A System to Get to Europe with Delta SkyMiles
November 6, 2012
I use three steps to get to my European destination with Delta SkyMiles. For each direction:
Find transatlantic space.
Find domestic space within the US on Delta or Alaska from my home airport to the international gateway.
Find intra-European space to my destination.
Those steps are roughly in order of difficulty--though many times finding domestic space on Delta is impossible at the low-miles price.

Getting to Tahiti with Delta Miles
October 30, 2012
See last week's post on getting to French Polynesia with American miles.
This post will be about getting to French Polynesia–Tahiti, Bora Bora, and more–with Delta SkyMiles. This is an award I get asked to book frequently through my Award Booking Service, and I wanted to share some free tips.
French Polynesia is a French-speaking “overseas country” controlled by France. It is south of Hawaii and east of Australia. The main tourist spots are Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Mo’orea. People go to French Polynesia for the absolutely stunning beach-and-island landscape.
Free First Class Next Month: Using AirFrance.us for Award Searches
September 11, 2012
Hey there, you're reading an outdated post! The updated series from April 2015 can be found here.
This is the twenty-sixth post in a monthlong series that started here. Each post will take about two minutes to read and may include an action item that takes the reader another two minutes to complete. I am writing this for an audience of people who know nothing about frequent flier miles, and my goal is that by the end, you know enough to fly for free anywhere you want to go.
Yesterday, I talked about using delta.com for award searches.
