Trying dummy bookings, the non-stop SLC-LHR on 11/12 (Sunday) appears to be gone. I haven't looked at the return options yet.
Delta.com shows BOI-SEA-LHR (SEA-LHR on Virgin) as being available on 11/12. However, to get in Delta One/Business the tickets show as available if we pay cash, but not available using miles. Can we get switched to those flights?
If low award space on VS is available, yes. If not, typically it's not possible for DL to rebook onto another airline. Ask.

Yes, when rebooking on a DL flight, so long as a seat is available (no matter what price), DL can move you to that flight at no cost.
