It is all down to your negotiations skill and knowing the facts about the load for the flight and alternative bookings (with DL and then ST partners). I have been taken to SE Asia from DTW flying AF the other way in Affaires as part of my "settlement"
Yes, when I said $400 is the limit programmed into that system I meant the system that asks you for a VDB bid ahead of time. Once you are actually in negotiations there is a lot of flexibility.
