Wheels Up Experience, a private aviation provider, announced that beginning in early January, Wheels Up members will be able to self-book Delta Air Lines commercial flights directly through Wheels Up’s member web portal.  Delta is an investor in and a strategic partner of Wheels Up.

For the first time in private aviation, according to the announcement, members can access a fully integrated, self-service commercial airline booking experience within a private aviation membership platform. Through this feature, members can use their existing Wheels Up Funds to purchase commercial flights, providing greater flexibility, convenience and control to meet their broader travel needs, according to the announcement.

Accessible through a dedicated entry point within the Wheels Up portal, the feature allows members to search available Delta Air Lines flights, view product options, review pricing and complete bookings in a streamlined digital flow. Once booked, members receive a confirmation number and ticket details, with their Wheels Up Fund balance automatically adjusted to reflect the purchase. After completing their booking, members can log in to delta.com or the Fly Delta app to select seats, purchase add-ons or manage their reservation. 

George Mattson, CEO of Wheels Up, said, “Expanding how our members can fly is central to our strategy.” By bringing Delta commercial booking directly into the Wheels Up portal, he said, “we’re expanding flexibility while making it easier for members to use their Wheels Up Funds across their broader travel needs.”

This integration, said the announcement, enables Wheels Up members to plan seamless journeys that combine the global reach of commercial air travel with the convenience of private aviation. Members can book Delta One or other premium cabin flights to major hubs, then connect to a Wheels Up flight for the final leg, extending access to regional airports and distinctive destinations.
