Chance to fly the new DL A350 (Sky Suite) with FB miles
Last week was announced that Delta would start flying in the new 359 from DTW to AMS (starting 31st of March).
The 359 feature's the brand new Sky Suite product.
Therefore all other 359 flights that are on sale are only available for the highest possible miles option to Skymiles members. FB members can only buy award tickets if the lowest possible award is available (no flex option on DL for FB members).
As soon as I heard this. I looked at availibilty and made a guess which flight would get the 259. So I booked two trips (cancelling the other now
and waiting. Only to find out 3 days later that they made the change to the DL132/133 flight. It now shows Sky Suite and 359 configuration.
They haven't changed to pricing yet though, so at the moment you can still book a seat on the 359 flight for the lowest possible amounts of miles for Skymiles AND FB members.
So if anybody wants to try out this brand new product. You can for only 62.500 FB miles. Seems a bargain to me! Be quick, I'm guessing they will up the price pretty quickly and that means it will be no longer available for FB members for quite some time.

I called the FB line and they could book it for me. Seems there is a problem with booking on this route maybe. I also couldn't search on the calendar, but had to request available flights per specific date. (so do not click the 3 days before/after option)
