A travel agent set up a separate Delta SkyMiles account for the instrument 15 years ago under the name “Cello Harrell” and Harrell collected frequent flier miles for both himself and his stringed companion without any problems for more than a decade.

Delta had closed the cello’s account and terminated Harrell’s membership in the program. All of the accumulated miles in both accounts -- several hundred thousand in all – were gone, Harrell said. In addition, he could never reopen a new SkyMiles account.
