What time Thursday? ExpertFlyer shows 8 nonstops from SDF/ATL on 3/14 - and nothing marked canx.

7th. It's showing first class for sale and after viewing the seats, the plane is empty. That's a good sign...waiting patiently for my "cheapie" $420 flight x 2.

BamaGirl

I didn't have any issues with this. And, I know DL IT was involved...but, truly, how could something like this have been allowed to happen?

DetroitDIS

The flights are listed now, but $150 more since the morning. For an empty flight??

There are 6 nonstops, but the cheap seats are only available at 3:45 PM or later.

Edited to add . . . All 6 are on those BEAUTIFUL former NW B753's!

DetroitDIS

Like I said, they were all the same price this morning... And yesterday, and day before that, and last week.

davetravels

Ahhhhh!!! See, that's your mistake! The PRICE hasn't changed - - just the availability (of a lower fare class)!

DL 1522. 10:15a-11:37p.

DetroitDIS

No, earlier none of these early flights were available at 3pm (they were at noon.) Then they were, but only for $600. Empty planes, 8 months out. Not terribly concerned at this point. Thanks for your help.

davetravels

Seems to be there for me:

https://www.delta.com/booking/flight...nTimePercent=9

Wait a minute . . . That's a realllllly loooong flight!! I think you could drive it faster!

SomeGuy

Oh, it's available for sale. But in my itins, it shows as cxcl.

davetravels

That doesn't make any sense. Did you call?

SomeGuy

Of course it doesn't. This is Delta.com

Yeah, I'm sitting on hold right now. I guess better to be on hold tonight as opposed to when I show up Thursday morning to the airport.

davetravels

Have you noticed if the new flight is either a different flight # or aircraft type?

SomeGuy

No changes. Delta can't even see it cancelled, even though I do in my itins. The best I could do was to get them to resend me a confirmation email.
