Make sure that it's really a nonstop. I went with them a few years back . they called it a direct flight. But it made a stop in SFO for 2 hours . I had the option to stay on the plane or get off and come back before it departed. I think the referred to it  as a through flight.

Did you really think it was a nonstop flight then? It wouldn't take 8.5 hours to go from JFK to PSP.

Even $171/night is good in PSP in the winter.

no mention of 12,600 mileage redemption though... I think that would be pretty good value
