- Delta has a SkyMiles award sale for flights to and from the US booked by tomorrow night:
– Mexico and the Caribbean: 11,000 miles round-trip
– Asia and the Pacific: 70,000 miles round-trip
Both of these are economy prices, and only the first is competitive relative to other programs. For Diamonds with global upgrade certificates, Premium Select fares are also pricing lower than typical, but still too high relative to other mileage programs. - You can now book flights on Taipei based Starlux Airlines with Alaska MileagePlan miles. Flights are decently priced (or “collapsed economy cheap” compared to Delta, see above):
– 20,000 miles each way to Asia in Coach
– 40,000 miles each way to Asia in Premium Economy
– 60,000 miles each way to Asia in Business
(Thanks to DDG) - Aeroplan now lets you change an itinerary online. I think you’re in exactly one of two-camps about this news:
– Boring (If you’ve never called Aeroplan’s call center)
– Fan-freaking-tastic (If you have called Aeroplan’s call center)
Currently it only works with bookings that don’t involve vouchers or credits, but my assumption is that’s the majority of your Aeroplan bookings.
Delta’s inspiration for SkyMiles premium cabin bookings.
