Last year I was looking to book a Cancun trip from LAX. Did find some sporadic stuff at the 35K miles levels with DL but there was one caveat: there were overnight layovers and multiple stops: total travel time for the R/T's range between 40 and 56 hrs. I remember that on one of the outbound flights I would have had like a 4 hr layover in MSP and a 16 hr layover in ATL. Seriously! Not to mention the extra flying because of the routing. I was like, "Hmmm what should I do: 20 hrs waiting at airport terminals or 20 hrs on the beach drinking margaritas." I ended up booking with United with a total R/T travel time of just under 13 Hrs.
