Now is the perfecttime to use up those unused Delta SkyMiles for record-low flight deals to Europe.
“Europe is waiting,” the airline shared about the promotion on its website. “Make the most of your miles and score great deals to trending destinations in France, Germany, Italy, and more.”
Delta’s latest “SkyMiles Award Deals” sale, which ends tomorrow, Jan. 30, at 11:59 p.m. ET, has discounted award tickets for basic economy and Main Cabin fares. Travel dates vary by route, but most discounted flights are available between February and March 2025.
To secure the best deals, these flights must be booked as round-trip tickets. Taxes and fees will depend on the destination, typically ranging from $50 to $200.
Travel + Leisure searched through the list to find the top SkyMiles deals:
- New York (JFK) to/from Venice (VCE): 34,000 miles in basic economy, 54,000 miles in Main Cabin
- Atlanta (ATL) to/from Frankfurt (FRA): 36,000 miles in basic economy, 58,000 miles in Main Cabin
- Seattle (SEA) to/from Brussels (BRU): 37,000 miles in basic economy, 56,000 miles in Main Cabin
- Portland (PDX) to/from Zurich (ZRH): 38,000 miles in basic economy, 58,000 miles in Main Cabin
- Raleigh-Durham (RDU) to/from Paris (CDG): 40,000 miles in basic economy, 58,000 miles in Main Cabin
Travelers with a personal or business Delta Gold, Platinum, or Reserve credit card can save even more with a 15 award discount on award tickets for Delta-operated flights. For example, that same round-trip ticket from New York to Venice can be booked for as few as 28,900 SkyMiles.
Delta allows basic economy passengers to bring both a personal item and a carry-on bag onboard. However, seat assignments are only given at check-in, and cancellation fees apply. Additionally, basic economy tickets do not grant access to Delta Sky Club.
In contrast, Main Cabin fares provide greater flexibility, including the ability to select seats in advance, earn miles, and take advantage of more lenient modification policies.
