Yes. I by 1st class tickets for my parents a couple times a year and it has always been cheaper just to buy on delta.com. Buy confirmed less always demands a few hundred dollars more per ticket. Experiment with it and see for yourself. The norm for me is that It's almost always a better deal on delta.com. My results are skewed due to the fact that I'm buying my parents tickets over holidays and busy travel times. I'm not saying there aren't opportunities to save $$ thru BCFL, but I always seem to strike out on that option.
