Multiple business class tickets using FF miles on Delta
I'm new to this forum but was wondering if anyone has had any luck obtaining more than one business class ticket on Delta using FF miles. We were mainly interested in LAS - BKK and do have flexibility with dates but in all of my searching, there were multiple dates with 1 ticket but never 2.
I also search from LAX to various destinations in Europe and found one ticket available but never more than one. Thanks

You mean that only one ticket was available, or only one ticket was available at the mileage level you wanted to pay?
There are rarely days when no award tickets are available or when only 1 is avaialble. DL is almost always willing to sell an award ticket for high mileage. Unless the cabin is already fully booked or there's only 1 seat left, etc.
What's the date range?

I usually redeem 3 pairs of business class tickets (6 total) LAX-CDG every year, DL tickets, AF metal. Always at low miles. Plan as far out as possible and be VERY flexible with your dates. Keep hunting. It takes time and patience. You can also call and hope to get an agent that will work with you to find what you want. Sometimes a second or third call results in a different answer. Good luck.

There are lots of threads on this, but overall, you first should check US gateway city - BKK, then LAS - gateway city. Sometimes you can get tix from the gateway city but LAS (or pick a US city) to the US gateway city is not available, and that gets the response "not available".

Third option..I didn't check the black out dates for KE (Korean Airlines), but this might be another option.

Oh..and don't depend on the DL website for finding award seats. It is a well known fact that it does not work......in any shape or form. You will have to use alternate forms to search for award seats (ie Expert Flyer, Air France website, KVS, etc.). Once you find the seats, you will need to call DL and spoon feed the exact information to the CSA in hopes of getting the seats.
