I looked at a random mid-week date in late Mar --
  • the AS nonstop (evening departure, on a 738) is $158 in coach and $728 in F
  • DL's evening trip, routing over LAX on E75/739, is $198 in coach and $410 in G
  • DL has several other options during the day over LAX and SLC (and they even display connections via MSP/DTW/ATL); equipment obviously varies with the route but pretty much everything shows up (CR9, 738, 320, 757) ... coach fares as low as $152, G at $410, and A at $433 (surprisingly, this is also on the DTW routing)

if I had the time to kill (1230pm departure, 3-hr layover; arrives about the same time as the AS nonstop), I'd seriously consider that DTW option (CR9/739) for the MQMs
