Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for peak summer travel routes, such as New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX), in late January or early February to maximize availability and minimize mileage costs.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 50,000 Delta SkyMiles for a one-way flight from the U.S. to Europe, which typically costs around $800 in cash, offering exceptional value for your miles.
Routing Trick
Book a Delta flight from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Los Angeles (LAX) instead of flying direct; this routing can save you approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct ticket while earning additional miles on the segments.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Delta Airlines on domestic routes, particularly from New York to Los Angeles, as they often impose a $150 fee for changes and a $200 fee for checked baggage on certain fare classes.
