There might not be a better value in travel than flying Icelandair business class, and many travelers got a whole lot of that value this week when Thrifty Traveler Premium members got that deal sent right to their inboxes this week.
Every week, we send dozens of flight deal alerts to our members: dirt-cheap domestic flights in and around the U.S.; inexpensive but comfy long-haul flights to Europe, Asia, and beyond; and plenty of alerts to use your points and miles to fly business or first all over the globe.
But some are better than others. We call them The Thrifty Traveler Three – or the TT 3, for short. This week, for instance, we found Delta One Suites flights to Seoul, South Korea (ICN) from just 102,000 Delta SkyMiles each way!
These fares can be as much as $5,000 (or 500k SkyMiles) or more roundtrip normally, but Delta is selling them at a massive discount right now.
How'd we find this deal? Well, we've got a team of nine flight deal experts scouring the globe for the best flight deals every day for our Thrifty Traveler Premium members – departing from more than 200 airports. We run thousands of searches on almost every single route departing the United States or Canada every morning and we deliver the best deals we find straight to your inbox.

This week, we sent more than 25 flight deal alerts to our members. But only a trio can make the cut for The TT 3. Here they are.
3. Cathay Pacific Business Class to SE Asia from 84K Points Each Way
We love Cathay Pacific. In fact, I just flew this business class seat and thought it was amazing! So when we found more business class award space from two Canadian cities, we sent them to our Thrifty Traveler Premium subscribers right away.

These are two of the best ways for Canadians to get to places like Bali (DPS), Phuket (HKT), Singapore (SIN) and other popular Southeast Asian destinations.
So, if you have Cathay Pacific Asia Miles or Finnair Avios (or the many credit card points that transfer to these programs), these seats could be yours for a trip next year.
2. Nonstop to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico from $233 RT
The west coast of Mexico is spectacular all year-round, but during the winter months, a trip to Cabo is just what the doctor ordered for many North American travelers. And right now, you can get to Cabo (SJD) for half the normal price…and you don't even need to take a connection to do so!

Los Angeles (LAX) flights to Cabo are typically cheap, but that's not always the case for all of these other departure cities.
And perhaps best of all, Delta flights on this deal are eligible for the Delta Companion Certificate! All you have to do is pay the taxes and fees on the second ticket to save hundreds when you fly.
1. Delta One Suites to Seoul, South Korea from 102K Each Way
Delta One Suites booked with SkyMiles isn't typically a good deal, but that's changing recently.
The latest example: Widespread Delta One Suites availability from the U.S. to Seoul, South Korea (ICN).

These swanky suites could be yours if you have a stockpile of SkyMiles. And from airports all over the U.S. with Delta service, you could book these flights with connections in First Class, too!
Use those SkyMiles on big, bucket list trip in 2025!
Bottom Line

Does your Thrift Premium service ever include a mix of miles and cash or even gas only for flights from USA to say, Milan? I don’t have tons of points right now and am considering joining this fall.
Your occasional Iberia posts frustrate me. NEVER do I see the point avails that you reference even when I am checking within minutes of getting your Email alerts. This time, I searched the DFW-MAD route via AA as you instructed. I found one date with a 57.5K point 1 way Biz seat in March and a few in Feb and Jan. Nothing in April, May or June and no 34K avail. Checked BOS-MAD and MIA-MAD, they won’t even show the Iberia option and can’t toggle to one way. Seems like clickbait.
You seem to have lots of good deals however we live in Houston, TX and it seems the low fares rarely originate from Houston, although Bush is an international airport!
