While Delta hasn't specified the exact travel dates for this sale, it appears to be good for flights through January and early February, depending on the destination.

Cheap Domestic Award Flights
Delta is offering some incredible discounts on domestic flights, and its not hard to find award rates under 10,000 SkyMiles roundtrip. Again, Delta SkyMiles cardholders get the best deal with the 15% discount on award tickets. That brings this nonstop flight from Seattle (SEA) to Austin, Texas (AUS) down to just 7,400 SkyMiles roundtrip.
Although slightly higher, you can even book this transcontinental flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) for as few as 11,400 SkyMiles roundtrip!
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.
