Routing is RDU - DTW - ICN - BKK // SIN - ICN - MSP - RDU.

It's actually cheaper for me to do RDU - BKK ($600) and then separately book KE for SIN - ICN ($600) and then do a 3rd reservation for ICN - RDU on DL metal ($1000) which comes to $2200. For some reason at least on my dates (Friday or Saturday in mid-October) it forces SIN - RDU into a Y fare which blows pricing out of control and I'm just confused why DL hasn't added a through fare on SIN - RDU that books into the usual lower fare buckets.

FWIW fares ex-SIN are generally always cheaper than EX-US. It's why I book on US-SIN a year, departing and returning a year apart. I then book the rest of my flights as ex-SIN. Save thousands a year.

FYI, (I know broken record) DL7933 frequently has slight delays. MSP is usually the one DL flight though you can count on making. The other DL flights wont with even slight delays. I know work after my snafu looked back at coworkers past misconnects from DL7933 being delayed. I was far from only person that misconnected from DL7933. The only flight to US they let us book now is DL170 if booking DL7933.
