I see blogs saying I can use 75k round trip delta points to fly JFK-London but whenever I try to book w points on the app it’s 60k one way and 200 dollars. Am I doing it wrong? Should I book on site?

OP, Delta miles are the worst. Blogs will show the equivalent of "saver" awards, which are not easy to find on Delta unless you're extraordinarily flexible with your travel plans and get lucky

Agreed on United. Best availability at saver level. Sky miles are worthless and delta hides their award chart so you never know how much flights will cost. Will never be loyal to them again in large part due to this

United's looking good these days from a miles-perspective, just my two cents

Also have to find the right dates at that price. 200 is London departure tax

I’ve done it a few times and never seen cheaper than 60k miles and 180$

Is there a London departure tax if you go NY-London one way? And I get the 200 fee but why do blogs show screenshots of “round trip 75k” and then I go myself and it’s 75+k one way?

Gotcha, any suggestions for other airlines for domestic US east coast? I’ve already got 200k delta miles and status
