Now, Diamond and Platinum Medallion members can choose their favorite Choice Benefits using the Fly Delta app. In 2025, members keep getting elevated values on the most exclusive Choice Benefits, like Delta Vacations experiences, Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQD) Accelerators, Travel Vouchers, and more.

SkyMiles Members benefit from more than 70 partnerships with credit cards, lifestyle brands, airlines, and more. That makes it easy to redeem miles for hotel stays, car rentals, and even cruises. Delta’s newest collaboration is with Uber, where members can earn airport rides and deliveries from Uber Eats. That begins in spring 2025.

Members-only Award Deals are flash sales with significant fare discounts. In 2024, members bought millions of award tickets using less than 25K miles. To stay current with the latest deals, Medallion members must update their SkyMiles account and opt-in to receive emails, or visit the SkyMiles Award Deals section on delta.com.

2025 offers more Medallion members more benefits than ever. That goes for current members or even those working their way toward elite status. Even non-elite members enjoy valuable benefits, like Delta Sync Wi-Fi, the Delta Sync seatback, and exclusive offers.

This East London rooftop bar proves you don't need to be 50 floors up to impress

Bar, Person, Candle

London does not need another rooftop bar. The city has them stacked on top of skyscrapers, tucked behind hotel lobbies, and squeezed onto buildings where you'd swear there isn't room for a bar, let alone a view. So when a new one claims to be worth your evening, it has some convincing to do.
