irrelevant to the “value of Pay-With-Miles” discussion, but it’s amusing that the screenshot for cash fares doesn’t have a red “First” column, but tops out with a purple “Delta One” column for this DTW-LAX flight (and also that nominal 1cpm rate for the base fare should have yielded an award price of ~75k miles before the 15% AmEx discount rather than 97.5k)
