- I would not expect the redeposit benefit to extend to BE award tickets, because they can't be redeposited. standard tickets can, with a fee. In this case, my guess is that DL will say that there is no fee to be waived because the option just does not exist.
I guess I'm thinking that, the route I'd most likely be willing to do a BE ticket on, would be PIT/NYC, and there aren't any middle seats on those planes!
