JL is not that much, but for RTW (8 flights) can be also $1000+.
Really most European FFPs.
With LH for example sure I'll pay $1000+ in YQ/YR, but I get two stopovers and an open-jaw, and I pay 70K for RT that with DL as OW with no stopover will be more than that, and UA for the same flights (with stopovers, so 4 segments) would be also about thrice as much cost in miles. Plus if booking LH flights I get availability that is not there via other FFPs.
So, what I meant was, where you pay more $, you pay less in miles. Just DL is getting so greedy to charge more $$ while also the highest prices in the industry in miles, often more than double of others, while giving you no stopovers, no open jaws (under an RT fare I mean), nothing.
