As part of our efforts to improve your SkyMiles experience, we are eliminating SkyMiles Award Ticket redemption fees, effective immediately. This means you will no longer pay a redemption fee of up to $150 when you book an Award Ticket within 20 days of departure. Award Tickets booked 21 days or more prior to departure will continue to have no Award redemption fee. And, we're now waiving all Award redeposit and reissue fees for our Diamond and Platinum Medallion® members. (Quelle: Delta Newsletter)
