How to Transfer SkyMiles to AirTran

While Delta's SkyMiles program and AirTran's A+ Rewards program both reward frequent fliers, they use dramatically different systems to calculate rewards. Delta awards participants based on the miles they fly. AirTran awards one point per flight and offers additional points for activities such as flying bonus class or using the A+ Visa card. Even though the programs are different, both airlines authorize indirect transfers by allowing members to make trades through the third-party company Points International on the points.com website.
