Routes: LAX/HKG for 110k points one way, rest of US for 110-125k points one way
Airline: Delta
Programs to book with: Delta
Travel timeline: July to September 2026
Cost: Starting at 110k points + $6-76 in tax/fees each way
Transfer partners: American Express
Summary: Fly Delta One Suites between Los Angeles and Hong Kong with fairly wide open availability (9+ seats) between LAX/HKG.
Why I like this deal? 1) Reasonable cost of redemption, which is rare with Delta miles, 2) multiple seats (some dates 9+), 3) ability during busy summer season, 4) ability to connect to/from other US cities for the same price or incrementally more (saves on repositioning flight costs). An East Coast-LAX-Hong Kong flight is 125k miles one way for example, and 5) Delta co-branded cardholders can book this for as low as 93.5k points one-way with their 15% award discount.

Delta One Suites on the A350
The Los Angeles/Hong Kong flight is currently scheduled to be on Delta’s A350, which has a newer Delta One Suite. Yes, that means it has a door. Los Angeles also has a Delta One lounge and dedicated curbside check-in.
Seats are in a 1-2-1 layout, all lie-flat, and all have aisle access. It’s sad I have to even type this out since this isn’t true for all airlines yet.
