Sweetening the pot: So after Delta cut most of the fares at its Cincinnati hub, it waited a few days and then let the other shoe drop. The carrier is now offering a frequent-flyer points bonus for people who fly from CVG to 15 business-type destinations, from Charlotte to Phoenix to Reagan Washington National. (Yes, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson is included.) Flyers who want to get the bonus points have to register and must fly by May 12; they will get 3,000 miles for their first roundtrip flight, moving steadily up the ladder to 10,000 miles for a fifth roundtrip flight. In the Delta SkyMiles program, it takes 25,000 miles to qualify for a 'free' domestic roundtrip award.
