Want award alerts like this one, plus cheap domestic and international cash fares? Thrifty Traveler Premium+ members get it all – try it for just $5.99 a month!

This is unbelievable. We've never seen SkyMiles rates this low for a quick domestic trip, let alone for the long flights to Alaska. While award rates are all over the map, Delta typically charges 30,000 SkyMiles or more for flights to Alaska. Some peak summer availability has dried up since we first sent this alert to Thrifty Traveler Premium+ members yesterday – and Delta began emailing some SkyMiles members about it a few hours later.

But whether you're flying nonstop from a major Delta hub or starting from a smaller regional airport, you shouldn't have a problem snagging flights for 10,000 SkyMiles or less. Many of these flights are selling for $280 to as much as $500 or more, making it an absolutely stellar way to use your SkyMiles for maximum value. Keep reading for the full (and enormous) list of available cities!

For example, here's a look at flights from Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) to Fairbanks (FAI) in the thick of summer. Nonstops available every single day!

Thrifty Tip: Use Delta's price calendar to get a five-week view and find the lowest rates. Some city pairs won't have low availability until late summer or early fall.

In some cases, you can score an even better deal flying into smaller Alaskan airports like Ketchikan (KTN), Sitka (SIT), or Juneau (JNU).

The lowest rates are for Delta's basic economy awards, which come without seat selection and (more importantly) cannot be changed or canceled. So it's easily worth the additional 2,000 to 4,000 SkyMiles to get a main cabin fare. You can easily cancel these tickets online and get your miles back free! Even if you're That's why we think SkyMiles are one of the best ways to book

Even flights from all the way across the country are bookable starting at just 10,000 SkyMiles in basic economy – or 12,000 total for a main cabin award. And thanks to a new status promotion, you'll even earn a boatload of Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) toward Delta status on these fares booked with SkyMiles.

Alaska is having a serious moment this summer as people look to return to travel but aim to stay outdoors. And you won't have to worry about testing or other travel requirements: Alaska dropped almost all entry requirements earlier this year.

So airlines are responding with tons of new flights into Anchorage, Fairbanks, and beyond for the summer. Alaska Airlines responded by branching out beyond its usual haunts, including new nonstop summer flights between Anchorage and Minneapolis. Alaska, Delta, and other carriers are battling it out with ultra-low prices.

How to Earn Delta SkyMiles

Unless you’ve already got SkyMiles burning a hole in your pocket, it's probably too late to earn the miles you need to book this sale. But it’s never too late to earn more SkyMiles for the next great flash sale around the corner.

From the entry-level Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card to the top-tier Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card, Delta’s suite of co-branded Amex cards allows you to earn up to 50,000 SkyMiles (terms apply). But we've seen even bigger bonuses on these cards, so it may be worth waiting.

Instead, look to the non-Delta Amex cards that earn Membership Rewards Points.You can easily transfer Amex points from the Platinum Card® from American Express or the American Express® Gold Card straight to your Delta SkyMiles account.

Bottom Line

There is no bottom to how cheap these SkyMiles flash sales can get.

While Delta gets a bad rap for unpredictable award pricing and others call SkyMiles worthless, these flash sales just keep getting better and better. Paying 5,000 to 10,000 SkyMiles for roundtrip flights to Alaska this summer is unheard of. It's easily one of the best flash sales we've found – and that's saying something.
