If you have 25,000 Chase points, you have enough points for a round trip economy flight to Italy. Let me explain. Chase points don't transfer to Delta. They transfer to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at 1:1, and Virgin is a Delta and SkyTeam partner, so you book Delta, Air France and KLM through Virgin instead. ✅ JFK to Rome, Air France, 12,000 points + $184 ✅ Rome to JFK, KLM, 12,000 points + €227 ✅ 24,000 Chase points round trip Not flying out of New York? Atlanta prices the same at 12,000 points each way. Want the nonstop? Virgin prices Delta at 30,000 points each way out of either hub. That's 60,000 Chase points for a round trip Delta charges 117,100 SkyMiles plus $93 for in its own program. Check this before you book any of them. Air France and KLM pass carrier surcharges through on awards, and $184 out plus €227 back is real money when January cash fares run $400 to $650. Add your points and your cash, then compare that total to the cash fare. Short on points? The Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited both have no annual fee and are offering 100,000 points after $8,000 in spend in the first four months. Highest they've ever gone, and both are expected to end within the next couple of weeks. To move those points to Virgin, pair them with a Sapphire or Ink Preferred.
