Delta flash sale: 30,000 miles roundtrip to Tokyo


Delta is currently offering some crazy cheap economy class award tickets to Tokyo from the U.S starting at 30,000 SkyMiles roundtrip.  Many dates are available throughout March, April, and May, and most will require a layover at one of Delta's hubs.


Delta is in the process of moving most of their Tokyo-Narita flights to Tokyo-Haneda, which is the far more convenient option for those wishing to visit Tokyo or connecting onward to another domestic destination.  Starting March 29, 2020, they'll have 7 nonstop routes between the U.S. and HND.


Although it's not saying much, Delta does offer the best economy class product to Japan out of the three major U.S. carriers.  Their new A350s offer 9-inch seatback entertainment sets with complimentary HBO and Starz channels. USB and power ports and WiFi are available at every seat, and headsets, text messaging, and alcoholic drinks are all free.  They even offer hot towel service in economy class with a sleep kit.


The flash sale starting at 30k miles are all searchable and bookable on Delta's website.



Quick thoughts

This is an excellent flash sale for Delta.  Normally, roundtrip economy class travel between the U.S. would set you back 60k+ miles with most carriers, and it's great to see plenty of dates where you can get to Tokyo for less than half that cost.  I don't expect this flash sale to last long, so if you were thinking of going to Tokyo this spring to check out the cherry blossoms, this could be a really good opportunity for you to go for cheap.

Citi temporarily adds American Airlines as a mileage transfer partner!

Image
In a surprise move, Citi has added American Airlines as a transfer partner for their ThankYou Points (TYP) earning credit cards.  What's especially intriguing is that even no annual fee cards that normally don't offer transfers to loyalty programs are eligible for this new and temporary partnership, albeit at a lower transfer ratio.  Citi's premium line of cards, including the Prestige and the Premier, both have 1:1 transfer capability with AAdvantage miles (1,000 TYP = 1,000 AAdvantage miles).  Whereas no annual fee cards, including the ThankYou Preferred and the Rewards+, get a 2:1 transfer ratio (1,000 TYP = 500 AAdvantage miles).  This transfer partnership is valid from July 18 through November 13, though one could speculate that it could be extended. American Airlines AAdvantage program was the only loyalty program out of the three U.S. legacy carriers that didn't have a 1:1 transfer partner with any credit card accounts.  Delta has long been a transfer partner wit

Park Hyatt Sydney review

Image
For our trip to Australia's east coast, we started off with a 4-night stay in Sydney.  We decided to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney as it has been consistently rated as one of the best Hyatt luxury properties worldwide.  The hotel, located in the heart of Sydney Harbor at the Rocks, is famous for its stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Price As a category 8 hotel, the Park Hyatt Sydney is Hyatt's most expensive award category ranging from 35k-45k points per night.  Fortunately, since we were traveling during Australia's "slower" winter season, we were able to get off-peak rates of 35k for most of our nights in a standard 1 King Bed room. Seeing how the hotel's standard rooms were over $700 a night during our stay, this was a pretty good redemption value at well over 2 cents per point.  This hotel is also known for releasing tons of free night award space, even during peak travel times.  This is atypical for many Hyatt top-tier hotels such as t
