I thought I was on the DL forum when I read this. Add one more thread to the list of many on how DL allocates awards.
Many people are trying to get awards for June, July, and August to Europe and there is not one standard award anywhere in BC (that is what they are posting.. I did test ORD-MAD for that time frame and did not see one online).
Hope the person looking at accumulating miles on AA or DL is reading this thread and all the ones on DL to make a prudent decision.
