What is the best way to go about securing that? We are flexible re dates, so is my best bet calling up Delta and bothering the poor agent for an hour or two until we find something that will have availability for the both of us? Or get an ExpertFlyer subscription? If so, what bucket would I be looking for?
Thanks! DD

I'd bother the poor agent. Delta set up this ridiculous system, so my opinion is that you shouldn't waste your time or money doing the dirty work yourself.
