Delta flights no longer available on Kayak
Delta has been intermittently absent from the list of airlines on Kayak searches all day. I'll do a search for a trip from SLC and find that the reasonable fares or direct flights are missing entirely. A quick examination reveals that there are no DL flights on the list and the Delta does not show up in the list of airlines in the left hand column.
Sometimes DL flights do show up but the links for booking are all to Orbitz and Expedia but not delta.com. It's like the old days when delta.com didn't exist, or rather was a dental insurance company.
I wonder if this is fallout from website updates. Maybe DL wants to go WN and stop cooperating with the rest of the industry.
Confirmation: yup, missing again.

I'm pretty sure that kayak pulls from the ITA matrices. That would have nothing to do with the website updates unless they also overhauled their flight databases.
I've had various airlines fail to show up in ITA a few times due to strange parameters getting thrown in without my knowledge. It was probably just a glitch on the OP's end.

I've had nothing but problems with Kayak displaying prices for Delta flights only to find out the flight is not available or the fare has increased. So annoying. I blame Delta- not Kayak. I'm sure the fact that I reside outside of the USA has something to do with it too.
