacefully with Alaska Airlines
in Seattle, which is both hub and headquarters for Alaska. In fact, the two
airlines were close marketing partners, linked by code-share flights and
reciprocal frequent flyer program participation.
Although the code-share and loyalty-program links remain in place, for now,
the relationship between the two airlines has turned nastily adversarial.
The tensions began with Delta’s loading up on new service to and from
Seattle, and tipped into battle mode in October when Delta launched a double
-mile promotion for flights between Seattle and Los Angeles, San Francisco,
and Las Vegas.
Alaska responded with a more robust offer, including more routes to and from
Seattle, and adding elite-qualifying miles to the bonus mix.
Delta countered by adding elite miles to its promotion, and expanding the
offer to even more routes.
At that point, Alaska went on the offensive, announcing that it would be
adding flights at a key Delta hub, Salt Lake City, and offering double award
and elite miles on the routes. Alaska followed up by announcing yet more
Salt Lake City flights and including them in the double-mile promotion.
The ante was upped again today with Delta’s announcement that all Seattle
non-stops will earn both double award miles and double elite-qualifying
miles through the end of this year.
Offer Details
Through December 31, 2014, eligible SkyMiles members can earn double award
miles and double elite-qualifying miles for every Delta non-stop flight to
or from Seattle.
To earn the bonus miles, traveler must have a Washington state address on
file in his SkyMiles account.
Registration is required.
Deal or No Deal
Double award and elite miles, for all non-stop flights, through the end of
the year. That makes for a pretty compelling promotion. Eligible SkyMiles
members should register immediately if there’s even a remote chance they’
ll be flying through Seattle this year.
But no one should assume that Delta’s offer will remain the most generous
available. Given the to-and-fro to date, it’s a safe bet that Alaska will
respond with a counter-offer that matches Delta’s, and possibly surpasses
it (hint: by removing the restriction to Washington residents).
The free market at its best: When two carriers compete, consumers earn more
miles. | u*******m
