Q: Why doesn't CI Travel have my correct
Delta Air Lines Frequent Flyer Number?
A: Many Delta Air Lines Frequent Flyer numbers
were changed by Delta due to the merger with Northwest Airlines. If
you did not receive an email from Delta explaining what to do, and
or if you did not comply with Delta's email instructions then you
probably have a New Frequent Flyer number.
Please check Delta's web site to verify what to do
regarding your Frequent Flyer number.
Q: Why doesn't CI Travel have my correct
Northwest Airlines Frequent Flyer Number?
A: All Worldperks Frequent Flyer number are now
being consolidated into the Skymiles Frequent Flyer program.
- SkyMiles is now the sole loyalty program for both Delta and
Northwest even though the two airlines will continue to operate
separately until the merger is fully completed in early 2010.
- All former WorldPerks members are now SkyMiles members and will
begin receiving their new 10-digit SkyMiles account number during
the first two weeks in October. SkyMiles is now the sole loyalty

Q: Can a fuel service charge be added to a
CPP award?

GSA statement from Airline City Pair Program, Fact Sheets, Fuel
Surcharge -
Fuel Surcharge Fact Sheet
Due to the continued volatility in fuel costs, the City Pair
Program is allowing airlines to assess a fuel surcharge to domestic
or international contract fares under the following
conditions:
- The fuel surcharge may only be assessed on fares corresponding
to the contract fares after the surcharge has been in place
commercially for a minimum of 14 consecutive days.
- The fuel surcharge may not be higher than that imposed
commercially.
- The fuel surcharge will be assessed at the time of ticket
issuance.
- The fuel surcharge will be removed from the contract fares when
it is no longer imposed commercially on the applicable fares in a
market.
Q: How much will a fuel service charge
cost me?
A: The fuel service charge can be as little as
$10.00 one way and does not have a cap on the cost. A fuel service
charge can be hundreds of dollars over the cost of the fare in the
international city pair market.
Q: Can a fuel service charge be added to a
"me too" fare or a "catz" fare?
A: Yes. A fuel service charge can be added to any
fare at any time without advance notice.
