2 Days Only — Discounted Delta Award Flights to Florida, the Caribbean

Fly roundtrip to select cities in Florida and the Caribbean for as few as 20,000 Delta miles in coach.

That’s the gist of Delta’s latest flash sale on SkyMiles award travel. It is indeed a flash sale. As in: Book by 11:59 p.m. EST on May 10.

While the booking must be made in short order, award travel itself can be completed between September 26 through November 14, 2017.

Deal or No Deal

The discounts vary according to date and route, but can be considerable. And the fact that Delta is now discounting award travel on a monthly basis is a positive for SkyMiles members, as well. Although it may leave them wondering which are the “normal” prices: the discounted rates, or the non-discounted rates. With the almost certain prospect of more award sales to come, it certainly makes ponying up the “normal” award price seem like an unnecessary extravagance.

As is always the case with flash sales, the snooze-you-lose booking imperative is a negative.

Still, worth a look if you have Delta miles in hand and plan (or could plan) a trip on any of the discounted routes during the travel period.
