Spring breakers and other Delta Air Lines passengers traveling in New York might want to note an unusual offer by the airline this week.

Atlanta-based Delta, a sponsor of the New York Mets and Yankees, says customers wearing Mets or Yankees apparel can get priority boarding this week on flights from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport or New York LaGuardia Airport.

Delta is also a Braves sponsor, and last week announced it is the official airline of the Washington Nationals.
