Here's a "for instance"

I have 340K NWA miles to burn before the Delta merger devalues them. So, just for grins, I looked for Award flights between Seattle and Dublin, Paris and Rome.

Guess what? I found that I could get the outbound flight (it's available), for 25K and get the return for 25K miles. I could also land in Dublin, fly to Rome and return from Rome and it was only 12,500 more. This was for Aug-Sept timeframe. And I didn't have to search very hard. I also tried multiple dates and still found "available" flights, using miles only.

I wonder if one can get Delta flights (I mean actually available) from Seattle to any of these three destinations for only 50K miles (yes 50; not 60).

PS: Delta saying it's possible and actually having them available, are two entirely different things.

Taking a few minutes to look ... SEA-DUB has decent availability the end of September (not earlier).

Lots of SEA-CDG throughout the two months. I priced 9-23 Sep and it came out to 50k miles using CO flights. SEA-FCO had a couple of flights, not much.

SEA-CDG//FCO-SEA was ok outbound but no returns in August (although September was ok. A 26 Aug - 9 Sep trip priced out as 50k miles as well.

You're lucky you can find flights. I've been been checking the last few days, and find almost no CO flights or US-BKK flights.
