Delta Air Lines flyers in New York needing some MQM may want to check out this coast-to-coast mileage run from JFK to Sacramento, California.
I found this deal for Tuesday, December 10, though it appears a few other dates are available, too.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Dates: December 10-11
- Route: JFK-LAX-SMF-LAX-SMF
- Cost: $328.40 in Main Cabin
- MQM: 5950 (5.5 CPM)
- MQD: $268
There are Basic Economy options available, too. But Main Cabin gives Delta Medallions exit row seats and shots at upgrades. Plus, the JFK – LAX legs are 767-300s with Delta One lie flats. If you have expiring RUs, this might be a decent way to use them.
Here’s a Google Flights link to get you started.
LAX Lounges
This run gives you several hours at LAX. If you have Sky Club access, you can spend some time at:
- LAX Delta Sky Club at T2 (Review)
- LAX Delta Sky Club at T3 (Review)
- LAX Delta Sky Club at T3 Satellite (Images)
