I grabbed it - considering my PS ticket was only $650. Had two windows to choose from, 6A and 8A, so I had to take one of those and hope an odd number row seat opens up later on before the flight.
I think this was a great offer, but some might consider it just OK or average. But I'm happy with the result.
It's probably the best Delta is ever going to offer, but I do think they still win huge with the marketing trick of $999 + $999 sounding worlds better to customers as two separate purchases than a $2,000 ticket. In this case if I understand it sounds like you're now in for $1,349 on a half-round-trip basis which is a pretty good fare although not shocking for the SEA-TPE route which seems to be particularly distressed at the moment at least based on past sales (especially for miles).
