I've found myself a few hundred miles short of the next status on Delta. I'm based in ATL and so I just need to find a flight going...anywhere sometime this year.
Is there a tool that would be good for this? Can anyone tell me what the cheapest ATL-anywhere and back trip this year is?
The cheapest I've found by playing around on Delta's site is $301, which seems...terrible.
if you only need a few hundred you can buy them....might be easier
Is there a way to buy them in a quantity less than 2,500? If so, that'd be perfect!
On https://dn.delta.com/skymiles/purchasemqms/buy/landing the lowest I see is 2,500 miles for $395. Which...is better than wasting an afternoon on a $300 flight, but I am a short train ride from the airport, so if I can find a really cheap flight that'd be awesome.
ATL-CLT roundtrip for $152 on the 30th (long layover though). Shorter layover for $222 on multiple dates. Also ATL-PNS for $224 on multiple dates.
LOL...I love the fact that you just described the time at the destination as a "layover" on his MR
Maybe he could actually exit the airport, grab a dinner at a local diner, and call it a "trip" instead of an MR. But the "layover" version probably makes for a better story than the $165 dinner in CLT...
