In January and February, it's mostly in the 105,000–116,000 range, though there are some dates around Valentine's Day for 50,000 miles round-trip. For Delta One business-class, the cheapest between now and the end of March was 150,000 for two days in February. On many dates Delta wants 560,000 miles round-trip for business-class, which is highway robbery if you ask me.
Careful, @LBJ will come here and highlight the one random Tuesday to the one random European city that we didn't even know DL flies to on a 763 and show us how we're wrong that these 86K one way J fares don't exist..
