A winter getaway vacation just got cheaper.
Delta Air Lines recently unveiled a limited-time deal on award redemptions through their SkyMiles program for flights in January 2025. The deals, as low as 17,000 miles round-trip plus taxes, include flights to popular destinations such as Bahamas, Tulum, Mexico; and Turks and Caicos.
However, travelers will need to book soon, as the sale ends on Thursday.
“For 3 days only, make the most of your miles with deals to beach destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean and beyond,” Delta shared on their website.
Travelers can book the discounted fares on Delta’s sale page. The promotion has a wide variety of origin cities, but only six destinations.
Travelers can choose from: Bridgetown, Barbados (BGI), Mazatlan, Mexico (MZT), Nassau, Bahamas (NAS), Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (PLS),; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (POP), and Tulum, Mexico (TQO).
For travelers looking to explore the Bahamas, there are a variety of deals to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport between Jan. 20 and Feb.
2, 2025 starting at 17,000 miles + $120 for Basic Economy or 20,000 miles + $120 for Main Cabin. Best of all, the flight deal to Nassau is available from a variety of departure cities including Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, and more.
Travelers can also find deals to the newly opened Tulum, Mexico airport (TQO) starting at 17,000 miles + $113 for Basic Economy, or 23,000 miles + $113 for Main Cabin, also from a wide variety of destinations.
The deals are available on flights from mid-January through early-February from originating cities such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Los Angeles, and more.
As an example of the potential savings, a SkyMiles ticket from Atlanta to Tulum would cost 34,000 miles plus $107 outside of the promotion, whereas it is only 17,000 miles, and $108 during the sale.
The flight sale comes as Delta recently advised passengers of changes to their international flight schedule, as the carrier announced it will be stopping its daytime flights to Paris.

Waiting in a rental car line is high on my list of things I try to avoid after a flight. This was confirmed on a recent trip to Washington when I saw hectic crowds squeezing around the construction at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This time around, I avoided them all with Kyte, a rental car company started in 2020 that delivers cars right to you or offers pick-ups and drop-offs at lots near select airports.

As a Delta Diamond Medallion member, I've found that although the value of Delta's award currency has fallen lately, and many of the best outsize value sweet spots are gone, there are still many ways to find value.
American Airlines is going back to basics in Austin after experimenting with dozens of new nonstop flights during the pandemic. The carrier will no longer be an option for Austinites eager to visit Bourbon Street in New Orleans after October or soak up the history of Boston’s Freedom Walk after November. Nonstop flights to both cities are among the seven that will end in the next few months. Also gone are American’s nonstops from Austin to Las Vegas and Orlando in October; Nashville and Raleigh-Durham in November; and Orange County, Calif., in January 2025, Cirium Diio schedule data shows. The reductions bring to an end a pandemic experiment for American that peaked at nonstop flights from Austin to more than 45 cities in early 2023. The cuts are part of a “continuous evaluation” of American’s network, an airline spokesperson told Travel + Leisure on Monday. “American will continue to offer customers access to our comprehensive global network of more than 350 destinations with one-stop connections,” the spokesperson added. Other factors include the rapid airline industry growth in Austin during the pandemic and the now slowing travel recovery.
Construction on a high-speed rail connection between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is currently underway, and a peek inside the cars shows it will be a luxurious option when complete.
