Well, hello there! It’s been a while since we posted mileage runs. Delta’s SkyMiles 2025 program is making things rather difficult. (No more MQM, reduced MQD earnings.) Plus, airfares and MQD returns have been fairly meh. But we found something that might help a few folks. The MQD return isn’t quite as lucrative as we once […] The post Delta MQD Long Weekend Trip: Honolulu in Business Class! appeared first on Eye of the Flyer ..read more

I’m not exactly patting myself on the back for finding this Atlanta (ATL) to Kahului, Maui (OGG) Delta mileage run.

Here we are: our first official mileage-status run for the new Delta 2025 SkyMiles program. Because it’s all about the Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQD) for Delta SkyMiles Medallion status in 2025 (with the earning period starting January 1, 2024), the name of the game is earning MQD for the lowest possible prices. That’s easier said […] The post Los Angeles to Dubai: $4,466 Delta MQD for ~$2000! (SkyMiles 2025 Status Run/Mini-Vacation) appeared first on Eye of the Flyer ..read more

I spent some time this afternoon trying to find mileage runs for our hub-captive friends at airports such as ATL, DTW, MSP, and SLC. The only luck I had was something okay-ish for folks in Atlanta. This overnight Delta mileage run to Kona travels ATL-Detroit-Los Angeles-KOA-Seattle-Cincinnatti-ATL. Yes, it’s in Main Cabin. As always, Platinums and […] The post Atlanta to Hawaii Delta Mileage-Status Run: 10,235 MQM at 6.3 CPM appeared first on Eye of the Flyer ..read more
