Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

To maximize your chances of finding award availability, book your Delta Airlines flights for trips to Europe, especially from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), during early January to mid-February, as this is typically when airlines release more award seats and travel demand is lower.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Europe for 50,000 miles in economy class with Delta Airlines, where typical cash prices often exceed $800.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) with a stopover in Amsterdam (AMS) for the same 50,000 miles, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to booking a separate round-trip to each city.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Delta Airlines on routes to Europe, as they often impose a high carrier-imposed surcharge of around $300 to $500 on award tickets.
