Uyihlangula njani i-Delta SkyMiles

Njengokuba iDelta itshintshile ifomula yomvuzo kwimodeli esekwe kwingeniso apho iimpapasho ziqokelela isixa seSkyMiles ngedola nganye esetyenziswe kwindiza yomoya, inqwelo moya iyatshintsha inkqubo yayo yokuhlawulela iye kwenye apho iiSkyMiles zixabisa ixabiso elisetiweyo. Oku kuyafana nendlela yoMzantsi-ntshona kunye neJetBlue ezenza izinto, kodwa oko kuthetha ukwehla okuninzi kweeflayithi.

Okokuqala, i-airline iyekile ukupapasha iitshathi zamabhaso ngamaxabiso abekiweyo eenqwelomoya ngaphakathi naphakathi kwemimandla ethile. Oko kuthetha ukuba ngekhe wazi ukuba zingaphi iimayile ekufuneka uzikhulule kuhambo oluthile ude ulufune Delta kunye neapos; s iwebhusayithi . Kwangelo xesha, iDelta inyuse amaxabiso amabhaso ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwaye ngaphandle kwesilumkiso kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ekhokelele ekutshintsheni okuthile kumaxabiso e-mileage.

Umzekelo, itikiti lokuwongwa lisuka e-US lisiya eYurophu kudidi lweshishini eDelta kunye namaqabane alo babedla ngokuxabisa i-100,000 SkyMiles ukuya nokubuya. Namhlanje, uhambo oluthelekisekayo luxabisa ama-210,000 ukuya kuma-465,000 eSkyMiles.

Kwiphepha le-flip, utshintsho kwimodeli esekwe kwixabiso kubonakala ngathi izise amaxabiso amabhaso phantsi kwezinye iimeko-ngokukodwa kwiindleko zoqoqosho ezingabizi kakhulu, zombini kuthungelwano lwendlela yasekhaya yaseDelta nakwezinye iindlela zohambo.

Umzekelo, ngoJulayi, iDelta yathumela imicimbi yokubhabha ngeebhaso eziphantsi ukuya kuma-20 000 ukuya kuma-30,000 e-SkyMiles ukuya nokubuya kuqoqosho oluvela kwizixeko ezahlukahlukeneyo zase-US, kubandakanya iNew York, iBoston, iLos Angeles, kunye neSeattle, kwiindawo ezininzi zaseYurophu, ezinjengeAmsterdam, iMadrid , EParis, eRoma, naseZurich. Ixabiso eliphantsi kunamanye amaxabiso amabhaso asekhaya aphume.

Okwangoku, kuya kufuneka ukhangele kwiwebhusayithi yeDelta kunye neeapos ukuze ubone ukuba yimalini indleko zokubhabha ibhaso. Ngethamsanqa, inqwelomoya iyiphucule kakhulu injini yokukhangela, ukuze ukwazi ukukhangela amabhaso ngeklasini yekhabini, ngokungayeki xa kuthelekiswa nohambo lokudibanisa, kwiinqwelomoya zeDelta kunye nezo zithwala amaqabane, kwaye kwisithuba seeveki ezintlanu ixesha. Zonke ezo zinto zinokukunceda ngokukhawuleza unciphise ukukhangela kwakho kwezona ntengiso zihle kakhulu.

Ngokubanzi, ezona ntlawulelo zibalaseleyo zeSkyMiles ziya kuba zeetikiti zoqoqosho, okanye kwiinqwelomoya zomlingane apho amaxabiso amabhaso eDelta engatshintshanga kangako njengeenqwelomoya.

Ngaphandle kwamatikiti, i-Delta SkyMiles inokuhlawulelwa ukuphuculwa kwesihlalo, ukuthenga okanye ukuvuselela ubulungu beSky Club (kunye neziselo zepremiyamu kwii-lounges), okanye ezahlukeneyo amakhadi ezipho , ukuqesha imoto, ukubhukisha ihotele , imirhumo yamaphephancwadi, amava njengamakhonsathi kunye nezidlo sangokuhlwa ezikhokelwa ngabapheki, urhwebo ezinje ngeeBeats by Dre iihedfoni kunye neemveliso zeApple, kunye Iminikelo yesisa . Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lwezi zinto zihlala zivelisa ixabiso eliphantsi kwiimayile zakho, ke zithintele xa kunokwenzeka.

Nazi iziseko zesimo seMedallion, kubandakanya indlela oyifumana ngayo kunye nento onokuyilindela.

Inkqubo yeSkyMiles yahlulwe yangamanqanaba amane enqanaba elite. Ukuze ufikelele nakweyiphi na kuzo, kuya kufuneka ubethe inqwelomoya ethile kunye nokuchitha umda ngaphakathi konyaka wekhalenda. Ukuba uyakwenza oko, ungonwabela izibonelelo ezikhethiweyo kwinxalenye eseleyo yonyaka apho ufumene iwonga, kunye nonyaka olandelayo, de kube abantu abaphezulu be-1.

Iimfuno zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya zisekwe kwinani leenxalenye zeenqwelomoya okanye imigama oyihambayo kunye nokuba uthenga amatikiti oqoqosho okanye izihlalo kumacandelo e-premium. Amalungu kufuneka abethe amanqanaba athile enkcitho ukufikelela kwinqanaba ngalinye elilandelayo leMedallion. Ukufumana ii-MQM kunye neeDola zeMigangatho yokuQinisekiswa kweMallallion (MQDs) zinokuguquguquka ziye ngokugqithileyo, kuxhomekeke ekubeni ubhabha iDelta okanye amaqabane ayo, nawo. Unoko engqondweni, masithintele incoko yethu ukuba ungayifumana njani imeko ngokusekwe kwi-Delta ebhabha ikakhulu.

Uqoqosho kunye nokuthuthuzela + amatikiti afumana i-MQM enye kwimayile nganye. Uqoqosho olupheleleyo lwexabiso lokuhamba, i-Premium Select (uqoqosho lwepremiyamu yamanye amazwe), kunye nesaphulelo sokuqala kunye nesigaba seshishini sokufumana i-MQM enye enesiqingatha kwimayile nganye ehambayo. Amatikiti okuqala apheleleyo kunye neeklasi zeshishini afumana ii-MQM ezimbini kwimayile nganye.

Inqanaba lesilivere iMedallion lifunyanwa ngokubhabha ama-MQM angama-25,000 okanye amaQela amaQinisekiso eMallallion angama-30 (MQSs) kunye nokufumana i $ 3,000 kwii-MQDs (ngokusisiseko zichitha imali eninzi kubuchwephesha bomoya) kunyaka wekhalenda. Izibonelelo kweli nqanaba zibandakanya ukufumana i-SkyMiles ezisixhenxe ngedola nganye kwindiza yomoya (endaweni yamalungu amahlanu eedola angamalungu angafumananga), ukuphuculwa okuncomekayo kunye nokuthuthuzelwa kwezihlalo ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezingama-24, ukufikelela kwizabelo zokuhlala ezikhethiweyo, ukubekwa kwindawo ephambili, kunye nokuhlolwa simahla. iingxowa.

Ukongeza kwezi zibonelelo, amalungu eGold Medallion afumana iimayile ezisibhozo ngedola, abenompu wokuhlaziya kunye nezihlalo zeComfort + ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezingama-72 ngaphambi kweenqwelo-moya, kwaye onwabele imirhumo yotshintsho yosuku olunye. Ukubetha eli nqanaba, kuya kufuneka ubhabhe ii-MQM ezingama-50,000 okanye ii-MQS ezingama-60 kwaye uchithe ii-MQDs ezingama-6,000 zeedola.

Inqanaba elilandelayo, iPlatinamu Medallion, ifikelelwa kwii-MQM ezingama-75,000 okanye ii-MQS ezingama-90 kunye nee-MQD ezingama-9,000.

Kule nqanaba, ukhetho lwakho lwezibonelelo lubandakanya ubulungu beDelta SkyClub, izatifikethi zokuphucula umhlaba okanye zengingqi, isikhundla seGold Medallion somnye umntu, okanye i-25,000 yeebhonasi zeekhilomitha. Uya kuba neyona nto iphambili ekuphuculweni, ube phakathi kwabokuqala ukukhwela, kwaye ulungele ubulungu obucacileyo beCLEAR, phakathi kwezinye izinto.

Abantu abachitha i- $ 25,000 okanye nangaphezulu ngonyaka wekhalenda kunye neDelta SkyMiles Platinum, iPlatinam yoShishino, iNdawo yokuGcina, okanye ikhadi loShishino lokuGcina banokuzirhoxisa iimfuno ze-MQD zabo bonke ngaphandle kwenqanaba leDiamond. Kwelo nqanaba liphezulu, kuya kufuneka uchithe i-250,000 yeedola kwikhadi lakho letyala endaweni yoko. Kananjalo khumbula ukuba iPlatinam yobuqu kunye namakhadi oGcino-mali abonisa ithuba lokufumana ii-MQM ezongezelelweyo ngokuchitha nje, ukuze oko kube yindlela elungileyo yokunyusa umvuzo wakho wemfundo ngaxeshanye.

Inqaku elinye lokuma kwenkqubo yesimo seMedallion kukuba iDelta iyakukuvumela ukuba uqengqele ngaphezulu kwazo zonke iimayile ngaphezulu nangaphaya kwenqanaba lokugqibela elalikulungeleyo kulo nyaka ukuyo kwimisebenzi yakho yonyaka olandelayo. Ke, ukuba ubhabhe ii-MQM ezingama-40,000 kwaye wachitha ii-MQDs ezingama- $ 3,000, ubuya kufumana isiqinisekiso seSilver Medallion kuphela.

Olunye uhlangothi olwahlukileyo kukuba i-Delta izakuvumela ukuba ubambe isikhundla sakho esiphakamileyo emva kotshintsho kubomi obunje ngokuba ngumzali, ukugcina ukwenzakala, ukutshintsha imisebenzi, kunye nokuchacha kwisifo esibi, phakathi kwezinye iimeko. Ukufumana kwakhona inqanaba lakho, kuya kufuneka ngenisa isicelo . Ukuba uvunyiwe, ungonwabela imeko yakho ehlaziyiweyo iinyanga ezintathu apho kuya kufuneka ugcwalise iimfuno ezithile zenqwelomoya ukuze ugcine loo meko idlulileyo kwixesha lokubuyisa.

Iinkonzo kunye neengozi zeDelta SkyMiles

Zininzi izizathu zokujoyina i-Delta SkyMiles. Ikhululekile kwaye kulula ukuyenza, ifomula yokufumana iimayile ilula, kwaye ii-airline zinamakhadi amaninzi amakhulu okuthenga ngetyala ngokubambisana neAmerican Express.

Abo banomdla wokufumana isikhundla seMedallion kufuneka bakwazi ukusebenzisa ithuba lokuqengqeleka, ngelixa ezinye iimpapasho ezihamba ngamanye amaxesha kufanele ukuba ziyayixabisa into yokuba iiSkyMiles zingaphelelwa lixesha.

Ngokumalunga nokungahambi kakuhle, eyona nto iphambili kukuba umvuzo kwi-Delta ngoku usekwe ngokuthe ngqo kwixabiso lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kunokuba umgama obalekayo, ngenxa yoko awunakuthembela ekurhwebesheni itoni yeemayile kwiinqwelomoya ezingabizi kakhulu. Ukuphoxeka ngokulinganayo, inkqubo yeenqwelo moya yokuvula izihlalo zebhaso kubonakala ngathi ishukuma ngokukhawuleza isiya kwifomula apho iSkyMile nganye inexabiso ngqo. Oku kuthetha ukuba amalungu anokulindela ukuba aqokelele amashumi amawaka eekhilomitha ngaphezulu kwizitulo zebhaso lexabiso eliphantsi. Oko kuthethiweyo, ubuncinci kuhlawulelo loqoqosho kufuneka lube ngamaxabiso aphantsi.
