Delta Aware Tickets -- best dates/lowest requirements!
Headed back to Italy in 2016. Business class either Spring or Fall -- our favorite times to go. I use to make my reservations 331 days ahead at 11pm. First minute of first day. Does not work well now.
Anybody have feel which month -- April, May, September or October has lower mileage requirements -- if any pattern at all? Which days of the week may have lower requirements? Is it better to make reservations 11 months ahead or wait until a later date?
Appreciate your sharing your experience. Thanks!

I've had best luck with middle of the week tickets - Tu/Wed in particular. Was able to get Business Class tix 62,500 each way each for next March on United; also got one way taken care of on Delta this September with same number, 62,500, traveling out on a Wednesday.

Thanks everybody! I made reservations with AMEX miles through Delta on AF flights. Houston to Venice; Naples to Houston in the NEW Business Class seats. 125,000 each. That is the least I have paid in several years. Very pleased. Traveling on a Tuesday and returning two weeks later also on a Tuesday. Going mid April. That may be the major key.
