Another SM Devaluation !?

While pricing a flight with pesos today I was treated to this gem of a purchase screen. Apparently they now want you to pay $1 per mile to redeem Skymiles for Economy now



Math is hard. Kidding.

Happy Friday!

Just to be clear - Delta aka #SkyMilesTeam on FT is saying that SkyMiles are worth ZERO but dollars are wroth a LOT.

I think we all have known that for years now?


The video above really says it all!!!

Technically isn't the above saying that each SkyPeso is worth at least 78 cents given that you'd have to pay over $29000 if you don't use them?

DL is increasing prices to make up for having to now pay tax on jet fuel at ATL. You can thank either the politicians or the NRA or....... <just kidding, I'm not trying to send this thread to OMNI-land>
