I meant timing wise does it make sense to arrive at 5:20 AM and stay for 5 hours?

I guess the way back makes more sense as I would arrive 9 AM and leave 1:30

Sorry bud, IINM you're paying 10% of published for those  :(

One of the very important things to do when booking a flight with an infant (especially in premium cabin) is to take into account individual airlines infant policy.

When I try searching on ke it doesn't find the Delta flight, so it transfers me to the sky team search engine, but I can't figure out how to book.

That looks very good. Id think its also 30k AA with a stop in LIM but 27.5 Id think is the winner.
