I knew that you can get J award to China for 240K. Some days it's even worse. I saw 350K before.
But UA/AA/CO offer 125K on many dates. Plus partner airlines such as NH, CA.
And 145K for first class.
We are talking about your hard earned miles. For average people, the difference between 125K and 240K is huge.
Basically DL wants a lot more of your miles, based on greed.
