US Airways Dividend Miles - Has US Ceased Services To HVN (New Haven-Tweed)

I am looking to book a few flights in July departing from HVN and neither US Airways' site, nor Expedia, will let me book any flight from HVN to anywhere (including PHL) in July.

I called US and the agent told me there were no plans she knew of to eliminate HVN, but she saw no availability throughout July for any scheduled service from HVN.

Is this a glitch, or does my home airport no longer have any airlines (like the New York Times reported a few days ago).

I threw some random dates in July into Orbitz for flights from HVN to PHL and Orbitz came back with 61 possible flight choices on US...a couple shown below. There were also flights available on CO.

Thanks. It must have been a temporary system glitch.


.....you saw CO flights? HVN is only serviced by a few flights a day (changes depending on the day of the week) , all by US, all Dash-8, all to PHL. CO, as far as I know, never flew to HVN.

Looking at the results again, I see that the CO flights are out of ZVE (New Haven).

Apparently there are two airports in New Haven.?

THats new haven's train station .. just like 30th street in Phila (ZFV) you can book tickets from ZVE through EWR

From Wikipedia - "Because of Continental Airlines code sharing on select Amtrak trains between Union Station and its hub at Newark Liberty International Airport in the New York City area, Union Station is assigned the IATA airport code of ZVE."

BTW, I'm totally baffled by the NYT front page reference that US had ended service to New Haven. I emailed the newspaper's corrections department but as far as I know, they have not printed a correction. Just goes to show that you can't believe everything you read. Or can you?

You're right.!

I overlooked that on the Orbitz results. In fact, you need to take TWO Amtrak "flights" to get to CO's hub in EWR..!!
