The program says that there are no blackout dates. The flights I am interested in are operated by KLM , but have a Delta (DL) flight number. Based on my searches for various flight dates though out the year at delta.com these non-stop flights seem to be blacked out for the regular sky miles rewards program. The cost of the flights for next July are currently around $1,500, so my understanding of this program is that I will need to use about 150,000 miles to pay wish miles for the flight. Can anyone tell me if these flights are eligible for this program. In the terms and conditions of the programs it says:

No blackouts means that Pay with Miles can be used for any eligible flight available at delta.com on any day of the year. No inventory restriction means that Pay with Miles can be used for any open seat on any eligible domestic or international flight available at delta.com.
You can't use pay with miles on klm flights. It has to be a flight operated by delta. You can go thru a connecting city and pay with miles. I.e. SFO-ATL-AMS
