Just spent several hours trying to get Mrs. SHIB on an earlier return flight from China.

They are already cancelling flights out of China prior to 2/6. Remaining flights are selling out.

No guarantees that other flights will not be cancelled, and they are not guaranteeing that they won't strand US citizens with Delta tickets in China for the next two months if they cancel additional flights.

Ended up having to replace an award ticket with purchased ticket, since only remaining options involved leaving China on a partner airline.

If you believing the cancellations prior to 2/6 are due to health and safety concerns, I'll send you a prospectus for a bridge purchase.

This has to be based upon a desire to minimize the cost of flying plans westward empty... at the risk of customer-be-damned.
