by carrying more of their No. 1 cargo - dead people.

Daytona Beach International Airport is offering frequent flier miles to
funeral directors who ship coffins on Delta Air Lines. Delta, one of two
carriers at the airport, also is offering two free round-trip tickets for
every $5,000 of business generated this fiscal quarter.

Big John.

We're going to put this airport back on the map, if it kills us," Big John
says.
