Finding deals
Just two weeks ago I booked a flight for a friend to London on Delta. The nonstop flight between Portland and London cost just 48,000 roundtrip, plus about $190 tax. For the month of August, dates are wide open at this price, for up to 9 people too! With this promotion, it would cost 43,200 miles roundtrip per person!
Are you targeted for this promotion? If so, did you find any great deals?

What is the link
I didn’t read the fine print, I was looking at August 7th which would have cost $567 (so the 43,000 miles + 189 would have been nearly a 1cpm redemption) darn.
Mind you maybe at less then a 1cpm redemption maybe a cash ticket Portland to London would be better.
