We've got a rule of thumb: If you want to fly business class, don't bother with earning SkyMiles – the airline is notorious for charging 300,000 SkyMiles or more each way. But rules were meant to be broken…
Earlier this week, we found an incredible deal to book Delta One Suites on the airline's new route to Taipei (TPE) for as low as just 93,500 SkyMiles each way. Travelers with a co-branded Delta American Express card in their wallets get the best rates thanks to the automatic TakeOff 15 discount.
Our Thrifty Traveler Premium members got first dibs and snapped up some of this availability after we sent an alert earlier this week, but there are still plenty of flights bookable from January through April 2025 – and especially in April. Don't wait, as these cheap Delta One rates could disappear soon!
You'll find the lowest rates on the Seattle (SEA) nonstop, but you can start your trip from virtually any airport with Delta service – flying first class to Seattle – and then head to Southeast Asia in a lie-flat seat for just over 110,000 SkyMiles each way.

Is paying nearly 94,000 SkyMiles for a one-way flight in business class the deal of the century? Hardly. But if SkyMiles are what you've got, this sure beats the normal Delta One award rates of 400,000 SkyMiles or more.
Delta's new nonstop route to Taiwan began in June, and it's been an absolute hot spot for SkyMiles deals. That route has led the way in a recent resurgence of discounted Delta One fares, with one-ways previously dipping below 84,000 SkyMiles. And at the back of the plane, we've seen deal after deal … like 34,000 SkyMiles roundtrip.
But these discounted Delta One fares are even better. And they stand out for a few reasons:
- You're flying Delta One Suites on either the Airbus A350 or Airbus A330-900neo – not the outdated business class cabins you'll find on many of Delta's older planes
- Surprisingly, Delta is even cutting a deal on one-way flights in business class. That's a rarity: With Delta SkyMiles flash sales, you almost always need to book roundtrip for savings.
Read our full review of flying Delta One Suites on the A350 … or the A330-900neo!
Lie-flat bed? Check. Privacy doors you can close to block out the world? Check. Champagne when you board, great food you can pre-order online, and a high-definition seatback screen with plenty of movies to keep you entertained? Check, check, and check.
Not interested in visiting Taiwan? First off, you should be. But even so, Taipei is the perfect jumping-off point to head onward throughout Southeast Asia, whether you want to go to Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, or elsewhere. Why not get there in style … for a fraction of the SkyMiles it'd normally cost you to book this fancy Delta One Suite?
This deal is so good – and so rare – we sent Thrifty Traveler Premium members an email alert spelling it all out.
Don't have enough SkyMiles? Delta is an Amex transfer partner – instantly get what you need from cards like the *amex gold* or *amex platinum*!
This isn't just a one-off, either: You can book Delta business class seats over to Taiwan from more than 100 airports across the country at deeply discounted rates this winter and spring. Departing from Seattle will get you the lowest rates, so it could be worth booking a positioning flight separately.
But whether you depart from other Delta hubs like Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), Detroit (DTW) or smaller regional airports across the country, you can make a connection and get to Southeast Asia in style for just over 110,000 Delta SkyMiles each way. Keep reading for the full list of departure cities you can fly from!
Thrifty Tip: Make sure to use Delta’s “Price Calendar” feature when searching for award rates to find the best deals.

Bottom Line
Delta One business class deals are incredibly rare … but they've mounted a major comeback lately. And they don't get much better than this.
These fares as low as 93,500 SkyMiles each way for a Delta One Suite are just the latest example of huge savings flying business class to Taipei. It sure beats the normal rates of 300,000 SkyMiles or more you'll see on many other Delta routes.
Our Thrifty Traveler Premium members got first dibs, but now it's your chance. Don't wait: Deals this good don't stick around for long.
