The Offer
- Delta is offering round trip flights to Zurich, Switzerland for 38,000 miles + taxes and fees ($59). It looks like if you want that pricing you need to book in mid June. They also have more dates available pricing in at 48,000 miles starting in August until February 2019. Note these are from JFK, not sure if other airports are similarly discounted
Our Verdict
Standard pricing is 56,000 miles so the 38,000 rate is a significant discount and even the 48,000 rate is 8,000 miles off so not terrible. I always say any excuse to use Delta miles is a good one. The sales don’t include peak summer periods in Europe, but I think the shoulder seasons are better to visit in any case.
Hat tip to Miles To Memories
Pay attention to the fuel charges. I see like 20k + $90 from US to Mexico with stops. Not much better than $330 non-stop round trip to Mexico.
What search are you using?
Would it be better to transfer SPG to Delta before August 1, 2018?
Can you do a write up?
Thank you.

Please don’t 🙏
Lol, a true ddf’er.
If only they have the same to Paris.
Planning to propose in September under the Eiffel tower 🤫
It’s not hard to get to Paris from Zurich. Inter-Europe flights are very cheap.
The train ride from Zurich to Paris is delightful.
Just realized they have flights to Zurich with a layover in Paris which are cheaper than nonstop to Paris.
How romantic as long as there is not a huge crowd. Congrats in advance!
Congrats! Just want to suggest doing the proposal at Trocadero since you’d be able to see the whole Tower in the pics. Either way it’ll be awesome!
I got the $59. Who is bringing the miles?
Ask your local AmEx CSR.
showing 58k from SFO for those same dates
Not a bad deal. I see it pretty wide open from JFK for 48K in late summer. But in this age of cheapo transatlantic fares (if you’re flexible), it’s not a super deal either. It’s risky to say this, but even Skypesos may be worth more than this!
Availability isn’t quite as good, but they’re now selling these flights in the $400s. If you can find it, that is probably a better deal — and is a much better deal if you have credit card points to spend.

Anyway to use Chase UR points to get in on this?
The flights are also discounted at $640 I think, so you could use 42k Chase UR if you have the CSR and get 1.5¢ per point?
What is cheaper than 43811 points, what you’d get if you could transfer at 1:1 + 1c/point for the taxes.
You might be able to transfer from Chase to Air France and get the fare that way. Air France is Delta’s alliance partner.
