Delta business class award space is wide open, making it a great time to book flights with transferable points currencies like Citi ThankYou. Partner programs, such as Air France-KLM Flying Blue, offer the best value for Delta One awards due to reasonable redemption rates and no surcharges.
Awards are available on hundreds of long-haul flights, including routes to Europe, Asia, and other destinations. For example, flying from Boston to Edinburgh costs 57,000 miles and $33 in taxes and fees, while a ticket from Salt Lake City to Seoul Incheon costs 110,000 miles and $33.
It’s essential to price out awards before transferring points and be aware that availability can disappear quickly. However, this is a rare opportunity to book Delta One business class at a fraction of the cost compared to SkyMiles, which would require 330,000 miles for the same award.
With peak summer travel approaching, booking these flights is ideal for point-to-point travel. The experience may vary depending on the plane and airport lounge quality. While Delta’s A350 business class is good, the 767 business class has its limitations.
To find availability, use Seats.aero, and then book with Air France-KLM Flying Blue. Be cautious of phantom awards and prices that are pricing out twice on the FlyingBlue site.
