CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Uber, the rideshare service company, announced Tuesday that Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines had chosen it to be its exclusive rideshare and delivery partner.
To kick things off, the Uber-Delta partnership will launch at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Going forward, the “Uber + Delta” team-up will allow customers to link their Uber account to their Delta SkyMiles.
Doing so will let them use their SkyMiles to reserve or upgrade Delta flights, book rooms, shop with partnered brands and even earn SkyMiles using Uber Eats.

The partnership will also have an option for reserving rides to and from the airport while purchasing flights the the Fly Delta app, though the “book an Uber Reserve” option hasn’t quite been added yet.
Additionally, Uber said SkyMiles members will be able to log in to the Delta Sync WiFi while on a flight to get a 30% off special offer while reserving an Uber ride when they land.
