I have not been observing the FF programs for years, despite the fact that I have been accumulating a significant number of Delta Skymiles. I was used to the awards programs of the past in which I could use say 30,000 miles for a RT coach ticket in the Continental US. Looking now at the Delta reservation side, it appears that you now use miles to offset the posted ticket cost at 10,000 for each $100 of fare. Is that just an another way of using miles in addition to the Award Ticket or is this the only way to use Skymiles now? And if the Award Ticket program is no longer used at Delta, is this the same across the board for other airlines? Yikes! I feel as if I had just woken up from a Rip Van Winkle sleep to discover that a pay phone call costs $10.
