I can vouch for that! I'm flying from a midwest city that only has one DL flight a day, in the early AM. I already had a multi-day stopover, so they wouldn't let me have a 5 hour stopover at MSP, but they would let me hopscotch across the country to get home. So, now it's XXX-MSP-LAX-SFO-PDX. It will be a day full of fun, drinking, airplane food, and flying!
