DL $151 SFO->MCO
Was able to find this on delta.com, and orbitz.com, with slightly more expensive variants on travelocity and expedia.
Was able to find this fare for the October, November, and December dates I checked (even during the holiday periods)
Doesn't appear to have a Saturday night stay requirement.

I kept trying to book single connections but kept getting unable to complete or something like that as an error. I finally made it work connecting in atl/cvg in both directions. I am sure that the difference is in the PFC's etc.
Were you able to actually able to get it to the point of entering credit card info.. I wasn't able to till my last attempt. I was about to give up on it!

I called and made my reservation with SMS so I could use a voucher. No 1000 mile booking bonus or discount, but it's a great fare regardless.

Well, I had some problems getting it to book for the Thanksgiving holiday; I eventually gave up on delta.com and went to orbitz, and was able to successfully book there, instead. (Actually, I was trying to be clever and book for my companion and myself separately; I booked her flight no problem on delta.com, but then it wouldn't let me get to the credit card screen for mine...) The fare is also on itn.net as well at the moment.
I did get single connections... I'm connecting in ATL on the way out, and in SLC on the way back. (L on the way out, K on the return, $152 r/t)

Just out of curiosity -- for a non-elite (I've always been a United man), is there any benefit to a K or Q fare above a LUser fare?
(since I'm not going to be upgrading anyway...)

WooHoo! Thanks for helping me get about US$60 in fare downgrades!

If you're not going to upgrade yourself, then there's no difference. You'd need an M/B/Y fare to upgrade with miles. If someone else, say a Medallion companion wanted to upgrade you with a NAMU, you'd need a K or higher fare. However, if you're doomed to steerage, then there's no difference between L and K.
