Start Searching with SkyMiles
If you're looking to fly domestically within the continental U.S. or visit our friendly neighbors to the north in Canada, you'll often find that using Delta's own SkyMiles program is the best way to book a Delta flight using miles. Unlike other airline programs which may charge a flat amount like 12,500 miles each way, we regularly see Delta domestic fares available for 5,000 SkyMiles each way. Better yet, Thrifty Traveler Premium+ members frequently get Delta SkyMiles flash salessent directl...
Use a Travel Portal
If you find a great cash fare on a Delta flight, either by searching with Google Flights or sent directly to your inbox from a Thrifty Traveler Premium deal alert, you can easily book the ticket for a great value using Chase Ultimate Rewards credit card points earned with cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or the Chase Sapphire Reserve®. In fact, this is one of our favorite ways to book domestic flights using points and miles. It's simple. Just book the flight through the Chase tra...
Check Out Virgin Atlantic for Shorter Delta Flights
Taking a nonstop flight under 1,000 miles? You may want to turn to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club for the cheapest redemption rate. Virgin Atlantic has a distance-based award chartfor most Delta flights and the shorter flights that usually have expensive cash fares tend to be the best value for points redemptions. It's just 7,500 Virgin points to book one-way, nonstop Delta flights that are under 500 miles in distance flown. And the next tier, between 501-1000 miles in total distance is just 8,5...
Nationwide to Hawaii for 35K Miles Roundtrip … But Not With SkyMiles
Looking to fly Delta out to Hawaii using your points and miles? You may not want to use your SkyMiles. It can sometimes be twice as much (or more) to book Delta flights to Hawaii using SkyMiles compared to booking the same exact flights with Delta's other partner airlines. For example, this one-way flight from New York City (JFK) to Honolulu (HNL) would cost 35,500 SkyMiles plus around $5 in taxes and fees. But you can book that exact same flight for just 17,500 Air France-KLM Flying Blue mil...
Turn to Virgin for Shorter Nonstops
Flying nonstop to Hawaii from the West Coast? You'll be better off just booking with Virgin Atlantic Flying Club for 15,000 points one-way or just 30,000 roundtrip. You may see Delta selling some of these routes from the West Coast for slightly fewer SkyMiles in Delta Basic Economybut you'll always get a Main Cabin ticket when booking Delta flights with Virgin points. Availability on these shorter nonstop Hawaii routes tends to be fairly good. Plus, there are more transfer opportunities since...
SkyMiles Flash Sales at the Lowest Rates
The best deals when using points and miles for Delta flights to the Caribbean and Mexico closely follow the methods for flights within the continental U.S. and Canada. Your best bet is to catch one of the frequent Delta SkyMiles deals we send out to Thrifty Traveler Premium+members, such as this recent deal with flights to Cancun (CUN) from just 11,000 SkyMiles roundtrip from several cities. You won't get a cheaper rate through any other airline program … on Delta or any other carrier! The li...
Use Your Points Like Cash
Similar to domestic flights, you'll also want to be on the lookout for a good cash ticket price to Caribbean or Mexican destinations served by Delta. When you find a solid deal, simply book your flights with Chase points through its portal or completely cover the cost of a ticket booked with a Capital One card by erasing the purchasewith miles. Booking this way is often the best deal due to the fact that the taxes and fees on flights to these destinations tend to be a higher percentage of the...
Try Virgin Again
Still, there may be a few cases where using one of Delta's partner airline miles makes more sense. And as is the case with domestic flights, this is usually true for shorter nonstop flights booked with Virgin points. For example, you can book a nonstop Main Cabin Delta flight from Atlanta (ATL) to Aruba (AUA) for 25,000 Virgin pointsplus around $85 in taxes and fees roundtrip. Compare this to Delta, which is charging 42,500 miles for the exact same flightsin Main Cabin. Taking it a step furth...
Try Virgin for Business Class
Booking Delta's business class seats, dubbed Delta One, will usually cost you an arm and a leg — even when booking with points and miles. However, there still remains one sweet spot to book a seat in Delta One: To Europe for just 50,000 Virgin points one-way. This is an absolutely incredible deal when you compare it to the 200,000+ SkyMiles Delta usually charges for the same seats. In the last year, it's gotten much harder to book these seats through Virgin – you may need to be extremely flex...
Economy Flash Sales through Delta
Looking to fly economy over to Europe? Keep your eyes peeled for a Delta SkyMiles flash sale. Thrifty Traveler Premium+members have received several of these deals in the past year such as this deal we sent out in March for travel to Europe throughout the year from just 32,000 SkyMiles roundtrip. That's half of what most airlines charge, and a solid deal.
For Premium Select, Use SkyMiles
If you want something in between economy and business class, Delta is flying more and more planes across the Atlantic with its new Delta Premium Selectproduct. It's like a domestic first class seat and allows for a little extra comfort on the long-haul flight without breaking the bank paying for business class. It's fairly common to see Delta Premium Select seats to Europe going for 90,000 SkyMiles roundtrip. While this isn't exactly super cheap, it's quite a bit lower than what Delta charges...
Virgin Shines for Economy to Asia
Flying Delta to Asia using points and miles is a bit tricky these days since Virgin Atlantic made a major devaluationto its redemption rates for most Delta flights in 2021. However, if you don't mind flying economy and just want a good deal to get out there on a Delta bird, there are still some decent rates for nonstop Delta flights from the West Coast to Asia when booking with Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points. For instance, you can fly Delta from Seattle (SEA) to Tokyo-Haneda (HND) for jus...
Wait for a SkyMiles Flash Sale to Australia
For Australia, we've been seeing some pretty amazing SkyMiles deals lately. Thrifty Traveler Premium+members have received a few nationwide deals to Sydney for just 80,000 miles roundtrip from most cities — even for peak summer in Australia between January and February. And the rates have even dropped below that from some cities. Earlier this month, we spotted flights from Minneapolis (MSP) to Sydney (SYD) as low as 72,000 SkyMiles roundtrip. Needless to say, this is a moving target. Once tra...
Flying Delta using points and miles isn't always as straight forward as logging in to your SkyMiles account and searching for flights. While SkyMiles flash sales can often provide excellent value for economy tickets in several markets, there are times when you can save big by booking the same Delta flights using partner airline miles. Next time you...
