I am doing this on Sunday so I will let you know how it goes.
Yes it is an award ticket. (Delta stock 006) was 120K miles roundtrip in business class (G/O inventory) vs. 210-385K on any other routing roundtrip in business class. (In fact it was lower then some of the Y class on DL which was up to 200K roundtrip). Might have been my best use of a devalued Skypeso in years.
