Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your Delta Airlines award flight to Europe for the best availability during the off-peak months of January to March, particularly for routes like New York (JFK) to Amsterdam (AMS).

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) for just 40,000 SkyMiles one-way, while typical cash prices for this route can soar over $600.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) with a stopover in Tokyo (NRT) for 40,000 miles instead of booking a direct round-trip from JFK to LAX which would typically cost 50,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Delta Airlines for domestic routes, as they often impose a $150 fee for changing a flight, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
