Delta has released nonstop business class award space between JFK and Brussels to their partner airlines.

The best way to book it would be with 50K Virgin Atlantic miles one-way, a massive savings compared to the 500K miles that Delta Skypesos can charge when booked through them. There are no fuel surcharges for these flights if you book one-way or round-trip from the US. A one-way from Europe to the US would trigger fuel surcharges.

Through tomorrow, you can get a 30% transfer bonus from AMEX to Virgin Atlantic, so 39K AMEX points would convert into 50.7K Virgin Atlantic miles and 77K AMEX points would convert into 100.1K Virgin Atlantic miles, more than enough for a round-trip in business class.

Virgin charges $50 for award changes or cancellation with redeposit. Virgin miles never expire.

Any options from Miami?

Lol

Skypesos

Tony

I think Delta harmed Dan at some point lol. He seems to hold a lot of aggression towards Delta. I find them easy to use and at 1.5 cents per point they are of about average value. He was probably burned in a devaluation from about a decade ago and is still holding a grudge

Ly

And you can transfer to a cheap Ryanair flight to TLV

TimmyD

I found a flight that worked really well, entered all the details and after payment it errored out. I’ve tweaked the details and it still errors out. It doesn’t tell you which segment is no longer available and they all still show as available. Darn
