are you saying you think the probability that AS actually keeps it on the schedule is less than 10%? my statement was about what my own decision might be

Airlines seem to be betting pretty big that there will be significant demand for domestic travel this summer as most international travel is looking to continue to have heavy restrictions this summer. I would have discounted this route from actually starting several weeks ago, but now I wouldn't be quite so sure. AS schedule looks to be mostly set through April 3rd at this point as there are flights (as well as frequency bumps) showing for April 4th that I suspect will not actually start then (like PDX-MSP). So one shouldn't be too confident about flights showing in May schedule at this point. DL has CVG-SEA restarting on April 12th, but their schedule update last weekend only went through April 11th. So I'm not very confident DL will actually restart the route on that date and suspect it will be pushed back to May (if they restart it at all).

Just pointing out for other SEA/CVG watchers that the current BOOKING4LOVE 30% off code is good for flights through May 26, whereas previous sales covered no further than May 17.
SEA/CVG is still slated to start May 20. Happy to say I'm now booked on the inaugural May 20 SEA>CVG flight and returning under this promo on May 26. (And I'm coincidentally posting this from Cincy, which I otherwise have to fly into IND for.) |

Unless you know something I don't, I would bet on it starting.
Well, it looks like the schedule has now been pushed out to May 19th overnight after I posted this. PDX-MSP still has April 4th start date, so I think I guessed wrong about that (thought it would get pushed back). However, I wouldn't assume May 20th start for SEA-CVG is safe yet until the rest of May gets updated. |

Huh, May 20th. There goes using AS to get to the derby relatively easy from SEA (assuming derby goes off this year). Currently have SEA to ORD then connection via AA to SDF. Either way have to connect to get to derby, but was hoping to support a viable CVG route

Highly doubtful there will be a crowded Kentucky Derby this year given the pace of vaccinations nationally and no national strategy yet for proving vaccination credentials. Sadly, I think the summer of 2021 will look quite a bit like the summer of 2020 when it comes to big events. I do think it will be more logical and acceptable to start doing some traveling again and visiting family and friends in small groups...but if you're expecting shoulder to shoulder MLB stadiums, horse tracks, and concert venues you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you really want to avoid a connection, it's a bit of a drive at just under 3 hours but you can fly into BNA and drive up to the Derby. I did that a few years ago, have used BNA as a starting points for several roadtrips into Bourbon country & the region. If you like road trips that is, it's a nice drive.

It felt weird to make a reservation, but I'm now on the inaugural SEA-CVG flight! Will be fully vaxxed + 2 weeks, and I get to see family and friends for the first time in a long time. Hoping this route sticks around; nobody wants a Delta red-eye.
