Lyft and Delta Expand Partnership to Provide Smoother Experience for Travelers with In-App Flight Status and Additional Reminders

Dec 15, 2021

Over the past four years, Delta customers and Lyft riders have earned over two billion miles through our partnership by simply doing something in their everyday routine—requesting a ride with Lyft. But earning miles was just the beginning. 

With an enhanced set of features launching today, we’re making strides to improve the entire day-of travel experience. Lyft riders with a linked Delta SkyMiles account will begin receiving additional traveler reminders and in-ride flight status updates to ensure they have all the information they need to plan a timely trip to the airport. 

“Travelers are keen to get to their destinations as planned, and these new in-app features we’re implementing through our expanded partnership with Delta will help make the journey even better,” said Zach Greenberger, Head of Strategic Business Development and Global Supply Management at Lyft. “Delta and Lyft share a commitment to making the hospitality experience the priority, and our partnership is making the day-of travel experience even smoother for travelers.”

Lyft will begin to roll out features to linked account members who will receive reminders of upcoming travel with Delta through the Lyft app and via email.

We’ll introduce an in-ride flight status which will display a user's upcoming flight number, destination, departure time, boarding time, terminal number, and gate number, all within the Lyft app so riders have what they need in an easy-to-access place as they are en-route to the airport.

"Delta’s expanded partnership with Lyft will give our customers peace of mind before they even step foot in an airport,” said Prashant Sharma, Vice President of Loyalty at Delta. “We’re committed to making sure Delta customers feel taken care of on the ground as well as in the air."

Keep earning miles on every ride

On top of helping riders stay organized, they'll continue to earn rewards all year long by linking their Lyft and Delta SkyMiles® accounts and selecting Delta as their active travel rewards partner in the Lyft app. 

Between December 16 and January 9, riders will earn 4 miles for every $1 spent on all Lyft rides to or from any US airport.  After the season ends, they'll continue to earn 2 miles for every $1 spent on airport rides, and 1 mile for every $1 spent on all other Lyft rides within the US.* Learn more at deltalyft.com
