The gods are smiling, the planets aligned! This week scored 1 F seat Emirates JFK-DXB r/t in May and 1 F seat Singapore Airlines SFO-SIN r/t (with stopover in HKG on return) in November. Even cleared F seats for the DL domestic portion on both trips. Surprising, as my return from SFO to JAX for the SQ trip is over Thanksgiving weekend.
The very helpful folks at the Delta desk both remarked the Emirates F/J awards seemed to be more plentiful the last 2-3 months, with Singapore F still tougher.
