Delta is partnering with The New York Times to bring one of the world’s most trusted brands onboard, enriching the travel experience with journalism, games, audio and more. And it doesn’t stop when the plane lands: Eligible SkyMiles Members get 24 hours of complimentary access to all of The Times, so they can keep reading, listening and playing, wherever their journey takes them.
For many customers, The New York Times is already part of their everyday routine—a connection that proved popular onboard when New York Times Games previously launched on Delta Sync. Building on that success, Delta Sync now brings even more of The Times’s universe into the journey, giving customers new ways to discover, learn and stay entertained.
SkyMiles Members have multiple ways to explore The Times’s expansive portfolio: both on their personal devices through fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile (now available on nearly 1,200 aircraft) and via seatback screens (coming soon). The collaboration marks Delta Sync’s first truly global content partnership, meaning customers can access The Times’s full suite of offerings on all Delta Sync Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft, wherever they’re traveling.
SkyMiles Members logged into Delta Sync Wi-Fi can unlock an exclusive 24-hour trial of The Times — no credit card required — with full access to its digital ecosystem during the flight and after landing, including:
News: Award-winning, trusted reporting and analysis across politics, world affairs, business, lifestyle and culture, science, technology and more.
Games: Word and logic puzzles including fan favorites like Wordle, Spelling Bee, Connections, The Crossword and more — plus hundreds of past puzzles.
Cooking: Advice, inspiration and more than 25,000 professionally crafted recipes and guides tested in home kitchens to help you cook.
Audio: Exclusive shows – including “The Daily,” “The Interview,” “Modern Love” and many more — in addition to narrated articles.
Wirecutter: Research, reviews, gift guides and recommendations to help you shop confidently.
The Athletic: In-depth, personalized coverage of your favorite sports and teams, with expert insights and analysis.
SkyMiles Members can redeem The New York Times offer onboard multiple times per year, making it easy to stay connected to the latest news and culture during long-haul travel, quick trips and beyond.
Starting in May, Delta will introduce curated video storytelling from The Times to the in-flight entertainment experience, bringing world-class journalism to more than 165,000 seatback screens across Delta’s fleet.
With The New York Times’s additional seatback content, customers can look forward to mid- and long-form New York Times video content, spanning culture, lifestyle and exploration. Seatback content will include premium video series like DealBook Summit, featuring wide-ranging interviews on the most important stories across business, politics and culture, and “The Interview,” showcasing conversations with compelling, influential figures in culture, politics, business, sports and beyond.
