Delta is running a SkyMiles award flash sale on Delta One, its business class, and Delta's page says it runs through October 29, 2026. One Mile at a Time and Thrifty Traveler both put the starting price at 115,000 miles one way before the Delta Amex discount.
Deal Details
Thrifty Traveler's list shows 115,000 SkyMiles one way from nearly 200 airports to Europe and Africa. It names Accra, Barcelona, Brussels, Catania, Dakar, Dublin, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Lagos, Lisbon, Marrakech, Paris, Porto and Rome, and says cities like Amsterdam, Zurich and Munich cost slightly more.
Delta Amex cardholders get 15% off Delta award bookings. One Mile at a Time says that brings 115,000 miles to just under 100,000 one way, and Thrifty Traveler says fares start as low as 97,700 each way.
The outlets disagree on travel dates. Thrifty Traveler says there's availability from November through March 2027. One Mile at a Time says travel windows vary by route and are generally narrow, in late 2026 or early 2027. Check the calendar for your own route before you count on a date.
Prices also differ a lot by where you start. One Mile at a Time points out that the sale price from Miami to Tokyo is 795,000 miles round trip, so don't assume every route is a bargain.
How to Take Advantage
- Open Delta's flash sale page and enter your departure airport to see what's available, or search on Delta.com with Shop with Miles and pick Delta One.
- Use Delta's Price Calendar, which Thrifty Traveler recommends, to find the lowest dates for your route.
- Sign in with your SkyMiles number. Thrifty Traveler says the cardholder discount is applied automatically.
- Book before the sale ends on October 29, 2026.
Why This Deal Matters
Delta's regular Delta One prices to Europe run far higher. Thrifty Traveler puts them at 300,000 SkyMiles or more each way. One Mile at a Time says the sale could be a good way to use SkyMiles you already have.
The plane matters too. Delta One seats differ a lot by aircraft, and our guide to Delta One seats by aircraft shows how the A350, A330, 767 and 757 compare before you pick a flight.
Who Should Book This
This fits SkyMiles holders who can fly in the winter and live near an airport on the list or a Delta hub. If you'd have to transfer Amex points to get the miles, One Mile at a Time says it wouldn't do that for this sale alone, while Thrifty Traveler calls it a good use of transferable points too. Price your route first, and book before October 29 ends.
