Despite recent devaluations, Delta still offers solid value
for domestic and many international destinations if you can redeem at the
lowest award level.
A 2014 study ranked US Airways 24th out of 25 airlines worldwide
for lowest -
level award availability, and found that
award flights on US Airways required more miles on average than any other major U.S. or Canadian airline.
It is true you may have to spend more miles to fly on a peak date than an off - peak date, but it can be done, and if you use some strategy you can sometimes fly home
for the holidays at the
lower, saver
award level.
In theory, Delta charges 50,000 miles
for business class
awards from LAX — JFK at the
low saver
level.
And now — according to the Crankyflier blog — the airline has taken another step backwards with its loyalty program by quietly introducing new advance - purchase rules
for low -
level domestic
award travel.
I say you have enough miles in theory
for Hawaii and off - peak Europe because in practice, US Airways is known as one of the stingiest airlines
for award availability at the
lowest levels.
As an example of how one program works, United normally offers its saver
award seats in the
lower 48 states at 12,500 miles each way, but when a saver
award isn't available, those with a United co-branded credit card or United elite status typically can secure an
award seat at the 25,000 - mile standard
award level each direction, as long as seats are still available
for sale with cash.
For example, when you are unable to find an
award flight at the
lowest mileage
levels.
The program is notorious
for releasing few
low -
level awards, so it's best to book those seats as far in advance as possible.
Airlines now offer several different prices
for the same
awards, but offer very few seats at the
lowest mileage
levels.
It doesn't seem that he was waiting
for something else, like
low -
level award space, since he was willing to buy more miles.
You can find
low -
level economy
award tickets on Delta Air Lines
for as little as 12,500 miles each way but the cost can surge to 45,000 miles
for a peak one - way
award ticket.
If you ever manage to find
low -
level award availability with Delta, you could make a killing redeeming cheaply - earned Virgin Atlantic miles
for that
award, though I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.
There's also a special
award chart
for award flights on Delta, as long as there's
low -
level availability.
These can be as
low as 20,000 miles each way
for a Super Saver
award, but you will find much better availability at the Saver
level for 30,000 miles.
We recommend you do your research, but if you see a
low -
level award on a short - haul that works
for you, snag it.
However, they have explicitly stated that flights between select markets will only cost 10K miles each way
for the
lowest level economy
awards.
For months I've been planning on this being a year of mileage redemptions: this will be my last year as a Platinum Medallion, enjoying free
award redeposit and reissue, allowing me to maximize the value I get from my Skymiles by locking in «
low» -
level award space as it becomes available.
Low level award redemptions
for premium business class international round - trip tickets can usually be found
for 140,000 miles, but Delta occasionally has flash sales where those
awards cost just 110,000 miles.
Now, I'm hoping that the
low -
level awards are still available
for her return once she firms up her plans.
For years, fliers have complained about stingy
award availability on Delta flights at the
lowest redemption
levels.
Thanks to their
award chart devaluation I'm going to be crediting my Delta flights to Alaska Airlines next calendar year (hopefully after a status match gets me to MVP Gold or MVP Gold 75K), but in the meantime Platinum Medallion is absolutely priceless
for the ability to rebook
awards —
for free — from the «medium» and «high»
levels to the «
low»
level as
award availability appears.
So in this example, under the old structure, you would hit 25,000 miles — the
lowest level to redeem
for an
award ticket — after a little more than five of those flights, which cost a total of $ 2,000.
