Nice! Skypesos are almost impossible to redeem at the lowest award tier - hence the name. Very, very rarely is anyone ever able to book a Delta roundtrip ticket with 25k miles.
Yeah I hear that quite often but I have never had an issue booking a lowest tier award Domestic, and last September I was actually able to find a low award for two people to Mexico if you will believe that.
I'm currently trying to find a low award for this June anywhere to Mexico or the Caribbean for my honeymoon and it doesn't seem like there is anything at all available
