Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
For the best chance of securing award flights with Delta Airlines for routes like New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), aim to book your tickets in late January to early February, as airlines often release additional award seats during this period for travel in the spring and summer months.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Tahiti for 100,000 SkyMiles, which typically costs around $2,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can save miles by booking a multi-city itinerary such as New York (JFK) to Amsterdam (AMS) to Barcelona (BCN) and then returning to New York (JFK) for only 80,000 miles instead of booking a round-trip from JFK to BCN, which would typically cost 100,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Delta Airlines on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fees up to $600 in fuel surcharges on award tickets.
