If you use Air France/KLM Flying Blue miles, you can book a domestic 1-way ticket on Delta, with no ridiculous fuel surcharges. (CLARIFICATION: You can also book 1-way tickets looking for vacation packages to las vegas on Delta for TransAtlantic travel using Flying Blue without fuel surcharges as well, as long as the entire itinerary is on Delta metal. Good luck finding a seat, but if they re available, a coach 1-way TransAtlantic is 25,000 Flying Blue miles + $2.50. Pretty fantastic, considering that s just 20,000 Starwood points.)
Below I walk through how I recently priced out an award ticket from LaGuardia to Detroit the final price came to 12,500 Flying Blue miles plus $2.50. If low level awards are available on Delta.com, they re also available on Flying Blue.
You can transfer Membership Rewards points into Flying Blue, or you can transfer Starwood points into the program (with the usual 5,000 mile bonus for transferring 20,000 miles). It s a nice workaround for the Delta one-way restriction.

Interesting. My wife and I are FlyingBlue plats thanks to a status looking for vacation packages to las vegas match offer from last year. I don t fly DL much, but because FlyingBlue plats are eligible looking for vacation packages to las vegas for upgrades (lowest status, but it does work sometimes), I do credit my DL flights to FlyingBlue.

The problem, of course, will be finding award seats.
