Do you remember what economy pricing was like? I'm really interested in this fare now and will keep an eye out in the future!
Yes you could. It would be DL flight numbers on both segments. Im not sure about Y pricing as I fly J on this route.

I tried searching for this flight from DL's website for late November, but I don't see it for departure from the PNW. I thought I could connect in ATL to fly to ICN and onwards.

I finally figured out the flight numbers. DL26 is ICN-ATL. DL27 is ATL-ICN. Something is wrong as I can't find DL26 on Google Flights in November 2022. Most people won't be interested in doing this, but I wouldn't mind flying from SEA-ATL-ICN-BKK if pricing is competitive.

Has anyone from Florida done Singapore's VTL? (Florida doesn't have vaccine QR codes and AFAIK they are banned.)
If yes, how did you do it without a vax QR code? (I was vax'd at a hospital and boosted at my primary care doc - both in Florida.)
Please - no political commentary. It is what it is.
Thanks for any advice.

For Americans applying for VTL, it appears that you can now verify your CDC vax card thru "TrackMy" (https://www.travelsingapore.us). This appears to be a Singaporean company that validates your vax by querying the database for your US state. In my case, I was able to validate all three doses in the Texas database despite the fact that obtaining proof myself with that authority would require a paper application and lengthy turn-around time. Doses were instantly verified, more or less (a few min tops). The service generates a QR code that is accepted by the VTL website. All in all, the process was smooth and a good use of US$25. I had tried to get my CDC card verified with a doctor's note as expressly permitted by VTL, but this was ignored by the VTL authorities. While the rumor is that VTL goes away on April 1, hopefully this can help someone.

You might get a QR code from one of your vax authorities - I got one from the booster pharmacy.
The above service was able to validate the first two shots directly with the Texas vax database immediately.
They had to manually validate the third (probably because the pharmacy used the wrong name :/ ) - but accepted the QR code generated by the pharmacy's website (CVS).
I tried submitting the doctors note and it was ignored by SG VTL website. So this was a good use of $25 in the circumstnaces.
