In Delta’s Frequent-Flier Magic Trick, Not Just Rabbits Disappear

Welcome to MEDA: Leadership Dedicated to Building Montana's Economy

Over the last 18 months, Delta Air Lines http://www.delta.com/ has been engaged in some sleight of hand of its own. The airline no longer posts any award chart explaining how many miles your free tickets will require, the way that United and American Airlines still do. But Delta also hasn’t moved to a transparent miles redemption system that is based entirely on the cash price that the "free" ticket would otherwise cost, as Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways do.

Instead, Delta issues proclamations like this one that came along a few weeks ago: "For travel on or after June 1, 2016, the number of miles needed will change based on destination, demand and other considerations. But most Award prices will remain unchanged."
