Delta is telling me 115,000 miles. I think it should be 80,000 miles. Am I right?
If 115,000 is actually correct, what aspect of this itinerary makes it more expensive?
If it should be 80,000, how do you suggest getting Delta to do this? I already asked for it to be manually priced and after a long hold they came back and said it was certainly 115,000 miles....
Have had this issue before.
My solution was/ is to only use the award seats in Biz from USA-DEL or BOM-USA
Any within India travel ...... I just book the travel paying cash.
