Spending a few grand to complete the necessary flights was a no-brainer, but finding flights that would work was a puzzle that took hours upon hours of research and careful calculation based on previous client outcomes. To pull off Diamond status, for Neela, was to bank the equivalent of over $20,000 in perks. Those seats often cost multiples of economy tickets on the same flight.
The status would allow Neela free upgrades from the cheapest available economy tickets to DeltaOne business class, on four flights each year. With a couple trans-continental family vacations planned, and no desire to pay cash for those oh-so-comfortable lie-flat business class seats, Harris and little Neela had a lot to gain. Shannon Harris thought it might be possible for Neela to reach Diamond in a single trip. If you use a Mac, I wrote a Dashboard widget that you can use to look up IATA airport and airline codes.Neela Harris, 8-year-old Delta Diamond Medallion. If you get a really incorrect result, I'd appreciate hearing about it so I can fix it (I'm ttjoseph on FlyerTalk send me a PM).Īlso, if you're a hardcore mileage runner, try out my route maximizer. A discrepancy of a few miles can be expected because I probably round numbers a bit differently than Delta does. No guarantee of accuracy is made Delta is the final authority on how many miles they actually award. I make my best guess, but remember that this website is not affiliated in any way with Delta Air Lines. For example: jfk-lax-jfk 500 would specify a trip from New York to Los Angeles that you got a 500-mile redeemable miles bonus for.ĭelta's guide to miles earning on its own tickets is If you received bonus miles include that amount as well. This tool does not currently take into account Delta exception fares such as consolidator and cruise fares which can still earn redeemable miles based on distance flown. The sum will be used for the other costs per mile. If you specify more than one dollar amount on the line, only the first will be used for this calculation, since Delta does not give you miles for government taxes and fees. Revenue-based redeemable miles will be estimated for all-Delta trips.
To see your cost per mile for a trip, type the fare too. So, jfk-k-atl-ke.c-icn means New York JFK to Atlanta on a K fare on Delta, then onward to Seoul Incheon on Korean Air on a C fare. Omit the carrier code to default to DL, such that y means Y on Delta. Specify carrier and fare bucket by typing something like ke.f between the airport codes that means that the segment is on Korean Air in the F fare bucket. jfk-atl-sfo-atl-jfk is a round trip from New York JFK to San Francisco with a stop in Atlanta, all on Delta, using the "Default fare" specified above. Plan your trips - or mileage runs - to maximize mileage earning, or just see where you'll end up this year with your miles obsession. This tool calculates how many SkyMiles are earned flying on Delta and its partners.
