use the link provided to determine VS miles cost for award travel on DL.
use the DL website to find standard award inventory on DL flights.
if you find that too confusing, use the AF website instead.
call VS to book.

Needed 3 ANA Y seats for next summer (LHR-HND, peak time so cash prices are high). Found availability on ANA website. Called VS, they could see the 3 seats and submitted the request to ANA. ANA declined the request. I re-checked ANA website and the 3 seats were still there. Disappointed...

Any idea why VS miles cannot be used to book a one-way ticket on DL, but the reverse is true? It is already so difficult to book DL awards and on top of that being unable to book one-ways is annoying. Is VS not even trying to ask for one-way awards in its negotiations with partners?

Now with VX disappearing as a partner, wish VS would fight for one-way awards on DL at least.

DL JFK-DKR in J using VS miles: booked.
It took an hour on the phone to VS, but I was able to book two r/t DL tickets in J for JFK-DKR (Dakar, Senegal), 120k miles per person. Combined taxes for two pax were $240.
DL runs the recently modified 757-200-75S on the route, so I should get some good rest in the Delta One flat-beds.

I have no idea what the agent did, but...it appears I was charged 140k points for two first class round trip tickets, ATL-LHR and MUC-ATL on DL (using VA points.) I expected 200k total. Thoughts?

MUC-ATL round trip cost for coach is 60K, business is 100K
Your 2 tickets should have cost 190K.
Maybe your ATL-LHR is in coach :-)
