I am booking a multi city trip to europe. I don't have enough skymiles to cover the whole ticket BUT I would like to apply what I've got to reduce my fare. The thing is the Delta site doesn't seem capable of letting me do that. So- Can I do that and if so HOW>??????
Dynamic Award Pricing - that was the terminology I was looking for to describe SkyMiles and a handful of other FFP's, thanks! And it's always in multiples of 500 (i.e. 5,500). Southwest Airlines has a similar pricing but even more dynamic in that the price depends on the cash fare of that same flight on that same day. Now that one, I wouldn't know the right term for LOL! - Red
Between 2012-2018 I could buy a one way ticket from LAX to SEA and one back each for 5,000 miles. A round trip would cost me 20,000 miles, so strange. I don't fly that any longer but I wonder if it is still the same.
The idea of sky miles is somewhat misleading. The distance between you and your destination never changes but the amount of miles needed will. So then they are not really a measure of a true unit of distance. They are just a proxy for dollars. Or to look at it another way, the sky mile is 5,280 feet on Monday but on Tuesday it's only 2,000 feet. Lol
when you book a flight with Virgin Atlantic you get Sky Club miles? Do you also get MQD for Delta Status for being partner with Delta? is that Automatic or do you give your skymiles and you wont receive any Sky Club miles?
Give your skymiles but you can send a request to Delta if you weren't credited within a certain time period. Many of the primary partners get MQDs based on a percentage(% based on class and airline) of the total distance. Example fly 1000 miles on KLM economy and like 20% of that would be your credited MQD's.
Even though Air Europa is skyteam you ca not earn skymiles on them or thru check your bags on air europa. We flew crom dallas to tenerife last year. Delta from DAL-MIA 4 hr connection in MIA then MIA-TFN. Delta would not thru check are bags nor give us skyteam miles on air europa.
No. Here's your tip: Fly a different airline if you want worthwhile miles. Delta has made their award system worthless--just like everything else Delta touches.
"Flash sales" don't mean you actually get on a plane within a week - or even within a month. Oftentimes, they're for travel 4-6+ months in advance. They're called flash sales because they're unpredictable when they pop up, and typically don't last too long at the low SkyMiles rates.

Too bad their phone wait times are over 6 hours when I needed them most. Then chat never happened either. Why fly Delta?

You can’t use sky miles for Europe either 😆
the first point he made about being flexible tell you indeed sky miles are worthless
Flash sales? Oh yeah, let me just give my employer a weeks notice for my dream vacation.

@@thriftytraveler Oh yeah, let me just pay my apartment and not stay in it, so I can rent a hotel equal to my rent.
Mr. Rochester Find a cheaper hotel, do a shorter vacation, or don’t travel period. Simple.
@@marcuswright9 yeah, exactly, I don’t travel.
@@mr.rochester1857 Then why the fuck are you watching a video about air travel
Delta pesos lol that’s so racist.
Agreed. And yet some people still use that term all the time.
How is it racist? Pesos are not known for their high value. Pesos are a currency not a race. Would calling them Weimar dollars be racist too?
Dude did poor job explaining. Delta miles uses.
