Is 38K Skymiles a good price for RT Atlanta to London Heathrow? Economy tix. The actual cost of the ticket not using miles is $981 USD.

Yep. That’s about as good as it gets for Europe trips.

As a rule of thumb, any value over 1.5 cents per point is usually a decent redemption. Here you’re getting almost 2.6 cents per point which is pretty incredible for an economy fare.

$900 round trip or one way? If the former, I’d say yes - about $50/hr for biz (incl. virgin clubhouse at LHR). Latter, not so much.

That’s a .02 $/mile conversion which seems pretty good. Reading online each delta mile is worth .01

We want to do a quick stop in London before continuing on. It’s always so expensive there! 😖 Wanted to make sure we’re getting the best deal.

Also, is Delta One worth the upgrade? $900, which would take ticket to $1100 total + 38K miles.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
