DL segment run
I'm hoping for some advice from DL regulars (if there any left!) about adding some segments to my Flying Blue account while I'm in the US.
It seems finding decent segment runs on DL is harder than in the past. Booking two stop domestic inbounds/outbounds seems impossible on the DL website, leaving just one-stop, four-segment trips. ITA yields longer runs but at higher per-segment prices so it would still be more economical to book two four-segment trips anyway.
Best I can find using short hops is the likes of SAN-LAX-LAS rt for $160 or BWI-DTW-BOS rt also for $160. Some of the routings suggested in previous threads last year no longer seem to work since capacity was cut at CVG.
Any other good departure points for short hops where you can run up a good number of segments in a day? Fortunately, I don't mind Delta Connection/RJs etc...makes no difference to me as FBers don't get domestic upgrades.
Thanks
