How to find Delta One awards space
While we love the Seat. To quickly find the awards space in a period of 12 months, this resource unfortunately does not show Delta One is based on Flying Blue. The platform has a Delta One Finder tool that, in theory, shows Delta One is based on couple miles (instead of paying more than 300,000 miles per flight per flight Delta Skymiles).
However, this tool only shows partner seats through a program, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. While Flying Club offers excellent awards rates, showing seats available for 47,500 to 77,500 points, depending on the duration of the flight, Huge rates, taxes and surcharges are addedwhich will amount to more than $ 1,000 in additional costs in each direction. Therefore, you can expect to pay more than $ 2,000 for Delta One flights, in addition to the Virgin Atlantic points required for round trip flights.
If you do not want to pay high surcharges on Delta One flights, try to reserve the Flying Blue program of Air France-KLM, since it has attractive mileage rates and significantly lower taxes and rates. However, I know that availability is usually difficult to find.
You can use seats. Aero’s Delta One Finder as a starting point to verify which routes and dates to Europe are available through partner programs. In theory, if a seat is available with Virgin Points, ought Also be available with flying blue miles (with the lowest cash copayment).

Unfortunately, we have not seen consistency among the seats available through the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and those available through Flying Blue, which means that many delta aircraft seats available through Virgin Atlantic are not available through Air France or KLM.
If you have a specific route in mind, you may want to try to look directly on the Air France and KLM websites in the hope of scoring a seat at reasonable prices. To get the best results, look for non -stop flights from Delta centers.
