Delta is back with another flash award sale, this time with deals on flights across the United States, to the Caribbean, Europe, South America, and beyond. If you're planning travel for later in 2026 and want to see as much of the world as possible, this sale is worth considering.
And the prices are pretty good by Delta standards. Plus, remember that you can book for 15% fewer SkyMiles if you have an eligible Delta credit card. Just don't wait too long; the booking window closes on June 25, 2026.
Delta Flash Award Sale Details
Delta's flash sale is on the table through June 25, 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.
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 exhaustive, some of the best deals are for flights within the U.S. and to the Caribbean, Europe, and South America. There's no official travel window, as the discounted dates are spread throughout Delta's booking calendar.
You can view a list of deals after selecting your origin airport, but it's worth checking individual routes since the advertised pricing is often higher than the rates you'll see after clicking “Book.”
And if your home airport isn't listed, don't worry. You may still find discounted routes by searching manually.
Here are some examples of round-trip flights on sale:
- Los Angeles, CA (LAX) to Los Cabos, Mexico (SJD) in Delta Main Basic from 11,200 miles + $168
- 9,520 miles after the 15% cardholder discount
- Las Vegas, NV (LAS) to Frankfurt, Germany (FRA) in Delta Main Basic from 40,000 miles + $176
- 34,000 miles after the 15% cardholder discount
- Boston, MA (BOS) to Zurich, Switzerland (ZRH) in Delta Main Basic from 40,000 miles + $73

- Atlanta, GA (ATL) to Nice, France (NCE) in Delta Main Basic from 40,000 miles + $109

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 June 25, 2026, (or as soon as possible) to take advantage of discounted rates.
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.
