Delta Slashes Mileage Rate to Australia for Amex Cardholders

Delta Air Lines is offering discounted round-trip flights to Australia for American Express cardholders. The promotion allows SkyMiles members with an Amex card to redeem 25,500 miles for a one-way ticket from Los Angeles to Melbourne, while non-cardholders must pay 30,000 miles.

Taxes add $136 to the fare in Melbourne, and travelers should book promptly as this offer is subject to availability. The discounted rate applies exclusively to Delta SkyMiles American Express Card holders, who receive a 15 percent reduction on award redemptions.

This deal is part of a broader promotion by Delta covering European cities like Rome and Lisbon at reduced mileages. Travelers risk paying 4,500 extra miles if they lack the Amex card or delay booking, especially as peak season approaches and award space tightens.
