Delta announces new mileage levels for award seats

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines announced new mileage levels for award seats for 2015, creating five levels of mileage requirements.

The lowest requirement for domestic award tickets in Delta’s SkyMiles frequent flier program will remain 25,000 miles. But starting next year, other award seats will require either 35,000, 40,000, 50,000 or 65,000 miles.

That’s a change from the current award levels of 25,000, 40,000 and 60,000 miles.
