I agree that the flash sales are not great, but there has been some really good availability on many routes. However, at least during the sale last fall, I was able to get SFO-SEA-AMS with 13:25 hours of travel time for 98K miles. And flying from SFO I expect to have to make connections to stay loyal to DL.
