Flash Sale Availability
I just missed the flash sale yesterday... which is unfortunate because I was planning to go to Salt Lake CIty for a weekend in April, which was one of the sale destinations from New York.
To make myself feel better (or worse), are the flash sale prices normally widespread, or just specific flights / a few days a week?

Sorry if the answer seems trite but Delta's flash sales in scope, pricing and duration are whatever Delta wants them to be. If you see good award pricing take it immediately and use the Risk-Free Cancellation to bail after you have considered the details.

Like Email? I'm signed up for Delta promotions and get notified of the 48-hour flash sales on a monthly basis. They are sent on the second Tue/Wed of the month. If you use Gmail, you can create a label for these and then enable notifications on that labels. The subject line always has "Flash Sale" in it and the sender address is [email protected]

Not sure which specific one of the notifications it is (most likely Fare Sale & Last-Minute Deals). I just have all of them selected.

I also found it from DCA at this price.
Thanks, LBJ for pointing this out.
