Tool to search cheapest Delta flight to anywhere?

Hi,

I need one more roundtrip on a skyteam partner to top off my AF status before the new year. As I am in America, Delta seems the best bet. I am in NYC. Is there anyway I can check for the cheapest Delta flight ex JFK going anywhere? I don't care where to flight is to, and it can be a same day return or an overnight trip (I am qualifying based on segments).

Hi,

A couple of options:

Skyscanner:

http://www.skyscanner.net/

or

Farecompare:

Cheers,

The weekend shuttle flights from LGA to DCA or BOS can be cheap.

I recently discovered the farecompare flyertalk tool does not always show the cheapest "to anywhere" flights. on my last search including SMF, OAK, SFO, it gave me the cheapest fare of SMF to Charlotte NC for $226. HOWEVER, using the Delta.com weekly fares sale, I can get SFO to LAX for $99 or SFO to SLC for $119. why it doesn't show up on farecompare I don't know.

currently showing sale on LGA to columbus for $69 each way or JFK to CVG for $79 each way.

If all you are looking for are segments, JFK-PIT is usually only $49 one way if you buy it at least a week in advance. You can also go JFK-DTW-PIT or LGA-DTW-PIT for the same price to pick up an extra segment each way.

Or turn it into a good MR, do JFK-PIT-JFK with a very long (preferably one or two day) layover, then book a separate PIT-anwhere-with-lots-of-segments Itin to get the double spoke MQM's out of PIT.

Otherwise, just do JFK-PIT one way, then a separate PIT-DTW-JFK return to at least get bonus on the return segments.

I don't think that's really important for the OP since he/she wanted to top off his/her AF status. However, PIT-SEA MR is very decent as of now nonetheless. ^
