I think your best bet is to try for 2 business seats on a 2 class airbus.

I was able to contact my "good friend" at Delta, Luis F. Montejo, and get 22 SS award seats from BOS->HNL over Christmas 
I wouldn't be snug about that if I were you...
It will be very surprising IF Delta hasn't already cancelled
any open award-tickets issued to or through this fellow ....
just like the mileage and award tickets et al stuff people are dumb enough to buy via rBay sellers...

Scored just like dh1
Scored two SkySaver BE, RT TPA to MXP in May 08 for 90,000 skymiles each! Skysavers only lasted 24 hrs though. I tried to book for a couple friends one day after I booked mine.....only SkyChoice left.

Two first class Skysavers, PHX-CVG-MCO, MCO-ATL-PHX for May 2008.
We're actually connecting to Iceland Air for a trip to Iceland. Since their tickets from Orlando Sanford are about $200 cheaper than their other US gateways, we did it this way and will take a little stopover in Orlando.

I got mine!
I had to does some crazy routing for mine but here it goes.
Skysaver 50,000 miles. The majority of the flights are Air France.
May 1 2008 Outbound:
ATL - IAD - CDG - WAW
May 18 2008 Return:
OTP - CDG - JFK/LGA - ATL
Waitlisted on OTP-ATL direct.
And as a warning to all bookers! If you book ANY Skymiles tickets and have to transfer from JFK to LGA or vice versa you have to pay for your own transport. The CSR that booked me called customer service to verify and found out that the free shuttle does not apply to skymiles ticket holders. I think its BS that I have to pay an extra $13 for the normal transfer bus but oh well. Hopefully I will get rebooked on the return flight anyways.

Well a nice gift from above and at the right time too. I have been burning the bank out for the last 4 years from its height of 500K to today at 578miles. Got the best one ever FLL-ATL-ATH-ATL-FLL BE. In late August to boot and a Skysaver for a total of 90k. WOW!!

Scored SkySaver Business Elite for 2008
I just got two SkySaver Business Elite tickets for August/September 2008 for ATL-ATH-ATL. I had to call 331 days out for each leg, but it was worth it. Total miles for two tix = 180,000.
