Delta is back with another flash award sale, this time with deals on flights from U.S. hubs to Asia and the Pacific. If you're planning your 2026 travel and want to see as much of the world as possible, this sale is worth considering.
And the prices are fantastic by Delta standards — rates start around 30,000 SkyMiles round-trip, or 15% fewer SkyMiles if you have an eligible Delta credit card. However, you'll need to act quickly, as the booking window closes on March 26, 2026.
Here are the deals we've found that you might want to book before award availability dries up.
Delta Flash Award Sale Details
Delta's flash sale ends on March 26, 2026, so you don't have much time to act. Plus, availability tends to get snapped up pretty quickly, so you'll want to book as soon as possible if this sale piques your interest. Like most other Delta sales, the cheapest pricing applies to Delta-operated flights only, and only some Delta destinations have been put on sale.
The cheapest rates are on Delta Main Basic tickets, so you should be keenly aware of the limitations of booking one of these tickets before making your reservation.
Here's what's on sale now
While this list isn't exclusive, the best new deals are for flights to Taipei. Luckily, this sale isn't only for those based on the West Coast — we're seeing some great rates on flights departing from across the country. Availability is very spread out, with deals in April 2026 through January 2027.
You can find the complete list of routes here after entering your origin, but it's worth checking each individual route as the advertised pricing is often higher than when you click on “Book.”

- Auckland, New Zealand (AKL)
- Brisbane, Australia (BNE)
- Hong Kong (HKG)
- Melbourne, Australia (MEL)

Stack With the Delta TakeOff 15 Card Benefit to Save Even More
Delta SkyMiles co-branded credit cardholders can save an extra 15% on award bookings for flights operated by Delta Air Lines. We've seen these savings passed on to award flights found in this award sale, which is welcome news.
Eligible cardholders must save their co-branded card to their SkyMiles profile to take advantage of this benefit. Once you've saved the card to your SkyMiles profile, the 15% discount will appear on eligible itineraries when searching for SkyMiles awards.

Boost Your SkyMiles Balance
If you need to top off your SkyMiles balance to book one of these awards, you have plenty of options. You can buy Delta miles, but you could also move points from any of these sources to Delta SkyMiles:
Bottom Line
Delta's flash sale will disappear almost as suddenly as it arrived. In other words, you need to book by March 26, 2026, (or as soon as possible) to take advantage of discounted rates. It's not very often you can grab round-trip Delta flights to Asia and the Pacific from 30,000 SkyMiles (or less), so this is a special opportunity.
However, don't move so fast that you overlook which cabin you book your tickets in; the cheapest rates are for basic economy, which has plenty of limitations.
