I wouldn't call it great, per se, but good enough to entice me to finally book award J with DL for the first time in six years.
Most other programs still beat the pants off SM for premium redemption - and this offer at 98k still doesn't meet those programs' regular offerings.

I can't find anything in December at all.
I also can't find anything in January that's on a 330 besides ATL-LHR. I am mainly searching from the southeast and midwest as anything from the northeast is too short. I also am not looking for 767s - looking for either 350s, mod 777s or 330s.
Lots of availability from ATL and MSP to CDG on modded 777s SUITES. Also random availability on the 350 from AMS-DTW and vv in SUITES.
It allows open jaw bookings. And it seems to work anywhere DL flies to directly in Europe.
Anyone find it to CPH (unfortunately on a 767), ATH, or TLV yet? The lowest I found for ATH or TLV was 189K roundtrip.
Also, tickets I booked this morning at 98K roundtrip cost 275K now. Inventory is going fast.

And AA's lowest is 57.5K. 49K each way beats both - especially if you select the right equipment.

I looked yesterday, talked to my wife today, and now literally every single (same) trip we want to take is >250K Sky Pesos.
Either they had a seat here and there, or they sold out those award levels in record time.
Suckage. Complete and total suckage.

Got four(!) tickets at 98k to LHR this spring. I am pleasantly surprised at the availability this time around. I usually don’t find anything during these sales, and rarely more than one or two seats if I do find something.

Agreed. Saw up to 7 seats available in D1 Suites at this price. That's 25% of the cabin!

Check flexible dates. We had to adjust our desired date by one day to find the 98K. In the future, ALWAYS just book. Even if you are not DM you have 24 hours. Even if you are not sure where you want to go, just book into AMS or CDG and then buy a cheap Y ticket from there to wherever you are going.

Just checked again and looks like a lot less availability than just a few hours ago. I noticed the sale from a targeted Facebook add earlier today and then went and booked right away. I wonder how many others did the same.

Plenty of availability from ATL and MSP to CDG in February. CDG is close to BRU and the D1 suites versus 767? Not even a choice.

Found lots of availability from MKE. Had a couple ready to go, just need to get the Mrs. to choose AMS on 330 or BRU on 767.
Those are close enough to each other I guess either one would work.
Found good flights to MAD also. For me and my dates (April) found a lot more options than the last 98k sales (which we did find flights for MUC).

I would not delay. Book the AMS one now. It will be gone by the time Mrs decides.
Anyone find anything into CPH, TLV, or ATH at all?
