Deal or No Deal



Delta no longer publishes award charts, so there is no set standard against which to judge the discounted prices. However, roundtrip business-class award flights to Europe are typically priced around 140,000 or more miles. So the discounts can be considerable.

More generally, the fact that Delta is now discounting award travel on a monthly basis is a positive for SkyMiles members. Although it may leave them wondering which are the “normal” prices: the discounted rates, or the non-discounted rates. With the almost certain prospect of more award sales to come, it certainly makes ponying up the so-called normal award price seem like an unnecessary extravagance.

Still, worth a look if you have Delta miles in hand and plan (or could plan) an overseas trip during the sale's travel period.
