Delta Awards as Low as 5,000 Miles One Way for Summer and Fall Travel
July 30, 2015
Delta is advertising a fare sale for travel from August 6 to December 16, and, in a first, is advertising a concurrent sale on the award prices on the same routes.
There are 29 listed sale routes.
When 5,000 mile awards started in May, I wrote that this was mixed news:
Good: Some awards are 60% cheaper, and hopefully more routes with 5,000 mile award space are added.
Bad: By picking 5k routes on cheapness not distance, Delta is taking a step away from award charts (which it deleted from the internet already) and toward revenue-based redemptions.
Everything You Need to Know about Discounted British Airways Avios Off Peak Awards
May 18, 2015
I'm on record saying that I don't think the British Airways devaluation from last month is a big deal. Only Business and First Class awards went up in price, and the vast majority of good Avios redemptions are short, direct, economy awards.
Well there's another good part of the "devaluation" that I haven't covered yet: the introduction of cheaper off peak awards on British Airways and Iberia flights. Here's the new award chart that shows off peak award prices next to peak award prices.

Off peak awards are only possible on British Airways and Iberia flights.
