After all, Delta uses dynamic pricing for SkyMiles redemptions.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/great-value-virgin-atlantic-flying-club\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Atlantic Flying Club<\/a>, a SkyTeam partner of Delta, offers a solution. With Virgin Atlantic points, you can book Delta flights at set rates based on Virgin Atlantic&#8217;s Delta-specific award chart. In many cases, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club&#8217;s award rates for short-haul flights are lower than what you&#8217;d pay if you redeemed through Delta&#8217;s SkyMiles program.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, earning Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points is relatively easy.

So, you can save yourself a bit of trial and error if you begin your search on the Delta website since Delta&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delta.com\/air-shopping\/low-fare-calendar.action\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">price calendar<\/a> lets you see a month of availability. Dates marked with &#8220;Lowest&#8221; are most likely to be available through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club (although this isn&#8217;t a guarantee).<\/p>\n<p>Once you find availability through Virgin Atlantic, a calendar week will appear. Hopefully, your desired dates are available.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-4252866712 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-3367723627 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:39.5625%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/07\/Award-space-within-a-week-from-MSP-to-CLT.png?width=3840\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-4252866712 figcaption\">VIRGINATLANTIC.COM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Note: You can view Virgin Atlantic availability in one-month increments, though you&#8217;ll have to tamper with the page&#8217;s URL.
