When it comes to Delta SkyMiles deals, when it rains, it pours. And folks, it's absolutely pouring deals to Tokyo, Seoul, and beyond for flights later this year or early next.
Delta apparently missed the memo that they should be raising fares everywhere because we've found a trio of unbelievable Delta SkyMiles flash sales. And not just in economy, but at some of the cheapest rates we've seen to fly Delta One Suites overseas in years!
It all started with this Delta One Suites deal to Tokyo-Haneda (HND), with fares starting at just 127,000 SkyMiles each way this summer as well next winter. While that's certainly not the cheapest business class fare to Tokyo in the world, it stands out compared to Delta's normal rates of 400,000 SkyMiles or more – especially considering booking business class on any carrier using points has gotten harder in the last year or two.
Los Angeles (LAX) flyers got the best fare at 127,500 miles and $5.60 when you have a Delta credit card and its automatic TakeOff 15 discount. But travelers from all over the U.S. could get in on the action with some nearly half-off SkyMiles rates on these fancy suites, too!
Delta almost never advertises its best sales like these – and even when they do, it's usually hours or even days after they post the best fares. This was no exception: Most travelers in Eugene (EUG) or Spokane (GEG) would never have known about these fares unless they subscribed to our Thrifty Traveler Premium flight deal alerts.
That was just the start. Just this morning, we found these even lower fares flying Delta One Suites to Seoul (ICN). At rates as low as just 89,000 SkyMiles each way, it's the cheapest Delta One SkyMiles deal to South Korea we've seen in more than two years!
Best of all: This deal included nearly nationwide availability flying across the Pacific! Delta hub captives in Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) might be accustomed to seeing higher rates, but not here: They got the best deal of the bunch!
If close to 100,000 SkyMiles or more is too rich for your blood, we found something that can get you to Asia and back for much, much less. This SkyMiles Flash Sale to Taipei (TPE) offered the cheapest mileage rates I've ever seen to Asia – hands down.
That's a roundtrip flight to Asia for just over 25,000 SkyMiles – cheaper than most flights to Atlanta (ATL)! It's one of the craziest deals I've seen in almost five years of finding cheap fares – and you don't have to live in Seattle (SEA) to take advantage, either!
Nearly every Delta city in the country offered the same sub-40,000 SkyMile rate for roundtrip flights to Taipei – a sizzling deal that almost any Delta flyer can afford! Again, it gets even cheaper for flyers with a Delta co-branded SkyMiles card thanks to the automatic 15% discount.
Bottom Line
It started with Delta One Suites deals to Tokyo and Seoul from just 89,000 SkyMiles each way, and then came possibly the deal of the year: 25,000-SkyMile roundtrip flights to Taipei!
But the most important question is: What will Delta do next? We'll be watching!
