OP - if you would, please report back when you make your reservation as to the fare the system is showing in your reservation confirmation.

Thanks

Sorry, been off line for a bit. The booking class is S, Y and is valid on KL, DL and DL designated flights operated by a slew of airlines. This was compensation for a diversion that stuck us in Labrador for about 24 hours last July 7..

After a lot of confusion, I finally got what is probably the definitive answer. I have to commence flying by July 9, 2011 (the redeem by date) and finish by July 8, 2012 (the one-year limitation). The explanation given me is that because flights can be changed/cancelled, Delta considers a certificate redeemed only if it has been used for a flight. Thus, the "redeem by" date should be thought of as a "initiate travel by" date.

Thanks to all who responded.
