A good sale to Athens. Yes, you can find this for cheaper on Ukraine International Airlines by about $200. But a few things to consider:

1. Ukraine International uses a 767 with 8 across so the seat is really tight. Is slightly better comfort worth the $200? That’s for you to decide.
2. Ukraine International’s flight doesn’t earn miles, although the Delta miles earned isn’t worth $200.
