ATLANTA, Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air
Lines (NYSE: DAL) will extend its premium collection of in-flight
amenities with a newly designed Westin Heavenly® In-Flight Blanket
for the First Class cabin, beginning mid-November. This is an
extension of the airline's existing partnership with Westin Hotels
& Resorts, part of Marriott International, Inc.
"We are passionate about making sure that every detail, down to
the blankets, enhances the experience on board for customers," said
Allison Ausband, Delta's Senior Vice
President of In-Flight Service. "Delta's commitment to customer
comfort is reflected through our partnership with Westin Hotels
& Resorts. Our two travel brands are perfectly suited to
collaborate together to help customers get to their desired
destination in the most comfortable way."
Based on research and feedback collected directly from
customers, Delta's In-Flight Service and Brand team together with
Westin's Brand team developed the Westin Heavenly® In-Flight
Blanket, which is inspired by signature design elements of the
iconic Westin Heavenly® Bed. The muted grey hue blanket exudes a
relaxing and calming ambiance, while simultaneously paying tribute
to the two brands.
"Westin's distinctive approach to well-being continues to
resonate around the world, and it's powerful to have a partner like
Delta, who equally values innovating and enhancing the sleep
experience for travelers," said Brian
Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Westin Hotels & Resorts.
"From sleep-enhancing in-room amenities and slumber promoting
dining options at our hotels to the expansion of our Westin
Heavenly In-Flight program with Delta, we know nothing restores
your mind and body like restful sleep."
In addition to First Class cabin offerings, Delta's Main Cabin
blankets have also been upgraded, featuring woven fabric in a
sensory blue hue. Each blanket has been designed with durable
long-lasting materials.
The Westin Heavenly® In-Flight Blanket launch is a part of a
larger, ongoing partnership between the well-being brand and Delta
to continually improve the in-flight sleep experience. Customers in
select cabins currently enjoy Westin Heavenly® In-Flight Bedding –
the coveted, luxurious white comforters and hypoallergenic pillows
– along with Delta-branded sleepwear, noise-cancelling headsets and
TUMI amenity kits featuring Kiehl's Since 1851 products.
Additionally, Westin's luxurious Heavenly Bath® towels are also
featured in Delta Sky Clubs.
