Routing help needed
 

I am trying to go from ERI to either LBB or MAF. I've only done a couple of cursory looks but I can't find anything into either airport. I'm finding it hard to believe there are no connections from Salt Lake City. Does anybody have any suggestions on routing? From what I see so far I can take Delta as far as Dallas then have to switch to American. However I thought I would try the experts here as I would like to get the whole route on Delta if possible. Dates of travel our March 22-25.

It would be a shorter drive to either place from ABQ (5 hours) or ELP (6 hours). That is to Lubbuck. To Midland it is just over 4 hours fro Midland. My guess since you are open to either airport you need to go somewhere in the middle.

Getting to that part of the world (Amarillo, Lubbock, or Midland/Odessa) simply can't be done via Delta alone.

Delta served both AMA and LBB via MEM for a couple years (2010, 2011), but later discontinued the flights. Didn't work out.

I'm plat and live in LBB but will be gold very soon b'c I now (since May 2012) have to fly United to IAH or American (which I strongly discourage) to DFW to connect to Delta.

Delta's pulling out of this area was a huge blow. You simply can't get here on Delta anymore . . . .

I have been to both AMA and LBB via Delta. It hasn't come up since they have discontinued service out there but I think west Texas (and far south Texas MFE and BRO) are definitely the biggest holes in the otherwise terrific domestic route network. I do think they should address it somehow but I am not sure they are going to. Years ago, I also went to MAF but I don't think Delta ever had service there.
