New Yorkers wanting to escape winter for a couple of hours (and not purchase MQM from Delta at insane prices) will definitely be interested in this JFK to San Diego elite mileage run.
The run departs JFK at 7:00 PM on Friday, December 6, connects through Seattle, and gets you to San Diego at 2:15 PM. You have about two and a half hours to enjoy the San Diego Delta Sky Club, the Airspace Lounge, and/or step outside for some warm, southern California air!
Your return departs at 4:39 PM, goes through LAX, and returns you to JFK at 5:17 AM the following morning.
Here’s how it breaks down:
- Dates: December 6-7
- Route: JFK-SEA-SAN-LAX-JFK
- Cost: $328.40 in Main Cabin
- MQM: 6,446 (5.1 CPM)
- MQD: $268
There are Basic Economy options available, too. But Main Cabin gives Delta Medallions exit row seats and shots at upgrades. Here’s a Google Flights link to get you started.
