Such a simple task...

I had a rental car to drive St. Louis to Chicago this weekend. Today, Delta fares dropped from $315 to $198, so I decided to fly!

Tried to book STL-ORD, 2/25 through 3/02/11 via ATL, because I prefer the MD88. Kayak has it for $203. Departs STL at 12:45p, flight 2777. Via Kayak, I click thru to Delta but cannot complete purchase.

So I spent 45 minutes on delta.com searching all options and cannot find these flights!!! All flights STL-ORD on delta.com only offer connections via CVG, DTW, MSP, MEM, etc. I tried searching by schedule, booking class, everything. I even tried multi-city searches and realized I simply cannot book this ticket.

I'm going back to my rental car and will enjoy the 5 hour drive.

Delta, your website cost you $203 today.
