Is it anticipated that DL will modify award chart as well? In our houesehold we have several SkyMiles accounts with significant balance. We (family of 3) fly to Europe once per year and this year we decided to fly in coach (to save miles for future trips). But reading about upcoming changes, I don't want those miles to worth nothing and thinking about redeeming for Business class. Would it be a stupid move? Maybe DL just wants to scary people to burn their SM balance.
This is exactly what I did for my summer trip to Europe... instead of sitting in the back, I decided to burn a few more miles and book J. I was lucky to find routes with the new 767 J seats, so I might have done it anyway. But with the "rumors", (which I don't put much stock in), I thought I would hedge my bet and not leave too many skypesos in my pocket.
Good luck finding any availability now... about a week ago the entire summer calender turned blue!
