Our Take
50,000 SkyMiles round-trip to Australia is a steal, and if your travel plans included Australia this fall you might want to give this promotion some serious consideration. Remember if you need a little top-up to your Delta SkyMiles account, you can transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Delta at a ratio of 1:1 and transfers are typically instant.

This is an incredible deal for those who can take advantage of it. I have been to Australia twice, both times in economy class, so it is doable, but next time, it will be in a lie flat seat. Even at this “price”, I’m not willing to stay cramped in an economy seat for that long.
Australia sounds like a nice place to visit, or live for half a year. But, damn, it’s a long trip.
In comparison with many European Union countries. airport taxes and fees in Australia and New Zealand are rather low at the moment.
Considering Australia is not a cheap destination this is a fantastic offer in my opinion.
Agreed this is a great sale. And, as always, your are spot on with your reminder that you can top up with an instant transfer!
That’s a great deal. Low-ish taxes as well.
Is there a cheap way to collect some points – besides Amex?
Plenty of ways: https://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/skymiles/how-to-earn-miles.html
great deal… wish they would offer more biz deals like this
Pretty nice deal, but I wouldn’t subject myself to that long of a flight in Delta’s economy class! Too bad Delta never even offers close-in deals on business class.
It also seems that in the past, DL makes big discounts like this before or after another one of their no-notice devaluations.
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH 😉
Please don’t say that!
Good value for Skypesos. Wish I had time to take advantage!
What a great promo; too bad I have other plans!
Wish I had the time to go. Great deal.
Check the key terms. According to Delta’s website, the travel period for this promo is August – December 2018 rather than 2019. I don’t think you can book more than a year in advance through their website.
That was a typo; just fixed it.
That is really a steal.
Great deal. Even though Australia is lovely, it is a bit far from NYC.
Great spot, a nice use for the amount of miles.
Wow, good to know.
