The Delta site was showing 240,000 each way pp. And we have flexibility.
Make sure you select flexible days in your Delta search and put in 5 week calendar starting October 1 (click on advanced search to get to these additional features). That will give you a snapshot based on length of stay to find the 160k that you need. That's how I found the above (using a 7 day length of stay).

Check PDX, SEA, and LAX though as MSPeconomist noted above, don't be shocked if you can find LAX - PDX - NRT at the lowest level but can't find PDX - NRT at the lowest level, DL plays games with married segment availability that can cause this.

I don't see anything at 160k from MFR (lowest is 210k) but I am seeing 160k from PDX (example: October 4th PDX - NRT and then October 11th HND - LAX - PDX)

Side-note: Congrats on the future twin grandbabies!!
