How to Book Delta With Chase Points

Points Mafia may earn a commission or referral bonus when you apply through links on this page. This doesn't change our ratings. Disclosure

A Chase balance books Delta through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at 1:1, or through Air France-KLM Flying Blue at 1:1. Chase's transfer list has no SkyMiles row. Search the Delta-operated flight in both programs, then transfer to the one you will book. The map of every program is how to book Delta with miles. Ratios checked October 16, 2026 and October 16, 2026. Page updated November 9, 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Chase lists Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and Air France-KLM Flying Blue. Both can put you on a Delta-operated flight.
  • Chase has no SkyMiles transfer. A Chase balance does not become SkyMiles.
  • Move points only after the screen shows the seat and names Delta as the operating carrier.
  • Flying Club and Flying Blue own their own cash and change rules. This page picks which one to open.

Which program to transfer into

SkyMiles are Delta's own miles. The banks that list them are Amex Membership Rewards. Chase is not in that sentence. The two Chase partners that this site publishes for a Delta seat are book Delta with Virgin Atlantic and book Delta with Flying Blue.

Program you book inChase ratioPartner list checked

Air France-KLM Flying Blue1:1October 16, 2026

The ratio cell is the transfer list, not a number typed on this page. Every Chase partner is on the transfer partners page. Chase can send points to 14 partners, so a Delta seat is one use, not the only use.

This directory row for Flying Club and for Flying Blue does not set a block size, a minimum, or an official transfer time. Read those figures on Chase's transfer screen. Do not borrow the United transfer time from a different partner row.

How to book Delta with Flying Club

Flying Club's Delta page says reward flights are subject to availability, blackout dates may apply, and the flight has to be operated by Delta or Delta Connection. A flight Delta markets and another airline operates cannot be booked. Source: [Virgin Atlantic, Delta partner page](https://www.virginatlantic.com/en-US/flying-club/airline-partners/delta-air-lines), checked November 9, 2026.

  1. Find the Delta flight and note the flight number and the date.
  2. Search that flight with Flying Club. The flight has to be operated by Delta or Delta Connection. A flight Delta markets and another airline operates cannot be booked.
  3. If the seat is there, transfer Chase points to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at 1:1.
  4. Book, then check that the confirmation shows the Delta flight number.

Flying Club lists Delta award prices as a one way points amount that excludes passenger taxes, duties, fees, charges and surcharges. That page does not print one surcharge for every departure from the US.

Virgin's partner airline terms say Virgin requests the flight from the airline, and a reply can take up to 48 hours. A date change costs £30 per person when a seat is available, and Virgin requests the new flight the same way. Those terms do not publish a cancellation refund for an airline partner reward.

There is no Chase to Flying Club transfer guide on this site. The click path is the transfer screen in Ultimate Rewards. This page does not invent menu labels for it.

How to book Delta with Flying Blue

Flying Blue says a reward ticket is booked by a member, paid in miles, and can be used on Air France, KLM, and Flying Blue airline partner flights. Those rules do not name Delta or a Delta award price. Confirm the operating carrier is Delta before you transfer.

  1. Find the Delta flight and note the flight number and the date.

Flying Blue says a reward ticket follows its program rules, the fare rules, and the operating carrier's conditions. The reward ticket page does not publish a Delta change fee or a cancellation fee.

When Flying Club or Flying Blue is the better route

Price the same Delta-operated flight in Flying Club and in Flying Blue. Keep the miles, the cash on top, and the transfer ratio. We value a Chase point at 2.05 cents per point, Flying Club at 1.5 cents per point, and Flying Blue at 1.45 cents per point (The Points Guy, November 2026).

Flying Club's listed value is below a Chase point, so the award has to beat 2.05¢ per point after taxes. Beating the Flying Club valuation is not enough.

Flying Blue's listed value is below a Chase point, so that award has to beat 2.05¢ per point after taxes too.

SkyMiles are the better hold when you already have them, or when the bank you are moving is one of Amex Membership Rewards. How to book Delta with Amex points is that path for Membership Rewards. A Chase balance cannot open it.

Use Flying Club when its screen shows a Delta or Delta Connection flight and the points plus cash beat Flying Blue. Use Flying Blue when its screen shows Delta as the operating carrier and that result wins. If neither screen shows the seat, leave the points in Chase.

Run your own balance through the points value calculator.

Business class is a strong redemption when the points price and the cash on top still beat paying cash. The cabin does not make the award good by itself.
