Is Delta an option for using points to LA?

[Rdarby]

Delta is a partner and on the Virgin Australia site, when looking at rewards availability from Brisbane to LA in January, I see Delta flies the route. In the past I have flown to LA but only on VA metal.

However there are no business rewards available on VA, never seem to be. Is Delta something we can try directly? I can't figure out how to do it, if it is an option.

Thanks for the advice!

DL shows up when an award is available ... +++ is about $500 each way.

When searching on Delta there is two options coming up, 150000 miles and 240000 miles
I think. Is the 150k applicable to VAs award seats?

Tomorrow SYD-LAX - as you can see if you book the same flight on the VA codeshare it's more for some reason.

The VA codeshare 1mil points offer is not an award flight. It's just a normal seat paid with points which cost over 1 million points. DL40 is the proper business award seat costing nearly 90% less in points
