Effective December 14, SkyMiles members may combine restricted and unrestricted awards, and coach and first-class awards, on the same itinerary. So, for example, members can book a domestic flight using restricted first class on the outbound and return using restricted coach. The price would be 35,000 miles (half the 45,000 miles normally required for a restricted first-class roundtrip, plus half the 25,000 miles for restricted coach).
Such award mixing and matching isn't new. Among the largest programs, US Airways permits Dividend Miles members to combine Mileage Saver (restricted), Premium (unrestricted), coach and first-class segments on the same itinerary for flights booked on usairways.com. And Northwest allows its members to combine restricted and unrestricted award segments, but not to mix classes of service.
But the new policy does give Delta a significant competitive advantage over American and United, which will hopefully spur them to match.
Let's not forget that this is a solution to a problem of Delta's own making: such mixing and matching wouldn't be necessary if it weren't for Delta's self-imposed capacity controls on lower-priced awards.

Want ads with that?
Newly launched e-Miles links mileage collectors (who tend to be highly desirable customers) with companies wishing to market their products and services to them. In return for reading and responding to a marketer's message, consumers earn miles in the programs of Continental, Delta, Northwest, or US Airways.
According to the company, participants can earn 20-30 miles per minute spent viewing ads. Ads are offered to participants selectively, based on their member profile and preferences.
Note that miles are deposited into participants' accounts quarterly and only if 500 or more miles have accumulated, so don't expect instant gratification.
