Where Delta SkyMiles Really Shine
October 26, 2022
While some have criticized the Delta SkyMiles program for its less-than-great mileage options, they do offer some inexpensive domestic award flights that make using this program worthwhile. On top of that, Delta is a member of SkyTeam Alliance, meaning you can redeem your SkyMiles with any SkyTeam Alliance member. These airlines include:
Aerolíneas ArgentinasITA AirwaysAeromexicoKenya AirwaysAir EuropaKLMAir FranceKorea AirChina AirlinesMiddle East AirlinesChina EasternSaudiaCzech AirlinesTAROMDelta Air LinesVietnam AirlinesGaruda IndonesiaXiamenAir
Unfortunately, Delta was one of the first airlines to get rid of its public award chart and change to a dynamic pricing system for award flights.

Best Ways to Book Delta Flights with Chase Ultimate Rewards
May 12, 2021
You might have noticed that the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or the Chase Sapphire Reserve® get recommended a lot in the points and miles community. There’s a good reason for that.
Rewards earned with these cards can be transferred to a number of airline and hotel loyalty programs, making it possible to book all kinds of travel for free (or almost free).
If you’re a Delta Air Lines flyer, you might think the cards offer little value to you because Chase doesn’t partner with Delta SkyMiles. However, don’t dismiss the Sapphire-branded cards so quickly.
