Understanding the Context

In 1981, Delta launched a frequent-flyer program. In 1987, it acquired Western Airlines, and that same year Delta began trans-Pacific service (Atlanta to Portland, Oregon, to Tokyo). In 1990, Delta was the first airline in the United States to fly McDonnell Douglas MD-11 jets. Whether you’re trying to decide if Delta One is worth the splurge or just want to know how to avoid baggage fees, this is your no-nonsense guide to flying Delta.
