I wondered if I was the only person I found this Sale hysterical. I live in Atlanta, I can almost drive to Chattanooga in less time than I can drive to the Atlanta airport. Why would I waste my miles on this stupid flight

Need more 98k D1 to Europe deals.
I was really hoping for something 'good' this month, but may be the lamest yet.
(Ok, can't complain too much as I've gotten some awesome value in the last 18 months or so, but this one really is, um... meh)

DL had a real chance to give a deal to its ATL hub-captives who are already overcharged.
Instead they reminded us how badly they overcharge us... money or miles.

Pretty good deal. Of course you have to travel mid-week to get the best prices.

Just booked a 34K PDX-SEA-NRT and return in February. Not sure if I'll actually go, but have been thinking about making a ski trip to Japan this winter and have a free week. At 34K miles its a pretty good use of miles.

I fly SEA to ICN regularly and have been meaning to stop over in Japan to ski as well - sounds like you scored an awesome deal...

BTW, I would love to see monkeys in the wild using hot springs in the snow. To me, this is one of the iconic wildlife pictures.

Hokkaido is the ski destination and you need to fly into CTS (Sapporo) to get to the Japanese Alps... That's what I want to plan for but I'm sure you don't get the crazy deal noah got to get to Japan to that airport - he probably could get a low cost flight from NRT to CTS and possibly check out Tokyo for a few days while he's at it. Looks like you can find NRT to CTS roundtrip in Feb for under $200 - so it's still a great deal...

True, but I've heard that the flights to Sapporo can be full at certain times of the year, which I assume would include ski season as well as domestic holiday periods.
