Forgive me if this is in a forum already. I looked. I couldn't find it.

We canceled our Europe trip due to wife having Shingles (the worst thing EVERY). Our Delta One tickets were 70K a piece ONE WAY. Yep, 70K. Now trying to book for next summer. But im seeing now that seats in Delta one LAX to AMS late June one way are 280K!!!! WHAT??? i called Delta Sky Miles and they said that that was the one way price indeed. Really. over triple the miles now????? I'm floored. Maybe i shouldn't be. I figured you smarties could explain in no time at all. In advance, thank you for your help and patience.
