Delta to Tel Aviv: September 6 restart opens SkyMiles award seats

Club Eurostar is raising all Channel Tunnel redemption prices by 10% from 29 October. A Standard Value return jumps from 2,000 to 2,200 points, and Premier Anytime returns go from 6,000 to 6,600. Upgrades from Standard to Plus are also changing: from a flat 600 points to 650 or 900 points one-way depending on reward seat availability. Thalys services and upgrades remain at current rates, so the Channel Tunnel becomes the pricier side of the program.

Delta is beginning crew training next week for a revamped Delta One soft product. The new meals, beverages, service flow, and amenities will debut on long-haul flights from LAX in fall 2026, then roll out across the network through 2027. Award travelers on Delta One should note that during the transition, different aircraft and routes may have different service levels. The physical seats are not changing with this update — the changes focus on the onboard experience.
