Wheels Up Unveils Self-Booking for Delta Flights
In a groundbreaking move for the aviation industry, Wheels Up Experience Inc. has announced the introduction of self-booking options for its members, allowing them to purchase Delta Air Lines commercial flights directly through the Wheels Up member portal. Starting in early January 2026, this industry-first feature allows Wheels Up members to seamlessly integrate commercial air travel into their private aviation experience.
Enhanced Travel Experience
This new feature deepens the strategic partnership between Wheels Up and Delta Air Lines, providing members with a streamlined way to plan and execute their travel. Members will be able to search for available Delta flights, compare product options, review pricing, and complete their bookings, all within a user-friendly digital environment. After booking, confirmation numbers and ticket details will be issued, and the members’ Wheels Up Funds will be automatically adjusted to reflect their purchases. This integration is designed to afford greater convenience, flexibility, and control over travel plans.
Self-Service Booking at Your Fingertips
Accessible through a dedicated section in the Wheels Up portal, the self-booking feature provides users with the chance to not only book flights but to enjoy an end-to-end travel experience that combines the extensive route network of Delta with the unique benefits of private aviation. Members can also manage their bookings further through delta.com or the Fly Delta app, which offers options for seat selection and add-on purchases.
George Mattson, the CEO of Wheels Up, emphasized the importance of this feature in enhancing how members travel. “Expanding how our members can fly is central to our strategy,” Mattson said. “This integration reinforces the strength of our partnership with Delta and reflects how our members actually travel today.”
Bridging Commercial and Private Aviation
Wheels Up's innovative self-booking option allows members to combine various travel modes effortlessly. For instance, travelers can book a Delta One or other premium cabin flights to major hubs and connect to Wheels Up flights for final legs, gaining access to regional airports and unique destinations. This approach creates a cohesive travel experience that aims to meet the evolving needs of today's travelers.
Building a Collaborative Future
The launch of this self-booking feature marks a significant step in showcasing how private and commercial aviation can coexist and benefit from one another in a connected travel landscape. Wheels Up's commitment to developing technology-driven, flexible travel options shows their dedication to evolving with their customers’ demands.
This announcement not only enhances the travel experience for Wheels Up members but also sets a new standard within the private aviation arena. As the company continues to innovate and expand, travelers can expect more integrated solutions that cater to their diverse needs.
For anyone looking to take advantage of this new capability, it will soon be easier than ever to book flights, manage itineraries, and experience the multifaceted benefits of travel with Wheels Up and Delta Air Lines.
