For the ninth consecutive year, Delta Air Lines is bringing back its 12Status SkyMiles loyalty program for Seattle Seahawks fans. The program, exclusive to Washington state residents, allows members to earn one mile for every passing yard by the Seahawks during both home and away games throughout the 2025–2026 football season.
This year, wide receiver Cooper Kupp will serve as a program ambassador. Kupp will feature in Delta and Seahawks marketing campaigns as well as his own social media channels to promote 12Status. He said, “It’s great to have Delta as part of the Seahawks family for another season. As a new member of the team, I am looking forward to racking up miles for our fans and excited to partner with Delta to bring the best in travel and football to the city of Seattle.”
The 12Status program also offers additional benefits. Members receive priority boarding in Zone 5 when departing from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport during the season. They are eligible for a 12% discount on purchases made on the 12th day of each month at official Seahawks Pro Shop locations in Renton and at Lumen Field.
Since its launch in 2016, more than 1.9 billion miles have been awarded through the program, with members redeeming these miles for over 653,000 award tickets across 736 destinations. Las Vegas has remained the most popular destination among members for four years running.
Joan Wang, Managing Director – Pacific Northwest for Delta Air Lines, commented on this year’s return: “In Seattle, Delta customers always win, and this football season is no exception. As we celebrate Delta’s Centennial Year, Delta is more committed than ever to the Seattle market. With expanded routes to more destinations across the globe and a brand-new Delta One lounge and Sky Club at SEA, Delta is delivering more of what Seattle travelers love — whether they’re cheering from the stands or jetting off to their next adventure.”
Delta continues to expand its presence in Seattle by offering service to over 60 destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Americas from SEA airport. In summer 2026, new nonstop flights from Seattle to Barcelona and Rome are set to begin.
Fans can fly direct from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to watch away games in cities such as Phoenix, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Nashville, Atlanta and San Francisco.
Delta also serves as Official Airline of other local sports teams like Seattle Sounders FC and participates in community engagement efforts throughout Seattle.
Enrollment in SkyMiles is required—and free—to participate in 12Status. Registration or re-enrollment can be completed online before September 7th.
