Delta has unofficially launched a new award sale, and we're seeing great deals on flights from the United States to London and a couple of other European destinations starting at 34,000 SkyMiles. While the award availability is limited to economy reservations, this sale could be an excellent way to get some value out of your SkyMiles. And those round-trip prices

Here are the deals we've found that you might want to book before seats disappear.

Promotion Details

Although unadvertised, Delta has made many economy seats available at a discount, with most ranging between 40,000–60,000 SkyMiles round-trip. You can find deals on many routes Delta flies between the United States and London. There appear to be discounts on other European routes, such as New York to Zurich, but more cost-effective options exist.

Availability stretches into early 2024, which is helpful for those who want to plan a trip but can't leave on a moment's notice.

Since the promotion doesn't list an end date, there's no way of telling how long the space will be available at current prices. If you want to take advantage of this promotion, book sooner rather than later.

Route Highlights

While this list isn't exclusive, most deals are on routes between the United States and London. There are flight options from regional airports that qualify for the discounts, which is helpful for those who don't live near a Delta hub.
