it's been a long time since I tried to cash in my DL miles... I was "surprised" at how expensive the TPAC awards in Delta One Suite were. always 500,000 to 690,000 miles round trip on almost every date I checked for the next several months for US West Coast to places like Taipei and Seoul? (strangely, I have been able to use my UA miles to those places at a much more reasonable number of miles of under 200,000)
