i logged on to see if amex miles posted correctly
it took several clicks.
my first thought was
"oh, they don't want you to see how many miles you have, lest you actually use them... they'd rather you just buy a revenue ticket"

Once you are logged in, which is from a practicality standpoint, in my opinion a must do, the homepage looks the same as it did before.
Maybe I am in the minority on how I use the page, but no matter how I look at it logging in is always better for what I would possibly use the site for:
Flight Status
Medallion Qualification Status
How Many Miles do I have
Quoting or Purchasing a Flight Reward with Miles
Re-booking a delayed flight, or quoting to change a flight
Viewing the Upgrade list
Seeing anything about your Skymiles Account
The only thing that I can think of that I wouldn't log in for, is if I were picking someone up at the airport. Even that I don't do with Delta.com as they are less accurate than flight aware.
If there is something I am missing, it might make my life easier, so please share.

Route-specific, or maybe the itin has, say, a K-up available round-trip only?

It also didn't work on multi city for me, where I would be okay with MSY-SEA in Y but want SEA-ATL in F.

What kind of idiots are doing website design these days?
Why keep adding additional steps/clicks just to log in or to see your information?
What was wrong with being able to log in from the main site and actually see your miles and status listed under your name? They stupid popup window on the right just is annoying and gets in the way.

Well at least Delta made it possible to book difference cabins on round award travel trips;
Starting July 21, 2016, SkyMiles Members will enjoy more flexibility when booking Award Travel, so you have even more opportunities than ever to enjoy new places and experiences. So what is the change? You will now have the option to book different cabins on the outbound and return flights of the same round-trip ticket. This means you can relax in Delta Comfort+™ on your way to your destination and enjoy our premium Delta One™ cabin to return home refreshed and rested.

I'm betting that the old login part of the homepage had some security deficiency which was identified and most quickly addressed by taking the login off the homepage and making you login on a separate page...

The login fields were active while the page was still loading. This could take the focus away from password textbox as you were typing it.
Regardless, bookmarking the login page has always been faster.
