How it works:
SuperShuttle will offer SkyMiles miles for customers booking airport rides
online at http://www.supershuttle.com. SuperShuttle customers will earn 50
miles in each direction for riding SuperShuttle. This program is effective
immediately to all Delta customers who are in their frequent flyer programs.
Delta is the fourth airline to have entered into a frequent flyer
marketing partnership with SuperShuttle. SuperShuttle also offers US Airways
Dividend(R) miles, Northwest Airlines WorldPerks(R) miles, and Frontier
Airlines Early Returns(R) miles for reservations booked online.
"SuperShuttle is the only true national airport shared-ride service in the
country and we are pleased to be in partnership with Delta Airlines, who
serves so many of our customers, said Ken Testani, senior vice-president of
marketing and sales for SuperShuttle International. "We believe that offering
frequent flyer miles is not only an additional incentive to book SuperShuttle
reservations online, but also a reward for customers who know that sharing a
SuperShuttle ride to and from the airport saves on gas, means fewer cars on
the road and ultimately fewer greenhouse gas emissions."

Transportation On Demand and a subsidiary of Veolia Environment (Euronext:
