Delta to Southwest Flyers: Come on Over—We’ve Got Upgrades

If you’re a Southwest loyalist who’s less than thrilled about the airline’s new fees for bags and seat assignments, Delta sees you—and they’re making a move.

Right now, Delta is running a Status Match Challenge just for Southwest A-List and A-List Preferred Members. If you qualify, you’ll get Gold or even Platinum Medallion® Status on Delta—just for switching teams. That means complimentary upgrades, free checked bags, priority boarding, and preferred seats, without paying a penny more.

This offer runs through September 30, 2025, and it’s clearly aimed at winning over travelers who feel like Southwest isn’t the budget-friendly hero it used to be. For Atlanta-based flyers, where Delta rules the runway, this is a no-brainer.

Want to make the most of the switch? We can help you build a travel points strategy to stack even more perks.
