No fear of ZIKA if you do not leave the airport right ;-)! I am not a huge fan of red-eyes anymore but if you are a DTW hub captive this is a very nice run in first class at a price I would be willing to pay in coach that is sub 5CPM from a Delta hub.
You can tinker with dates on this one as well as connections as if you take the one with the longer layover in MCO you can visit THE CLUB at MCO and get a shower before your return or even look at an overnight if you do not want to red-eye.
I have also included the coach BASIC EVIL E fare that does earn FULL POINTS but for the price I would pass and buy in 1st class. I have also included in SEPTEMBER one date that works at a higher price but for a weekend run if you can not run on a weekday. BTW I would book fast if you want this as I doubt it will last long!
Here are the numbers I found (via SLC both ways):
Cost: $489 in 1st class
10,232 MQMs at 4.8 CPM
Weekday in 1st class <-LINK
Weekend in 1st class <-LINK
Weekday in EVIL BASIC E class (warning NO upgrades) <-LINK
EDIT: Works from MSP for a few bucks more! <-LINK
I have included the Google Flights or Kayak links and for those of you new to this, 1st log in to your Delta.com SkyMiles account and THEN you click the above links and it will, after you choose flights, send them over to Delta.com. Very simple! – René

Getting off a redeye and then right back on? No thanks lol.
@William – There is the choice to overnight. Then again, no one is forcing you to fly it! 😉
is this still active
Rene, I tried to book this via your Kayak link. Everything was going well until I clicked “complete purchase” on the Delta.com site. Delta.dumb then gave me a “price change” screen for $1370. I tried it couple times but no go. I called the Delta Gold line but was told the price was $1370. They couldn’t help me with what Kayak provided. Is this a HUCB moment, or am I out of luck? Thanks, Scott
@Scott – May be dead but let me tinker

I got this today… Thanks Rene…
How do you use the two links above as you suggested?
After I click on the RenesPoints link, how do I then click on the second link.
My apologies, I am new to this.
@Cindy – The second should plug in flights. You can then book or tweak dates
Tried to book it in 1st in Sept $640 pp
when I booked the Tickets in coach in September the MQMs turned out to be 3410X2 ……exact same itinerary Coach cost was $340 pp
Why arent ther 10k MqMs??
@Jerry – You must be in 1st for 10k+ MQMS. See other comments. You must use PriceLine link to book and THOSE dates may now be dead.
