Having previously had a fairly rough week in the headlines, Delta finally has some good news to announce with the unveiling of new Monthly SkyMiles Flash Sales, featuring “48 hours of major Award deals to new featured destinations each month.”
The first iteration of the flash sale is running through 11:59 pm EDT August 17, 2016, to destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico, with awards starting at a 35% discount — we think (Without the benefit of an award chart, it can be a touch difficult to discover the “regular” award price).
With only 48 hours to take advantage of the flash sale, now is the time to book a cheap holiday to the sunshine and sandy beaches of Puerto Vallarta, Saint Lucia, or Georgetown.
“One-Way Awards starting at 11,000 miles plus taxes and fees on select flights to the Caribbean.”
The travel period for the flash sale is September 6 through November 16, 2016.

Final Thoughts
Award flights to the Caribbean and Mexico from 11,000 miles + taxes and fees is an exceptional value for Delta. If they plan on offering flash sales to different destinations every month, the Monthly SkyMiles Flash Sales page is worth bookmarking for future reference. With only 48hrs to take advantage of the sale, get in quick so you don't miss out on a discounted award fare to Mexico or the Caribbean.

I used to resent these limited-time sales…but now that I am retired and could be free to go…not so much!
