"Delta Air Lines will radically change its SkyMiles frequent flier program next year, becoming the first of the "big three" U.S. airlines to ditch a fixed miles-for-a-free-flight system in favor of a supply-and-demand scheme that may require more mileage points to fly on more popular routes.

JetBlue, Southwest and Virgin America already offer this type of award program."

Not surprising. Perhaps it will open up more seats in general though.
