Delta asking for 320k miles for a cross Atlantic delta one is ridiculous. I’ve seen a handful of 80k tickets but they get snatched up

Trick is to have a flexible travel schedule and use the price calendar view to find the cheapest Delta one flight. Or pay for economy ticket and then use miles to upgrade

I recently discovered that not even diamonds can get free upgrades to Delta One in transoceanic flights and I was WTF

Got to use those global upgrade certificates for that.

So are you sticking with Delta? They’re objectively still the most reliable American carrier

Definitely. For the comfort I get flying every week outweighs the “downgrade” from delta one to a cheaper award flight for a personal international vacation maybe once a year
