Just booked Business Class LAX-BNE on VA for 12/29. No muss, no fuss, called up VA and got seat 3A. Fees were about $30 (which strikes me as just being airport taxes and the like). Turned around and cancelled the ticket I'd booked through DL (which has been refunded, since they can't handle vouchers/Delta Dollars in CAD). Even accounting for the $450 refund fee on the DL end of things, I'm thrilled beyond belief that this came together.
