{{Main|SkyMiles}}
SkyMiles is the [[frequent flyer program]] for Delta Air Lines. Miles do not expire but accounts may be deactivated by Delta in certain cases, such as the death of a program member or fraudulent activity.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/skymiles/program-resources/program-rules.html | title=Membership Guide & Program Rules | publisher=Delta Air Lines | access-date=February 6, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190206011531/https://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/skymiles/program-resources/program-rules.html | archive-date=February 6, 2019 | url-status=live}}</ref>

As part of its efforts to improve customer experience, Delta introduced several service upgrades in 2025. These included free Wi-Fi access for SkyMiles members on most domestic flights, expanded Delta Sky Club lounge facilities, and new premium dining options featuring branded offerings such as Shake Shack.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Derby |first=Kevin |date=2025-04-10 |title=Delta Reports Q1 2025 Results, Adds 9 New Aircraft and More |url=https://aviationa2z.com/index.php/2025/04/10/delta-reports-q1-2025-results-adds-9-new-aircraft-and-more/ |access-date=2025-04-11 |website=Aviation A2Z |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-01-07 |title=Delta soars into Centennial year with game-changing innovations at CES 2025 {{!}} Delta News Hub |url=https://news.delta.com/delta-soars-centennial-year-game-changing-innovations-ces-2025 |access-date=2025-04-11 |website=news.delta.com |language=en}}</ref>

===Delta Sky Club===

Delta Sky Club is the branding name of Delta's airport lounges. Membership is available through an annual membership that can be purchased with either money or miles. International passengers travelling in Delta One class get free access. Membership can also be granted through top-level Delta status or by being an American Express cardholder with certain exceptions. As of January 2019, Delta no longer offered single-day passes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Purchase Membership : Delta Sky Club : Delta Air Lines |url=https://www.delta.com/skyclub/purchasemembership_performRequest.action |access-date=October 23, 2023 |publisher=Delta Air Lines}}</ref>

Originally, Delta's membership-based airport clubs were called Crown Room lounges, with Northwest's called WorldClubs.

Exclusive Delta One Clubs for customers travelling in business class are slated to open at [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|New York–Kennedy]], [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], and [[Logan International Airport|Boston]] in 2024.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://news.delta.com/coming-soon-whats-ahead-delta-sky-clubs|title=Coming soon: What's ahead for Delta Sky Clubs|access-date=May 4, 2022|publisher=Delta Air Lines|location=Atlanta|archive-date=May 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220504141830/https://news.delta.com/coming-soon-whats-ahead-delta-sky-clubs|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=https://news.delta.com/look-ahead-delta-debut-premium-lounges-and-more-2024|title=A look ahead: Delta to debut premium lounges and more in 2024|date=February 8, 2024|publisher=Delta Air Lines|location=Atlanta|access-date=May 8, 2023}}</ref>

In February 2024, Delta announced a new, more exclusive or premium level of Sky Club lounge aimed at high-spending travellers. The first would be at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, followed by those in Boston's Logan International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport later in the year. In addition to wellness areas, the lounge would offer a full-service [[brasserie]] and a marketplace influenced or assisted by a chef that would feature an open kitchen. The move represented a shift away from a standard offering to something closer to a unique experience for each airport and the city in which the lounge was located.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Josephs |first=Leslie |date=February 8, 2024 |title=Delta to open a new tier of 'premium' airport lounges this year in high-end travel push |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/08/delta-to-open-new-tier-of-premium-airport-lounges-this-year.html |access-date=February 11, 2024 |website=CNBC |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=February 8, 2024 |title=Delta Is Launching a Premium Tier of Lounges This Year |url=https://www.cntraveler.com/story/delta-new-premium-airport-lounges |access-date=February 11, 2024 |website=Condé Nast Traveler |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Delta Announces Plans for 'Premium' Lounges, Offering a New Alternative to Sky Clubs |url=https://www.travelandleisure.com/delta-announces-new-premium-lounges-8572286 |access-date=February 11, 2024 |website=Travel + Leisure |language=en}}</ref>
