Delta Air Lines Just Did a Rebrand and Snuck In a Way to Upsell Its Most Loyal Customers

  • Delta Air Lines rebranded its fare structure on Thursday, replacing basic economy with a three-tier Delta Main Basic system for flights from the US and Canada starting October 1.
  • The change comes after Delta and its rivals introduced lower-tier economy options about a decade ago to challenge budget airlines, but recent trends indicate stronger interest in higher-priced seating.
  • The new classification includes 11 total fare options across four categories, with tiers differing by mileage accrual, boarding priority, and ticket flexibility.
  • Delta’s SVP Eric Phillips stated the update offers customers 'more choice and greater clarity' with a reimagined shopping experience highlighting all Delta travel benefits.
  • This restructuring aims to let customers tailor their travel and upsell upgrades, suggesting Delta prioritizes premium tickets while passengers can select options matching their preferences and budget.
