Sounds like this pricing issue needs to be escalated to a supervisor.
I thought about that too, but I used my DL miles to fly on SU for 20K in Zone 1 (no such mileage level in ST charts), making me think that somehow SU's mileage levels make their way into DL systems. Neither destinations of OP fall into ST/DL's definition of North Asia (although they are certainly there ...)
