Delta summer promo: Round-trip flights to Asia starting at 37,400 SkyMiles, plus more deals

Attention, travel enthusiasts: Delta SkyMiles has launched a limited-time SkyMiles promotion on both domestic and international fares. However, don’t wait to plan your trip — you must book by Aug. 29 to snag one of these lucrative deals.

So, if you’ve struggled to get more than a cent in value for each of your Delta SkyMiles, here’s your chance with Delta Air Lines’ new summer promotion.

You can view all of the offers included in Delta’s new Beyond the Summer Event promotion at this special landing page. There, you can search by origin airport and destination region to find qualifying flights. Unfortunately, only basic economy and Main Cabin seats are included in this offer, so Delta’s infamous business-class seats to Europe for 300,000-plus miles are not included in this promotion.

However, the promotion does include economy seats for routes across Delta’s worldwide network. Travel dates vary from country to country as follows:

• Flights to Japan: Oct. 2, 2024, to March 15, 2025
• Flights to China: Oct. 2 to Nov. 30, 2024
• Flights to Australia and New Zealand: Oct. 2, 2024, to Feb. 28, 2025
• Flights to French Polynesia: Oct. 29, 2024, to Feb. 28, 2025
• Flights to Taiwan and South Korea: Sept. 1, 2024, to Nov. 15, 2024
• Flights to Europe: Nov. 1, 2024, to March 8, 2025

Some blackout dates apply to each region — check the landing page for more details.

The new promotion offers round-trip domestic flights, including New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Miami International Airport (MIA), from just 9,000 miles plus $12 in fees and taxes. With various loyalty programs recently increasing the cost of domestic flights, booking a one-way flight for under 9,000 miles is a terrific offer.

If you’re looking to travel internationally, you can snag round-trip basic economy flights from JFK to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) in January for as low as 30,000 miles plus $102 in taxes and fees. It’s worth noting that cash fares to Europe in January are typically very affordable during this off-peak travel month.
