ADVICE

Delta SkyMiles Value

  • Use Delta SkyMiles for award flights when you can get over 1.3 cents per point in value, especially with the 15% discount.
  • This discount only applies to Delta flights, not partner airlines booked through Delta.
INSIGHT

EQDs on Award Flights

  • Delta SkyMiles award flights do contribute to elite qualifying dollars (EQDs).
  • While the 15% discount only applies to Delta metal flights, EQD accrual may work for partner flights booked through Delta.
ADVICE

Companion Ticket Strategy

  • Use the Delta Platinum companion ticket for valuable flights to destinations like Hawaii, Alaska, the Caribbean, and Central America.
  • Be aware that the companion ticket requires specific fare classes, which may not always be available.
