Delta has launched a new business class, called Delta One, award salle for travel between the United States and Europe.
SkyMiles members can book Delta-operated flights, no partners allowed, at 148,000 miles return + taxes.
You can access this sale on Delta’s website here.
The offer is valid for travel through January 4, 2023, but there are some blackout dates around the holidays. You must book this offer by 11:59 PM ET on June 29.
Note that the discounted award pricing also works ex-Europe, and open-jaw is allowed. All the flights, however, must be Delta operated (no feeders on airlines such as Air France or KLM).

Conclusion
Delta has previously had award sales at 98,000 miles between the United States and Europe, but even 148,000 is a reasonable number in the current environment.
If you have been contemplating using SkyMiles for business class award travel between the US and Europe, now is likely a good time to finalize the booking.
