Cheap Award Flights To Mexico, Central America, And The Caribbean
Delta is also advertising discounted award rates on flights to destinations throughout Central America and the Caribbean, including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, Costa Rica, and more.
While you won't find these rates on every route, 6,800 SkyMiles roundtrip is one of the best award deals to Cancún we've ever seen.

Just 18,800 SkyMiles is all you'd need to fly roundtrip from Minneapolis (MSP) to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). A warm weather trip in the depths of Midwest winter for less than 20,000 SkyMiles? I'm game.

How To Book This Delta SkyMiles Deal
To find these discounted Delta SkyMiles flash sale flights, you can search from Delta's dedicated flash sale page or conduct a regular award search on Delta's website.
