Our Take
Delta is marketing this Black Friday sale as “THE SALE OF THE YEAR IS HERE” which—it comes as no surprise—is not the case. We have seen much better deals to Australia in August 2018, and better deals to Europe in June 2018. That being said, there is still some good value to be had with this sale, so it is worth casting your eye over to see if you find an interesting deal.

wish they had se asia,
At least Delta miles don’t expire, but they do devalue – too much in my opinion.
I will pass on these promos but thanks for the info!
Good deals. I like the fact that Delta SkyMiles never expire.
I will skip this one hoping to see better deals
Can’t use this deal now but sure wish I could go to Australia.
$659 round-trip in main cabin to Europe is not a great deal at all, particularly in low season
better than past deals
Perhaps some folks will benefit from this sale on Skymiles. Unfortunately, I will not.
Yet Delta charges 30,000 points most days to go to rural Minnesota domestically.
Delta is certainly my go to airline. that said I could not find any good Business fares to either location.
hoping to see some domestic US deals too! Thanks
Done on miles! Thanks! Now I’ll go to search for Australia-NZ flight sale
I have picked some great discounted mileage redemptions in past. They are always off peak. Forget anything close to holiday or spring break.
It would be worth it to me but it’s unfortunate it is such short notice. Maybe l try to catch another deal in the future.
Just flew International on Delta A330, was a great experience. Nice size seats in economy and check-in was smooth
Despite it not being the biggest sale of the year, it is nice to see a major travel player getting in on Black Friday.
here’s hoping that there are some domestic US sales too!
I guess this promotion is for main cabin only?
Can’t see anything for premium classes.
Premium Select to Australia is as good as it gets unfortunately
Booked my London and Madrid trips for 2019 – thanks!
Wow. Congratulations on being able to maximize this limited time offer! Glad to see the stars align for you.
A few decent options, but have definitely seen better deals as the post noted.
Great stuff
I checked ORD/ZRH for the entire month of June 2019. Best deal was 74,000 miles round trip economy, not a very good deal at all.
great discounts. Thanks Delta.
