Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....

Hi, I need help from you travel gurus if possible.

I'm landing in Arlanda / Stockholm at 720am and hoping to catch the 810am flight from Stockholm to Amsterdam. Is this enough time to make the flight?

They're separate tickets that I'm buying, although the airline is the same (Scandinavian Airlines) so should be the same terminal. Also flying business and won't be checking luggage.

Thanks!!
