How to Buy Champagne with SkyMiles in the Delta Sky Club

Let’s get this out of the way: This isn’t for everyone. But it’s a fun and surprisingly valuable way to use your Delta SkyMiles – and kick off your next trip. Yes, you really can buy champagne with SkyMiles.

Like most airport lounges, you can get a free glass of sparkling wine, beer, and cocktails from the Delta Sky Club. But Delta has something different: special drink menus at most Sky Clubs around the country, allowing you to pay up for premium drinks like top-shelf cocktails or bottles of champagne … or redeem SkyMiles for them.

Generally, we’d scoff at using miles for anything other than flights. But using SkyMiles to buy a bottle of champagne or (other premium drinks) is a genuinely solid redemption: Every SkyMile is worth 1.5 cents when buying drinks in the Sky Club – more value than you get when redeeming SkyMiles on many flights or cabin upgrades.

That exchange rate means you can buy a $90 bottle of nice champagne for 6,000 SkyMiles and kick off your trip with some nice bubbly without forking over a bunch of cash. You can even save your cash and tip your Sky Club bartender using miles instead.
 

But what champagne can you buy? Where? And how?

Champagne for SkyMiles? Yes.

The list of booze you can buy in the Delta Sky Club rotates frequently. There are specialty cocktails, top-shelf liquor, wines, and bubbles available to purchase. 

Let’s start with champagne, shall we? 

Generally, you’ve got your pick of a few options, from a cheap but decent sparkling wine to a top-shelf bottle of vintage Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame. In the past, some Sky Clubs have even sold fan-favorite bottles of vintage (and pricey) Krug – though that’s been gone for a few years. Dom Perignon has disappeared, too.

And you’ve got options on quantity, too: A glass, get a split bottle, half bottle, or the whole thing. Of course, you can also buy other wines, beers, premium liquors, and even specialty cocktails with your SkyMiles, too.

After the most recent update, here’s the list of what’s available in most Sky Clubs with premium drink service:

• Nino Franco ‘Rustico’ Prosecco (5oz glass / 750ml bottle): 600 SkyMiles or $9 / 3,000 SkyMiles or $45
• Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut (375ml half bottle): 2,400 SkyMiles or $36
• Champagne Jeeper Blanc de Blanc ‘XXI’ Silver Brut (375ml half bottle): 4,000 SkyMiles or $60
• Taittinger La Francaise Brut (750ml bottle): 7,600 SkyMiles or $114
• Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé (750ml bottle): 8,000 SkyMiles or $120
• Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut (750ml bottle): 9,200 SkyMiles or $138

Check out the current list of alcohol available at the Sky Club on Delta’s website.

Let’s be honest here: While there’s undeniable value here, Delta’s cash prices are quite inflated. You can generally buy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rosé for $90 or less from the liquor store – sometimes under $70. Delta charging $120 is only fair when you consider airport pricing.

Still, there are some great options at different price points here. The half bottle of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée for 2,400 miles is a strong option if you just want a glass or two. You won’t find a nicer bottle of champagne in a U.S. airport lounge than Bollinger at 9,200 SkyMiles. And after upgrading their champagne game earlier this year, Taittinger is also what you’ll get flying Delta One in long-haul business class these days.

To order, just walk up to the bar and tell the bartender you’d like to order some champagne – and pay with SkyMiles. After flashing your ID, the bartender will likely ask to scan your boarding pass for your SkyMiles number to charge your account.

If you get a bottle, they may also give you a bucket of ice if you’d like to drink your bottle away from the bar.
 

You can also order other premium drinks using SkyMiles, including wines, liquor (like a pour of Johnnie Walker Blue Label for 2,200 SkyMiles), and even craft cocktails. We’ve even seen some special alcohol selections or seasonal cocktails available.

Still, there’s something fun about popping a bottle of champagne before your trip in the lounge.

While it’s not available at every single Sky Club, many of Delta’s flagship lounges have full bar service where you can buy champagne and other drinks using SkyMiles. And for the most part, all the new lounges Delta is building have them, too.

Bottom Line
