Update: When the promo first launched some flights were pricing starting at 6,000 miles round trip. Looks like that is a bug that has been fixed and now the lowest fares are 16,000.

Our Verdict
Despite it saying they started at 16,000 there are actually flights that start from 14,000 miles. For example ATL > PLS is 14,000 miles + $92.21 during this sale. Even cheaper is EWR > PLS that seemed to price out at 8,000 miles + $97.81 but that wasn’t a direct flight. If you find anything cheaper, let me know in the comments. BWI to NAS is from 6,00 miles…
It’s also worth remembering that Delta doesn’t publish an award chart anymore so having these sales in my opinion is ridiculous. That being said they do price out less than they normally would and any reason to use up Delta miles is a good one. They also have a sale on domestic flights currently as well. Worth checking to see if you’re targeted for the 75,000 miles + $50 offer as well.
Hat tip to View From The Wing
Managed to get 2 from DFW-STT for 18000 each + $15. Thanks for the heads up William!
….so this was ultimately a pricing error on a special award sale. Roundtrips from 28K, whereas I saw about 10+ different islands from 14K yesterday.
Yup, will update post.
Wow, also bummed that I was searching all prices just jumped. Flights that were 14K are now pricing at 75K! All in a matter of 10 minutes…
Darn, I think they made a mistake and just fixed it. My trip had been pricing at 11K round trip, I delayed booking it, and now I’m only seeing 22K.
Yep, I’m definitely sure. Miles required just doubled across the board.
Maybe the flights just sold out at that price point
I’m seeing this too, in the last 5 minutes everything doubled. I was looking at MSP-ATL-GUA RT for 14K, not all dates are 28K. A few other city pairs all doubled over the 6 week period I was scanning–must be a corrected issue.
Maybe they had everything pricing at one way levels rather than return?
Seems like that must be the case. How many reminders do I need to just book when I see something great and use the 24 hours to decide? 😉
First time poster, long time reader–THANK YOU for all you do on this great website.
My pleasure, somebody else said it’s a glitch so maybe the lower pricing will show again.
No I think It’s a glitch. I’m on the phone with DL now.
I’m seeing PDX-BZE for 14k RT!
I just happen to be tracking a few DL fares on Google flights. All of them jumped substantially with the start of these “sales”. For example, one in F went from $493 to $1492 OW (FLL-YVR). There are very few scattered bargain fares that I can’t use.
I’ve always suspected that these “sales” are for the suckers, and now I’m sure of it. 😀
