Delta award booking
« on: February 02, 2012, 03:56:01 PM »
Looking to go to florida anytime in the next few weeks for a few days. Checking the award calendar and it's showing me low days both ways but miles are 32,500. Isn't it suppose to be 25,000?

Thanks so much fr looking for me. Really appreciate you taking time to help!

I was looking at LGA-PBI would that have made a difference?

Thanks!

Sorry for being an idiot. Can you give me your sample dates for it. Still saying more than 25,000
Here's a shot

I've found award bookings to be a little messed up at times on the Delta site. I just clicked on the 3pm on your screenshot and then the 7pm and it priced in the end at 25k. So just click through a little further...

As an aside, PBI ain't that far from FLL. I would much prefer a direct flight to FLL and drive north.

BTW, I'm not sure of this, but I think its rationale for coming up with 32.5k is as follows: it's offering you a connection through ATL where it initially thinks one leg each way is at mid tier. So it's formula is (25k/2) + (40k/2) = 32.5k
