Marc, I already called Delta, and they wanted 180K each for hypothetical dates. If that turns out to be the case because only DL metal is available outbound, we may actually bite the bullet and use Regent Air. As you well know, SkyMiles are a pain because they don't have one-way awards, so we need return flights to be available--at least I do--because I am no longer a Platinum and can't keep changing without incurring change fees.

I already saw Bangkok Day Tours listed as a recommended company, and Gail has never been to Bangkok, so Helen's itinerary is of interest to us.
