Looking for recommendations to get from East Coast US to Bali, April 2023. I have 120K miles on Delta, but interested in partners or other airlines with good deals on better seats - like Delta comfort+ or business class. I’m in Boston but fine with flights originating elsewhere.

Thanks D1. I’ll research your suggestions. I did a trip to Australia on miles nearly 20 years ago and it was definitely a lot of work and persistence even then. I was lucky enough to connect with a very kind Delta agent who stayed in touch for weeks to help me get the flights I needed. I ended up on Korean Airlines with multiple legs, but it was totally worth it!

Thanks for your offer of help. I’ll try to DM you for contact info.

Any other miles? 120k delta miles won’t get you that far in J class.

I did actually see a couple of flights where I could get Delta comfort+ for around that or less.

Get a PPL fly yourself. Won’t regret it.

SA1 - could you please share a few more details? I’m not really clear on your reference but very open to suggestions. Thank you.

I went 6 years ago in J on Delta/Virgin Australia mix… through Australia obviously. Long way, but it was honeymoon and fun trip in J. I think we paid 160K RT each ticket. Most options I see now are through Korea due to KE partnership. That’s probably best bet? Another option might be a Chinese carrier through JFK for you. It’s tough to piece together. Literally took me 80+ hours to plan that trip.
