In addition, I got 10,700 Medallion Qualifying Miles, since discounted Premium Select fares earned a 50% MQM bonus and $1,578 Medallion Qualifying Dollars. One nice perk that sets Delta’s premium-economy product apart from American’s is that if you book Premium Select on your long-haul flight using cash or miles, you’ll be booked into first class on your domestic connecting flight.Īs a SkyMiles member with no elite status, I earned a total of 7,890 redeemable miles (worth approximately $95, according to TPG’s latest valuations). I could have also used SkyMiles to book my ticket, but it would have cost a whopping 165,000 miles one-way - not a good deal at all. My one-way Premium Select ticket from LaGuardia (LGA) to Beijing (PEK) via Detroit (DTW) cost $1,611 - pretty reasonable considering we were booking this a week from departure and Delta One was going for over $4,000. We used the Platinum Card® from American Express to purchase this flight, which yielded a total of 8,055 Membership Rewards points, equivalent to about $153, according to TPG’s latest valuations.
