I was attempting to book NYC(LGA)-GDL connecting through ATL and was fine with the outgoing route but DL.com is connecting me through LAX-JFK on the return to get a $917 fare. When I try a multi city booking the fares returning through ATL are simply ridiculous starting at $1321. Needless to say I don't want to have to travel the extra hours being routed through LAX. The travel dates are 3/18-3/22.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
