Help booking YLW to IND
Hello everyone,
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, please move if needed. I'm trying to book YLW to IND for 9/20. Best option from Google flights or ITA for the time frame needed is a flight on Alaska Airlines, with 2 connections on Delta. Would it better to book with Alaska Airlines or Delta? Also debating if it's better to do revenue or award ticket? I don't have status or miles with either airline, would transfer MR or Starwood points.
Thanks

Have 55k MR and 35k Starwood points. Also applying for the SPG business in a week. Only thing planned right now is a family trip to Europe next summer but using Avios for the flights and Hilton and Club Carlson points for the hotels.
I'm going one way on September 20th from one job to another and have to be there by a certain time, so unfortunately, don't have much flexibility. I'm in two separate music tours.
On Google flights it lists the ticket at $466 calling Delta and $505 calling Alaska Airlines. However, ITA and Delta's site are more expensive. Couldn't get award availability to show up on Delta's site, but it showed 12.5k and $62 on Alaska Airlines. Any other suggestions for looking for the best price or award availability?
