I have found my DL companion ticket a bit difficult to use due to the restrictions. The first ticket purchased must be $325 or more domestic and $490 or more for Europe. There is a deadline for travel that is April 5 for Europe and July 31 for domestic. This gave me about 6 - 9 months to use it in either case.

Since I pay a fee for the DL Skymiles Card and charge tens of thousands of dollars per year I would like to see a companion ticket with lower restrictions. My ticket may go to waste.
