Redeeming Delta SkyMiles
Delta SkyMiles offer the best value when redeemed for award flights. Prices for award flights can vary greatly depending on the routing and carrier. The best way to determine how many SkyMiles your ticket will cost is to use Delta’s award flight booking tool.
Delta SkyMiles can also be redeemed towards seat upgrades, Delta gift cards, and Delta Vacations, albeit at a lesser value than award flight bookings.
