One-Way SkyMiles Award Travel on Delta Air Lines? The Definitive Thread
I was wondering if Delta offers one-way mileage rewards? Looking to book a one-way reward from Europe to NA if it is possible.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Sure... but its the same mileage as the round trip award. 
That is the exact answer that SMS gave me when I was looking to book a one way LGA-LAS with SkyMiles.

Another semi-related annoyance is that if if you can get one of your legs with a SkySaver award, but for the other one you need SkyChoice, you need to use the SkyChoice rates for the entire trip. If they had one way rates (even if you still had to book a roundtrip), you could atleast save some mileage.

Is there hope of a change for the better in the proposed 3-way partnership?

One-Way Awards
Can you use your miles to purchase a one-way award (for say 12.5k)? I only saw 25k awards (and higher) on the DL web site. tls

No.
As you look at the list of awards, you will not find anything like this. If I remember right, the old charts used to say one way or RT for 20k or 25k, depending on the age. In any event, they made it clear then that one way costs the same.
Sorry.

I can't remember which, but several years ago,either Delta or Northwest (I *think* it was NW) did offer OW award tickets, for a lessened amount...maybe it was 12.5K.
Not at all sure which, but it is definitely gone now. And, like you, I wonder why. Maybe not enough folk requesting them, so they decided to save on bookkeeping?

New One-way Mileage Award to/from Atlanta
From a contact at Delta...
"For a limited time, customers may book a one-way award ticket for travel between Atlanta and select cities in the U.S. for 15,000 miles. Passengers may originate in Atlanta or at any of the 48 select airports for travel between Sept. 15 and March 31, 2004. If the itinerary qualifies, the award ticketing process will automatically select this special award code - *D115*. Customers who wish to travel round-trip may use the Atlanta one-way fall and winter sale fares and in a separate reservation, may use this one-way award. An email is being sent out to certain SkyMiles members in the selected markets and additional advertisement is planned via radio in the Atlanta area later in the month."

This is to match AirTran's new one-way award they offer after four roundtrips in coach (or 2.5 in Business Class). I guarantee you that the 48 cities are AirTran's airports plus surrounding LAX and SFO (AirTran starts flying to SFO in November.)
