DISCOVER HIDDEN SKYMILES AWARDS. Delta.com has its fair share of kinks that you must work through when booking SkyMiles award tickets. But, there is a way to reveal those hard-to-find seats at the lowest redemption level. Here’s how: Simply sign up for Air France-KLM’s FlyingBlue frequent flyer program. That’s right…use another airline’s web site to find Delta and partner airline flights. Just look for “Classic” awards, which are the same as Delta’s lowest level redemptions. The FlyingBlue web site also searches Air France, KLM, Alitalia, CSA Czech, and Kenya Airways award availability. To enroll, sign up free here. You can then call Delta directly to book the flights that show Classic availability for Delta’s lowest mileage level. Delta.com does show Air France, KLM, and Alaska partner availability and allows you to search a month at a time. However, it is temperamental and not always accurate. Try using the FlyingBlue site to do your research and find more opportunities to use your SkyMiles—and let us know it this works better for you! We’d love to hear your feedback.

I'll try it.. I'm strugling with Delta and now trying to get an award ticket on a partner.. PIA..

 

On the Delta site if you click the button that says "My schedule is Flexiable" it will then show you

high and low award levels.. There are very few low awards..

 

I may switch my AMEX Delta card to points because the mileage program is getting to hard to work with.

I struggled with fly blue site and it did give low miles for some days, but when

you click on it.. it says unavailable.. and doesn't say what airline..

 

If someone finds where it say "classic" travel let me know.
