New Delta Award Sale: Africa for 64K Roundtrip & Discounted Cash Fares

Delta Award Sale Africa

You say Award and I’ll say Sale. Award….Sale…..Award……SALE! While I have long been indifferent at best towards the SkyMiles program, I do have to admit that many of their award sales have been quite good lately if they work within your needs/schedule. Let’s take a look at their latest.

The Offer

From deep-sea diving to desert treks, there’s no place like Africa. Grab a great deal to select destinations across this beautiful continent when you book by November 7, 2018, for travel between January 10 and March 19, 2019.

Analysis

While Delta used to only charge 30K one-way as a Saver to Africa, the days of a published award chart are long gone. Most other carriers charge around 40K one-way, meaning that the 64K-70K fares can be a decent value. If this sale works within your plans, then it could be good. The key to any Delta award sale is to have a need within the narrow scope of the sale. Some will complain, but it’s a way to cash out those old Skypesos for a decent value.
