Delta Air Lines is enhancing its SkyMiles program, providing travelers with greater value when utilizing their miles for vacations. This initiative makes it easier than ever for SkyMiles Members to earn and redeem miles effectively.
Increased SkyMiles Value for Delta Vacations
Starting this week, SkyMiles will hold at least 15 percent more value when used for Delta Vacations trips, enhancing the overall travel experience. Travelers can use their miles to cover either the entire cost or part of the trip expenses, which includes accommodations, transportation, and various activities.
“We recognize that many travelers earn miles specifically for bucket-list vacations, and we are committed to facilitating an effortless experience for SkyMiles Members to redeem, earn, and plan their dream trips,” stated Kama Winters, president of Delta Vacations.
Earning More Miles with Package Deals
Moreover, SkyMiles members now have the opportunity to earn additional miles and points towards achieving Medallion Status when booking flight packages. Travelers can earn up to 10,000 bonus miles per person for every vacation experience, effectively doubling previous earning potentials.
Diverse Vacation Options Around the World
Delta Vacations provides travelers access to more than 330 destinations across 67 countries, catering to a wide array of vacation styles. Whether you prefer all-inclusive resorts, family-friendly locations, or adventurous ski trips, there is something for everyone. Planning a vacation involves selecting your destination, dates, a hotel, flight, and optional extras such as rental cars or activities (like a chateaux country tour or a food tour during a visit to Paris).
New Benefits for Delta Medallion Members
Furthermore, Delta has revised its Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQD) thresholds for achieving Diamond, Platinum, or Gold Medallion status. However, the requirements for Silver status remain unchanged. The airline has also launched new benefits specifically for Diamond and Platinum members, including a Delta Vacations experience credit of $500 for Diamond members and $400 for Platinum members.
