Huge decrease in Carribbean Coverage...
Just a vent, I guess...
Going to a friend's wedding in Anguilla in May 2011... and had just bought (using miles) my wife and my tickets to go SAN-ATL-SXM (and then take a ferry from St. Maarten to Anguilla).
Well, 2 days after I book the ticket, the flights TO and FROM St. Maarten are gone! Delta went from serving St. Maarten 6 or 7 days a week down to 1 day going there and 1 day coming back.
Isn't that a bit drastic for a reduction?!?! I mean, we are pretty much screwed now. At least we can get the entire trip cancelled and have the miles redeposited for free now. And then I guess we'll just rebook SAN-ATL and ATL-SAN, but having to pay to fly to the Carribbean is NOT what we look for from the "World's Largest Airline"... Plus, I think we'll have to fly USAIR (Yuck) to St. Maarten, because American Airlines got rid of their flights to St. Maarten on the same day!
