Since I have 0 experience with DL awards, maybe someone here can help a bit.
I have two awards in Asia with China Southern and China Airlines booked for August. Due to the wife being pregnant, we won't be able to take the trip. I'm prepared to throw away the miles since I'm not willing to pay $600 redeposit fees for a lousy 35000 miles. The China Southern trip has a 15 min schedule change which I know doesn't allow me to cancel for free. Delta told me pregnancy is not an acceptable reason to get the redeposit fee waived. Does anyone know if I HUCA enough that I will find an agent who will at least waive the fees for the first trip for me? I work at an airport so will station agents be able to better help me? Any chance at all to somehow get around the second trips fees?
Thanks
