VDB Options
Booked a mileage run to HKG from SEA and decided to turn it into a 5 day trip for fall 2014. With the new direct route starting, I'm really hoping the Delta system won't have an effective baseline with respect to overbooking and so I'm hoping for wild bump VDB opportunities.
I've only ever heard of vouchers being offered as part of an international VDB. Has anyone been able to negotiate anything other than vouchers, like SkyMiles or class of service upgrade?
For example, instead of a $600 voucher I'd have to get at least 60,000 to be indifferent between the two options (actually, I'd probably want more miles since Skymiles do not earn MQMs unless I pay with miles to FC)
