Delta Single-Day Mileage Run: San Francisco (SFO) to Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) — 5740 MQM at 5 CPM in Main Cabin

Bay Area folks who can escape for a weekday may like this quick turn mileage run to Dallas.

Unfortunately, the trip doesn’t permit a Hard Eight BBQ field trip (as our LAX to DFW run does). But the $288.40 cost isn’t bad. And it doesn’t involve any overnight flights.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Dates: December 10
• Route: SFO-ATL-DFW-ATL-SFO
• Cost: $288.40 in Main Cabin
• MQM: 5740 (5 CPM)
• MQD: $231

Lounge Time?

There’s not very much time to kick back in lounges during this run. But depending on departure and arrival gates — especially in Atlanta — those with Sky Club access can probably squeeze in a few minutes for a quick bite and libation:
