When the airline routinely charges $5,000 (or 500,000 SkyMiles), getting a good deal on a Delta One business class seat abroad might seem impossible. But trust us: It can be done!
We routinely find cheap Delta One deals bookable with miles. How cheap? How about 85,000 SkyMiles (or less) to fly a Delta One Suite to Tokyo? Or under 60,000 points to Europe?
The trick for booking deals like these is waiting for a good deal to come to you … and looking at the right destinations. Our team of a dozen flight deal analysts is searching 24/7 to find the best Delta deals for our Thrifty Traveler Premium flight deal alert subscribers, including deals Delta never advertises.
Take a look at just how cheap a Delta One seat can get with miles if you pick the right route.

5. Australia … But Not Sydney, for 102K SkyMiles!
OK, so that's a hair over 100,000 SkyMiles. But it counts.
Getting to Australia and New Zealand takes 14-plus hours on a plane … but booking lie-flat seats with points on those routes is typically a serious challenge. Delta normally charges 400,000 SkyMiles or more for a seat to Sydney (SYD). Flying to a different city in Australia could save you a boatload.
That's right: Just 102,000 SkyMiles to Brisbane (BNE) from nearly 100 U.S. cities, big and small.
That's about as good as it gets for a lie-flat seat to Australia these days. For travelers out there with a boatload of SkyMiles, this sure beats forking over three times as many miles as you normally would.
4. Europe from 97K SkyMiles (Not 400K+)
Seeing rates of 400,000 SkyMiles or more might be the norm for a Delta One redemption to Europe, but we keep finding deals to get you there for a quarter of the price. Literally.
Again and again and again in 2026, we've sent our Thrifty Traveler Premium subscribers alerts to fly Delta across the pond for 97,000 SkyMiles or less. And not just during the dead of winter, but over peak summer!
Here's another one!
3. Morocco & Hong Kong from 85K Each Way
It's a tie for third with a pair of Delta's newest routes.
Delta has only been flying to Hong Kong (HKG) for a few months, and yet we've already found several outstanding deals. Time it right with one of these alerts, and just 85,000 SkyMiles could put you in a Delta One Suite for the 15-hour flight to Hong Kong later this year!
Get this: Delta is now charging 410,000 SkyMiles – or even more – for these exact same flights.
You could score similar savings heading the other way to Marrakech (RAK) in Morocco: Just 170,000 SkyMiles for the roundtrip in Delta One business class!
2. Wait for a Deal to Tokyo … from 80K (Or Less!)
Wind at least a few discounted Delta One deals to Tokyo-Haneda (HND) every year, including this recent gem bookable from 79,000 SkyMiles each way.
That sure beats forking over 400,000-plus SkyMiles, doesn't it?
And that's far from the best deal we've ever found to Tokyo. That honor goes to this gem – and no, this isn't photoshopped.
A few years back, we found this jaw-dropping SkyMiles fare to fly Delta One Suites to Tokyo and back for just 90,000 SkyMiles … roundtrip! It set a record that hasn't been broken since.
While we haven't seen anything quite that cheap in a while,
1. Try Taiwan for Huge Savings
Taipei (TPE) is both an underrated city in Asia and the perfect jumping-off point to visit Thailand, Vietnam, and other destinations throughout Southeast Asia. Bonus: It's the most frequent cities where we find deeply discounted Delta One SkyMiles, like this record-low deal.
How Thrifty Traveler Premium Works
So, how do we find these deals? And, most importantly, how do we let you know about them?
- First, our team of flight deal analysts and experts search from more than 200 U.S. and Canadian airports for the best Delta SkyMiles deals around the clock.
- Second, when we find something good, we vet the deal – making sure that it's bookable, that there's no “catch” or “trap,” and that it's a fare that we would book ourselves.
- Third, we put together a flight deal alert and send it to your inbox – and for the rarest deals, you'll get a “Unicorn Alert” text message, too! You can also log in to your account to see the deal info and any other deals we've sent.
- Fourth: You book the deal! This is what you've been hoarding SkyMiles for – a sizzling deal worth your hard-earned miles.
And that's it! We're not travel agents and we don't work with the airlines. We just find the deals Delta doesn't want you to know about and alert you to them so you can get maximum value out of your stash of miles.
Plus, we offer a 100-day money-back guarantee for first-time subscribers. If you're not loving the deals you get, you can cancel for a full refund – no questions asked!
