Wow. That was fast. Thank you. Excuse my Ignorance. How do I do that? I book on Delta and they will automatically book it on VA or I need to specify VA?

You can't use Skymiles for F on any airline.

So here comes a guy and asks how he can get to Australia in first class and Dan says Virgin Australia with Delta miles.

Then he says but you can't book it with DL miles.

I'm not sure who's the meshugener here

Most n00bs confuse international business and first.
("DAN, What's better Delta, United, or USairways to Israel in first class")

But an esteemed meshugener should know better.

Thank you everyone for your help

 1. Delta online only gives me business class from NY-LA when  request business. Am I doing something wrong?
 2. I have amex points that transfers to Delta. The problem is it takes time to transfer and the ticket  may not be available when the miles post to Delta. Any ideas?
3. is that the best/only option with amex points? to transfer to Delta?

Thank you
