How to Save 6,700 Points on the Same Delta Flight [YouTube Tutorial]

video preview​

Maximizing Strategy:

Did you know the same Delta flight can cost you thousands of points more, depending on how you book it?

In this week’s episode of Book Here, Not There, I show you how a Delta flight from LAX to Atlanta (Flight 390, Feb 11, 2026) costs:

22,700 miles via Delta SkyMiles

18,500 points via Virgin Atlantic

16,000 miles via Air France Flying Blue

That’s a 6,700-point difference—enough for another short domestic flight.

Why this matters:

All three programs let you book the same exact flight. But the cheapest option requires less than ¾ of the points. That’s why it pays to check partners before transferring your credit card points.

Tools that help:

Quick Notes:

Delta uses dynamic pricing = often overpriced when paying with Skymiles

Virgin Atlantic and Air France let you transfer from most credit card points (Amex, Chase, Citi, Cap1, Bilt)

Transfer bonuses can make deals even sweeter

Partner bookings may not recognize elite benefits or have easy change policiesworth weighing if flexibility matters
