I'd do that because I love to fly, not just because I love Delta.
I flew a route with similar out-of-the-way ratio last year, but much greater distances. I flew ACC-DXB-IAD. There is actually a nonstop ACC-IAD flight operated by South African, but it was considerably more expensive. Instead of flying 10,592 miles (17,046 km) round trip, I flew 21,958 miles (35,338 km), or just more than double. Anyway, who doesn't love flying Emirates, and who doesn't love visiting Dubai?
