Can I use my Delta Skymiles to get a free roundtrip ticket internationally?

Question

I'm having trouble finding the info for it on their website. How many miles would I need to get a free roundtrip flight?

Answer 1

I have a cousin who just got her international round-trip ticket through Delta Skymiles.  It was a lot though - over 150,000 miles.  I'm thinking 175k or maybe even 200k.

Answer 2

Yes you can use your miles to fly anywhere Delta services. That also includes any of it's partners that participate in Skyteam. Depending on where you are going there are different award mileage levels based on availability. To Europe the FIRST level would be 50,000 skymiles roundtrip in economy class. If you have questions about booking a ticket on miles you can also call the International line at 1-800-241-4141. Be sure to call between 8a-10p (EST) because skymiles desk is only open for general members during those hours.

Answer 3

I am a delta frequent flyer (every week) so I have built up a lot of miles.  I have used them for free international travel, and sometimes it can use up a lot.  If you have flexible travel dates, Delta.com is pretty usefull for booking free skymiles travel.  It will look for the dates you request and other days around that date and tell you which days have flights for less skymiles.  You can also call their help line and someone can help you.  The toll free number from the US is

1-800-323-2323.  If you are outside of the country, delta.com has a non-1-800 number
