Attention, travel lovers: Delta SkyMiles has launched a limited-time SkyMiles promotion on both domestic and international flights. But don't wait to plan your trip: You'll need to book by August 29th to grab this great deal.
So if you're struggling to get more than a cent per Delta SkyMiles mile, Delta's new summer promotion is your chance.
All of the offers included in Delta's new “Beyond the Summer Event” promotion can be found on this special landing page, where you can search by departure airport and destination region to find eligible flights. Unfortunately, the offer only includes Basic Economy and Main Cabin seats, and Delta's famous Business Class seats to Europe, which cost over 300,000 miles, are not included in this promotion.

This new promotion is offering domestic round-trip tickets from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Miami International Airport (MIA) for just 9,000 miles (plus $12 in fees and taxes). With various loyalty programs increasing the cost of domestic flights recently, being able to book a one-way ticket for under 9,000 miles is a fantastic perk.
If you're thinking about traveling internationally, you can get a round-trip basic economy flight from JFK to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) in January for just 30,000 miles plus $102 in taxes and fees. It's worth noting that cash fares to Europe in January are usually very affordable during this off-peak travel month.
