Attention, travel enthusiasts: Delta SkyMiles has launched a limited-time SkyMiles promotion on both domestic and international fares. However, don't wait to plan your trip — you must book by Aug. 29 to snag one of these lucrative deals.
So, if you've struggled to get more than a cent in value for each of your Delta SkyMiles, here's your chance with Delta Air Lines' new summer promotion.
You can view all of the offers included in Delta's new Beyond the Summer Event promotion at this special landing page. There, you can search by origin airport and destination region to find qualifying flights. Unfortunately, only basic economy and Main Cabin seats are included in this offer, so Delta's infamous business-class seats to Europe for 300,000-plus miles are not included in this promotion.
However, the promotion does include economy seats for routes across Delta's worldwide network. Travel dates vary from country to country as follows:
Some blackout dates apply to each region — check the landing page for more details.

The new promotion offers round-trip domestic flights, including New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Miami International Airport (MIA), from just 9,000 miles plus $12 in fees and taxes. With various loyalty programs recently increasing the cost of domestic flights, booking a one-way flight for under 9,000 miles is a terrific offer.
If you're looking to travel internationally, you can snag round-trip basic economy flights from JFK to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) in January for as low as 30,000 miles plus $102 in taxes and fees. It's worth noting that cash fares to Europe in January are typically very affordable during this off-peak travel month.
Other notable Europe deals include Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) for just 36,000 miles round-trip in basic economy. Note that this option requires $210 in taxes and fees and is for travel in January.
If Asia is on your bucket list, you can fly round-trip from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) for just 44,000 miles plus $40 in taxes and fees.
Additionally, holding a Delta cobranded credit card will give you a 15% discount on award flights booked with SkyMiles. The following cards are eligible for the TakeOff 15 discount:
