Just in time for the holidays, Delta is putting more power in your hands—making it easier than ever to plan, manage and adapt your journey, no matter what the season brings.
With the October 7.5 release, the app that gets you the most seamless travel experience with Delta is getting you even more, including:
More flexibility
Select ‘My Dates are Flexible’ in the Booking Window to compare prices by date.
Scroll to compare fares with the Flex Calendar.
With the new Flex Calendar, shopping for flights is easier than ever. Compare fares across dates and quickly spot the best deals for your trip. And, if you’re using a Companion Certificate, the Flex Calendar helps you find eligible dates to maximize your benefits, all in one streamlined view.

More visibility
With this release, travelers will see even more day-of travel details in Live Activities, including boarding zone, seat assignment and baggage carousel info—right on their lock screen, right when they need it.
Plus, the new Delta Sky Club® Tracker lets Delta SkyMiles® Card Members monitor their spending, track their Delta Sky Club visits and track progress toward unlimited Delta Sky Club access for the following year.
More self-service options

Coming soon: Delta Concierge
And – later this month, a small group of app users will be invited to try Delta Concierge, a new kind of digital travel assistant designed exclusively for SkyMiles® Members.

Delta SkyMiles Members and customers can now immerse themselves in the vibrant world of anime through the airline’s new partnership with Crunchyroll – the global brand offering the largest dedicated anime streaming library. This first-of-its-kind curated Crunchyroll experience will be available exclusively on Delta.
Whether a longtime fan or anime-curious, this partnership is designed to meet customers where they are – onboard and online – with content that both speaks to what that they love and invites discovery.
“Every Delta flight is an opportunity to discover something new,” said Sarah Downs, Managing Director of In-Flight Entertainment Engagement & Optimization at Delta. “The world of anime is rich with storytelling and emotion, and Crunchyroll brings that to life in a way that’s perfect for travel. This partnership is a meaningful part of our ongoing commitment to delivering industry-leading entertainment that’s as dynamic and diverse as the customers we serve.”
Hit series and an exclusive offer for SkyMiles Members
Starting this month, anime content specially curated by Crunchyroll is beginning to roll out on Delta’s more than 165,000 seatback screens – the most of any U.S.-based carrier – and within its Delta Sync Wi-Fi experience for SkyMiles Members, now available on more than 940 aircraft.
On their seatback screens, SkyMiles Members and customers will enjoy episodes from the action-packed adventure Black Clover, the slice of life My Roommate is a Cat, the romantic comedy Horimiya, the beloved Fruits Basket and the dark fantasy epic Solo Leveling, which won Anime of the Year at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
Individual, high-resolution images can be downloaded from the News Hub media library.
After enjoying the seatback selections, SkyMiles Members can log in to Delta Sync Wi-Fi on their personal devices for an exclusive offer: 24-hour free access (no form of payment required) to stream Crunchyroll’s full catalog of 50,000 episodes, 25,000 hours of content and more than 2,000 unique titles for use during the flight or after landing (some terms and exclusions apply). Not a SkyMiles Member yet? It’s free to join!
A partnership rooted in global culture
Anime is no longer niche – it’s a global entertainment force and a pop culture powerhouse. According to a recent survey commissioned by Crunchyroll, nearly half of Gen Z fans consider anime a meaningful part of their identity, and over half of Millennial and Gen X fans have stayed connected to anime for more than a decade. With more than 17 million paid subscribers, Crunchyroll is the leading destination for anime fans worldwide.
Delta’s partnership with Crunchyroll brings together a passionate fan base and a growing cultural movement – giving customers something new to explore, whether they’re seasoned fans or just curious to see what all the buzz is about.
“There is nothing better on a long flight than immersing yourself in the rich storytelling and world-building of anime. Fans can go deep on one series or sample one episode of many series – from action to adventure, romance and more. And when they get hooked they can continue their experience on the Crunchyroll app,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. “We are excited to share what we love with Delta customers and go to new heights together.”
Crunchyroll joins YouTube and Uber in bringing more personalized, culturally relevant experiences onboard Delta in 2025. With exclusive offers and partnerships with beloved brands like Paramount+, Delta is accelerating its ambition to build the world’s most loved loyalty program.
