Delta’s periodic mileage sale for award flights to Europe is back – and it’s even better than before! While you can still score economy flights to Europe from 48,000 SkyMiles round-trip, you also have the option of redeeming for business class for just 128,000 SkyMiles round-trip.
That’s a great deal compared to Delta’s normal business class rates to Europe. While Delta doesn’t have a set award chart, at the very least Delta charges 82,000 miles each way (164,000 round-trip) in business class, yet we usually see Delta One seats price north of 100,000 miles each way. And nonstop flights can be much more expensive than that.
But, for the next two days, you can book nonstop Delta One business class flights to Europe for just 64,000 miles each way- although it appears you’ll have to book a round-trip itinerary to get that rate. The airline has listed the following routes as being discounted as part of this sale:
While the deal and our examples below focus on the 23 nonstop examples listed by Delta, other departure cities are available. So, it’s worth checking your origin city and preferred destination even if you don’t see it listed. For example, we found San Francisco (SFO) to Frankfurt (FRA) for 128,000 miles round-trip in Delta One:
If you’re short on miles, remember that you can instantly transfer American Express Membership Rewards points into your SkyMiles account at 1:1 ratio.
