Overview
- Eligible Delta Gold, Platinum, and Reserve cardholders get a 15% award discount, dropping 24,000-mile fares to 20,400 miles and many 30,000-mile options to 25,500.
- The lowest pricing applies to Basic Economy, which lacks seat selection, charges about $70 each way to check a bag, and does not grant Sky Club access even with qualifying cards.
- Availability is highly date- and route-specific, with widespread 24k–26k round-trip options found from December through February to cities such as London, Paris, Milan, Munich, Amsterdam, and more.
- Taxes and fees vary by destination—examples cited include roughly $136 to Paris, about $59 to Milan, and around $127 to Amsterdam—so comparing miles-plus-fees to cash fares is advised.
- Many of the same flights price in Main Classic around 30,000 SkyMiles, which adds a checked bag and seat assignments and can be a better overall value for some travelers.
