With DL you cannot quallify for the free ticket with T class fares. However, one plus with DL's offer is that it allows nonstop or connecting service from NY/BOS to either CA/FL. AA's offer only applies to nonstop FL/CA flights. As for using the free ticket, I too could not stand it on an intl in Y. I would probably use the free tickets on shuttle, commuter flights (believe it or not those fares can be very high) or I would give them to someone who does not mind flying Y over the pond. Most people would be thrilled to fly Y over the pond. We are among such a small segment of the population who has ever or let alone regularly flys in J or F.
