I would guess that DL would be talking around $400 at most for the ticket.
If the freebie they give you is transferable, let us know. I would pay more for it depending on the fine print.
I agree that Delta made us a nice offer. But I already have over 250,000 miles to use, and I understand that these free tickets come out of the same bucket as reward tickets. I've been frustrated using the miles for travel when my family can go, hence worry the ticket would be wasted. I haven't decided yet whether to ask for something different, was just wondering if others had any similar experience.
Ticket can't really be transferred, as "If the certificate is issued in an individual's name, the certificate may be used by a different person as long as the original recipient is traveling with that person in the same reservation." Hence, I can use it for my wife if we are traveling together, which is what I'll probably end up doing.
Thanks for the input.
