I know that many of you have had frustrating experience with unavailability of seats recently, and I am asking for your help if anyone has been able to find a solution for a problem similar to mine.

I have about 300,000 miles on Delta SkyMiles, but am not an Elite status traveler (I am on COntinental and American). I am trying to use mu miles (I am told it costs 120,000 miles) to get a BUsiness class ticket from NY to bangkok. Delta is telling me that for my traveling dates (October 27-November 6), there are no Business Class seats available on their partner airlines (Korean Air, Continental, and Northwest), for the longer leg of the trip, which is either NY/Tokyo or NY/Seoul (same for the return flight). I know i can keep checking with them every week to see if anything opens up, but does anyone have any other suggestion?...your help in this matter is greatly appreciated
