Currently EWR-ATL-LIM-BOG can be had for 35K one way on D1 - seems to be available most Tuesdays in February
Lots of flying but guarantees a bed on the overnight portion

4 Y tickets

Got 4 tickets in Y for Portland - Charlotte, costing 27k e.a roundtrip + $11.20 taxes, so paid $108k DL miles + $11.20 for 4 tickets cross country. Cash fare was about $360 so about 1.3 cpp.

JFK-BOG non-stop is a D1 route on a 767 with lie-flat seats from Oct 29 - Mar 24th and the award is only slightly more miles. You can also avoid having to take a red-eye flight (and get back close to 10 hours of your time).

Last minute D1 RT MEX-ATH. 150K

D1 MEX-ATL--BOS-ATH AUGUST 3RD (Yeah birthday!)

D1 ATH-ATL-ORD-MEX AUGUST 10TH Depart, Arrive AUGUST 11.

Both directions 75k. 150k total. Booked yesterday.

All DL except ORD-MEX

Note the return would not show when searched as RT. However calling in agent had no issue booking. (Wanted on one ticket so no YQ charged ex-EU)

SCL-LAX is on LATAM.

Looks like a good deal for Y.

Maybe this thread is silent because no one is having successes.

CHS-JFK-LAX-JFK-CHS 20k points round trip, with RUC applied to outbound flight for FC/D1 instantly confirmed was pretty good in my books.

MIA - SCL for 100k/person in J on LATAM. Old 789 (unless there is a last minute swap) but then again it appears DL is actually using the LATAM A350s on the ATL - SCL route for the same dates so it's literally the same seat for 1/4 the price (DL is asking for 410k on the same date/time) and I'm flying with my wife so don't mind the 2-2-2 arrangement (we flew it once before on the LATAM 789 for the fun tag leg of SYD - AKL).

Can't get it to price with RDU - MIA in there so will just buy that separately (defaults to an all DL metal routing for 410k instead of giving me RDU - MIA - SCL on mixed DL/LATAM metal)

Not the best but better than some of the other nonsense I'm seeing from DL.com recently.

Now just have to figure out how to get home (Y is pricing at 270k and J is 450k because it's DL metal only, no LATAM metal available at the moment)

DL has D1 awards on MIA-SCL route from 110K miles, but they are seasonally restricted. Also have a lengthy 90 day AP. As far as RDU-SCL, the cheapest D1 awards are 190K each-way, but require a roundtrip award booking. You will never see the 190K D1 awards on RDU-SCL if you are searching as one ways due to the roundtrip booking requirement.

52,000 miles for MEX-JFK-RDU in J/F. MEX-JFK is on an AM 788 as well. The cheapest Y options were $690 and cheapest J $1,162 so I'm quite happy with this.
