And flying from SFO I expect to have to make connections to stay loyal to DL.

I've done redemptions connecting through SEA. That's fine I understand it's part of it.

It will add 3-4 hours over a nonstop TATL.

But when the sale routings add 9 or 10 hours to an outbound over a connecting routing, then it's not worth it.
