FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL THE CHANGES TO EARNING
AND REDEEMING MILES HAPPEN?
Flights flown on or after January 1, 2015, will earn
redeemable miles based on the ticket price. Also beginning
January 1, 2015, members may book One-Way Awards,
take advantage of Miles + Cash Award options and
enjoy new Award Travel shopping.
WHATS CHANGING WITH HOW I WILL
EARN MILES?
You will earn redeemable miles based on your ticket price
(base fare plus any carrier-imposed surcharges) instead
of distance flown. This change applies to Delta-marketed
(flight number with a DL airline code) or Delta-ticketed
(the ticket number will begin with 006) flights.
IF I PURCHASE A DELTA FLIGHT IN A
CURRENCY OTHER THAN U.S. DOLLARS,
HOW MANY MILES WILL I EARN?
For flights purchased in a currency other than U.S. dollars
(USD), the currency will be converted to USD based on the
IATA 5-day currency exchange rate at the time of ticketing.
Then the same mileage earn rates per USD will be applied.
HOW WILL I EARN MILES FOR PARTNER
AIRLINE FLIGHTS?
Flights marketed and ticketed by Deltas partner airlines will
earn mileage based on a percentage of distance flown and fare
class paid. More details will be announced later in 2014.
WHEN WILL THE 2015 AWARD CHARTS
BE AVAILABLE?
The 2015 Award chart for travel from the U.S. (excluding
Hawaii) and Canada is available at delta.com/skymiles2015.
It is effective for new Award Tickets booked beginning
January 1, 2015. Award charts for travel from other regions
will be available later this year.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY EXISTING MILES?
Your existing miles are safe and are no different from the miles
you will earn in 2015. In fact, going forward, your current miles
will be even more valuable since youll be able to use them
more easily with these new redemption options.
