The Cheapest Delta One Deals We’ve Ever Seen (Ranked)

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 – like 85,000 SkyMiles to fly a Delta One Suite to Tokyo or under 60,000 points to Europe. How? Well, 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. 

And we're finding more and more every week – including tons of deals that Delta would prefer to keep a secret. Take a look at just how cheap a Delta One seat can get with miles. 

1. Tokyo for 90K SkyMiles … Roundtrip!

We saved the best for first. And no, that's not photoshopped. 

A few years back, we found this jaw-dropping SkyMiles fare to fly Delta One Suites to Tokyo-Haneda (HND) and back for just 90,000 SkyMiles … roundtrip! It set a record that hasn't been broken since.

Fortunately, we still find plenty of Delta One deals to Tokyo, including this recent gem bookable from 85,000 SkyMiles each way.

That sure beats forking over 400,000-plus SkyMiles, doesn't it? 

2. Delta One to Europe from 48K Points

Sometimes, the cheapest way to fly Delta One isn't using SkyMiles at all. Even when Delta is charging 400,000 SkyMiles or more to Europe, you can book those exact same flights for a fraction of the points using one of Delta's partner airlines: Air France/KLM, whose points you can earn by transferring from major banks like Chase, Amex, and others.

The trick is finding flights you can actually book at those rates, then knowing which points to use to get the best deal possible. We cover all that in every alert. 

Booking a lie-flat Delta One seat to Europe … during the middle of summer … for under 50,000 points? Yes, please! 

3. Australia for 102K SkyMiles

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. So we were thrilled with these discounted SkyMiles fares of 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 twice as many miles as you normally would.

4. Delta One Suites to Taiwan for 83K

Taipei (TPE) is both an underrated city in Asia and the perfect jumping-off point for Thailand, Vietnam, and other destinations in Southeast Asia. Bonus: It's one of the most frequent cities where we find deeply discounted Delta One SkyMiles, like this record-low deal. 

5. Delta One to Hong Kong for 94K

Delta hasn't even started flying to Hong Kong (HKG) yet, and we already found a record-setting deal. Just 94,000 SkyMiles could put you in a Delta One Suite for the 15-hour flight to Hong Kong later this year! 

The Rest of the Top 10

Not every deal can crack the top five, but we've found so many outstanding Delta One deals that we decided to showcase a few more. 

6. 97K SkyMiles to Athens

Getting to Greece is notoriously pricey even in economy, let alone business class. So this deal we found, flying Delta One nonstop to Athens (ATH), was a close contender for the top five. 

7. Marrakech, Morocco for 170K SkyMiles RT

Just weeks after announcing it would fly nonstop to Marrakech (RAK), we found these excellent roundtrip fares to get you there in a Delta One seat. 

8. Europe from 170K SkyMile Roundtrip

We find cheap Delta One SkyMiles fares to Europe four or five times per year at rates like 170,000 SkyMiles roundtrip. But considering Delta normally charges 500,000 SkyMiles or more, those deals still merit a spot on this list. 

9. Biz Class to Chile for 130K SkyMiles RT

We routinely find solid Delta deals to Santiago (SCL) in Chile, and for flights that can be longer than a trip to Europe, you want the fancy Delta One Suite. But at just 130,000 SkyMiles to get there and back, this one was the best yet.

10. Delta One to Peru under $1,999 RT

This Delta One sale to Lima (LIM), Peru, blew our minds. Dozens of U.S. cities connecting to Atlanta (ATL) for a Delta One ride long-haul down to LIM all for less than $2,000 roundtrip! It's first class or lie-flat the whole way – what's not to love?

• 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.
