I just made DM but if this is any indication of the service I will get, I am sold. The driver said this was a new service offered for DM members at random. Has anyone else received this?
Considering the miles you have and how much you spent dollarwise on flying, you realize you paid for the Porsche right? :-)
Not unheard of and I do believe you. Delta is trying to gain high profit high margin customers and impress them such as yourself so they likely have a small fleet of porsches to pick up passengers at random which appears to be a new thing.
I don't know if any other airlines do this, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did as well.
Ive been in Porsches before. They never impressed me. It is a small car designed to go high speed. Sort of like what an Airplane does in the sky I guess. But you still have your Yugo to go homewith right? :-)
From the pic it looks like the Porsche was driven on the tarmac? Where exactly did the Porsche meet you when it picked you up?
Airlines now are big money and are competing feverishly for those high dollar customers since they make the company tick.
Also this service is likely limited to ATL which is Delta's corporate HQ I am guessing. Probably some corporate executive cars they use to impress customers and the executives drive them as their personal vehicles. I am just guessing here.
