– Availability is strongest December through February, with especially good inventory in January and February.
15% savings with a Delta cobranded American Express card
If you hold an eligible Delta American Express card, Delta will take 15% off award miles for bookings included in this sale. That discount appears at checkout — for example, a 24,000-mile award would be reduced by about 3,600 miles to roughly 20,400 miles. Actual savings can vary by fare and may round differently.
Important restrictions to know
– These awards are issued as Basic Economy fares. That means no complimentary Sky Club access, even if your card or status would normally allow it.
– Checked bags cost approximately $70 each way on Basic Economy.
– Taxes and fees still apply on award bookings and are paid in cash at booking.
How to search
Log in to your SkyMiles account at delta.com and use the search tools. The Price Calendar view is helpful for spotting the lowest award dates. Sample searches found the following deals:
– New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG): Many January–February dates from about 24,000 SkyMiles round-trip plus roughly $136 in taxes/fees. With a cobranded card, you could save around 3,600 miles.
– Miami (MIA) to Milan (MXP): January availability from about 26,000 SkyMiles round-trip plus $59.43 in taxes; the example itinerary included a connection via JFK. A cobranded card reduces the mileage total by about 15% at checkout.
– Boston (BOS) to Paris (CDG): Nonstop flights in late January for roughly 24,000 SkyMiles plus about $136 in taxes.
– Chicago (ORD) to Amsterdam (AMS): Early December round trips around 26,000 SkyMiles plus about $127 in fees; these include a layover each way.
Other cities where similar award levels appeared include Frankfurt, Munich, Venice and Marrakech.
Bottom line
If you can travel on the sale dates and accept Basic Economy conditions, round-trip award travel to Europe for roughly 24,000–26,000 SkyMiles (about 20,400–22,100 after a 15% Delta Amex discount) is a strong value. Book by Nov. 20, 2025, and consider using an eligible Delta cobranded card to capture the 15% mileage savings.
