Just booked a one way trip to RDU from BWI thru ATL.
Not too bad 40 000 miles for $378. : )

Remember it's one person per flight and it is random.

You might want to take advantage of that risk-free cancellation. Its one pax per flight - not everyone.

Is this Delta's way of recognizing that 40k miles is the new 25k?

I'd quickly use that 24-hour cancellation policy Delta has

Then again, this is being said by the guy that booked a 25k award ticket this afternoon for departure a few hours later

This figures... I have made 4 RT flights to RDU in the past 5 weeks, and this week, I stay at home.

Don't laugh. The article quotes:

"Skrbec says that 40,000 SkyMiles would be enough for a passenger to trade for a free ticket to anywhere domestically."

Reminds me of the song by Brenda Lee and then later Juice Newton: Break It To Me Gently.

On Tuesday I'll be flying DL MKE to Baltimore.

(Another 40,000 miles up the junction!).
