Special introductory fares encourage customers to book their trips now

Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) is encouraging customers to take advantage of special low introductory fares and book their vacations early to the fun-filled beach destination of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

"Now our customers can have the best of both worlds during the winter season -- magnificent slopes where they can dig in their skis and sunny beaches where they can dig in their toes," said James Sarvis, Delta's director of Latin America and Caribbean. "The additional destination of beautiful Puerto Vallarta supports our transformation strategy of providing more service to more customers on the most popular international routes." Puerto Vallarta represents the third Mexican destination Delta serves from Salt Lake City. Delta recently began new service from Salt Lake City to Cancun and Los Cabos, Mexico.

Delta's new nonstop daily schedule between Salt Lake City and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, effective Nov 1, 2005:

   Flight   Departs                        Arrives
