When his job and that of his co-worker, played by Kristen Wiig, are threatened, Mitty takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined. The film also stars Sean Penn, Shirley MacLaine, and Adam Scott.

Customers traveling with Delta in November were able to watch the film’s official trailer.

December’s Sky magazine features Ben Stiller on the cover and within issue.
Visitors to Delta’s Facebook page between Dec. 4-27 have the chance to win SkyMiles through the “Stop Dreaming and Start Doing” sweepstakes. Ten “Stop Dreaming and Start Doing” winner will be announced on Jan. 2.*

Delta Vacations is providing the grand prize for the “Walter Mitty Photo Experience” on Shutterfly.com.

“‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ centers on aspirational travel, adventure and exploration – a natural fit with Delta,” said Tim Mapes, Delta’s senior vice president – Marketing. “We hope the sneak preview and chance to win SkyMiles inspires our customers to take off on their own spontaneous journey.”
“Delta is a great partner for this amazing film,” said Zachary Eller, Senior Vice President, Marketing Partnerships at 20th Century Fox. “This film is all about stepping outside your comfort zone and experiencing life. Delta also offers the chance to live out your own adventures, so we know this program will connect with travelers. We are excited to work with Delta to generate awareness for the film with millions of their consumers during the busy holiday season.”

The full-length feature film will join Delta’s library of in-flight entertainment beginning spring 2014.

The partnership with 20th Century Fox leverages the airline’s Sky Media division which offers advertisers the opportunity to reach millions of consumers through a rapidly expanding list of touch points throughout the travel experience. Unique, custom-tailored content can be placed in both traditional venues like Sky Magazine and the aircraft’s in-flight entertainment system and new media options including delta.com, Fly Delta mobile apps, the in-flight Wi-Fi portal, and screens in boarding areas and in Delta Sky Clubs.
