In its quest to ensure maximum customer satisfaction and to beat competition in the airline industry, Delta Airlines, one of the world’s favorite airline, has teamed up with its favourite flash sale site, Gilt.com.
The move is intended to create the platform for players on the airline to earn more bonus miles.
Normally, bonus miles are earned by the number of travel times on airlines but this trend is changing because of the competition in the business.
A message posted in the mails of customers of the airline read “Earn 1,500 bonus miles and 1 mile per dollar spent with designer deals from Gilt.com
“Just in time for the new year, we have which features today's top designers for women, men, kids, home and more at up to 60 per cent off”, the message added.
“Join now for free and earn the following perks: Earn 1,500 bonus miles for your first purchase of $50 or more; Earn 1 mile per dollar spent; Get exclusive members-only access to local deals at your city's best restaurants, spas and concerts with GiltCity.com”, it added.
Delta in Ghana
Delta Airlines is the only airline in the country that flies direct non-stop to New York.
This was after Ghana Airways collapsed after losing its License A certificate which enables it to fly passenger direct to New York and Atlanta.
Although United Airlines join the competition with an alternative to Baltimore, it stopped operations a couple of years ago, citing reasons including the high cost of aviation fuel among others.
Since then, Delta has operated a monopoly but offering what many passengers describe as value for money services.
The airline recently introduced new aircrafts on its Accra/New York route to offer passengers improved comfort to enable them to enjoy the long flight without hassle.

Meet the founders
In spring 2007, Kevin Ryan recognised a market opportunity to start online flash sales in the United States and introduce consumers to a new, exciting ecommerce experience.
He set out to build a core founding team, and brought on Mike Bryzek and Phong Nguyen as the technical masterminds. From the start, they worked to create the fastest and most exciting shopping experience online.
They strove to ensure that all customers who shopped on Gilt received unparalleled customer service from the moment they entered the virtual doors.
Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, longtime friends and devoted New York City designer sample sale shoppers, were next to join the team, bringing their personal passions for online shopping to the group.
Alexis, with a background in eCommerce at eBay and AOL, and Alexandra, with a background in luxury goods from Bulgari and Louis Vuitton, set out to build the rest of the Gilt team.
They got the word out to savvy shoppers across the country, and set their sights on the best designer brands and services to be featured on Gilt.com.
Together, this founding team of five created a new way for millions of consumers to shop curated styles, goods and services, all at insider pricing.
