We are planning to do precisely what you are talking about but not until 2007. The way I thought it went was that 120K skymiles bought one first class ticket. I haven't contacted Delta yet, but I guess I will now, otherwise I may not go. The cost of a first class seat was prohibitive and 14 hours is a little long for the cheap seats. I have to make my safari reservations in March so if anyone has the answer that would be great. We plan to go in the middle of April, is that a good time?
