Say it with us: Delta SkyMiles are not worthless! And this Delta SkyMiles flash sale is the latest reminder.
From Scranton to Santa Ana, dozens and dozens of American airports big and small are included in this latest Delta SkyMiles flash sale to Madrid (MAD) and Barcelona (BCN), with rates as low as 32,000 SkyMiles roundtrip – less than half the normal cost! Best of all, you can hitch a ride to Spain for cheap this fall or all the way through February 2022.
Thrifty Traveler Premium members got this alert first, but there's still some solid availability out there for you to book your trip for as low as 32,000 SkyMiles roundtrip – and generally under 40,000 SkyMiles nationwide.

Travel to Europe may seem uncertain these days as more countries tighten restrictions on American travelers. But Spain remains open to Americans today – at least most of them. Along with France and several other countries, Spain now requires either proof of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19 for entry.

But part of the beauty of booking with SkyMiles is that all of these fares are fully refundable. That means you can book a trip at these dirt-cheap rates now, then cancel and get all your SkyMiles (and taxes and fees) back for free.
Not to mention, all these fares are main cabin economy fares – not Delta basic economy. So no need to worry about picking your seat or paying to check a bag; it's all free with these tickets.
And thanks to an ongoing promotion from Delta, you’ll even earn a boatload of Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) towards Delta elite status with these award fares booked using SkyMiles. For example, a flight from Chicago-O'Hare (ORD) to Barcelona (BCN) later this year would cost you just 32,000 SkyMiles – and you’d earn almost 14,000 MQMs toward Delta status too!
At 32,000 SkyMiles roundtrip, these flights are available for less than half the 70,000 SkyMiles (or more!) Delta and other airlines typically charge for transatlantic flights. While you'll only find nonstop flights to Madrid and Barcelona out of New York City (JFK), you can fly from almost any U.S. city with Delta service nationwide at these rates.
When we say nationwide, we mean nationwide. Big cities like Los Angeles (LAX), New York City, Boston (BOS), and Chicago-O'Hare (ORD) can get flights to Spain for this cheap. But there are equally cheap rates from small towns like Appleton, Wisconsin (ATW), Destin, Florida (VPS), Hibbing, Minnesota (HIB), Minot, North Dakota (MOT), and many, many more.
Spain is a magical country with amazing food, cheap wine, and amazing sights no matter where you go. Check out our guide to must-dos in Madrid and seven can't-miss-spots in Barcelona.
