Wrong.

This has blown up a carefully planned trip that used GUCs and on Virgin metal LHR-BOM. And in my chat tonight with the diamond line, they state almost everything out of SLC is sold out to places I can get across the pond from. They aren't wrong. On a Saturday in late September, LAX is sold out for 2 days, SEA for a day....so I'm stuck here. And they won't even send me back to Reno where I originated.

I'm trying to figure out what the point of my Diamond status is. This doesn't feel very premium.
Why have the flights been cancelled? Have they offered alternatives on other airlines? DL appears to have a seat on SLC-KLM-BOM in J on Sunday.
