As of October 1, 2009, the Northwest Airlines WorldPerks® program has officially merged into the Delta SkyMiles® program.  If you previously linked your WorldPerks and SkyMiles accounts, your accounts are in the process of being consolidated – and should be completed by October 4, 2009.  You will be advised via email when your account consolidation is completed.

If you did not have a SkyMiles account or had not previously linked your WorldPerks and SkyMiles accounts, you will be assigned a 10-digit SkyMiles number that will replace your WorldPerks number.  This new number will be communicated to you via email in early October.

It is very important you communicate your new Delta SkyMiles number to Travel One so we can update your profile and ensure you earn frequent flyer mileage credits for all Delta and Northwest flights.  Further, Travel One strongly recommends travelers make sure the name on their SkyMiles account matches exactly the name on their government issued ID.

Here is what you can expect regarding the loyalty integration:

• SkyMiles is now the sole loyalty program for both Delta and Northwest even though the two airlines will continue to operate separately until the merger is fully completed in early 2010.
• All WorldPerks elite qualification miles, redeemable miles, Elite, and Million Air Status are transferred into the member’s SkyMiles account.
• For all existing reservations that include your previous WorldPerks number, you DO NOT have to do anything – you will receive mileage credit
• Your WorldPerks PIN can be used to access your SkyMiles account information
• If you did not link your former WorldPerks account to your existing SkyMiles account and now have multiple SkyMiles accounts, you can now request to merge your duplicate SkyMiles accounts online

If you have any questions regarding the merger of Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines, please contact Travel One.
