Interestingly, it's not timed to feed the Asia hub, but to be mostly an O/D route. I'm guessing that DL has a corporate contract supporting the flight.
I expect CVG-SEA to go year-round next. Not sure why it isn't already, since that flight usually runs with 90%+ loads on a 752.

It times pretty well for Asia going West at least...
Oh, and it would not shock me to see AS respond by adding a redeye as a result (BWI maybe?)

I would imagine upgrades on this route would be easier than elsewhere.

This could be interesting since there's no Delta Sky Club at Dulles. If you have a Sky Club membership you have access to the Air France lounge, but this is still kind of a secret as I've never seen many Delta passengers in it. However, the early flight time means the Air France lounge is closed, which sucks. So, you'll need Priority Pass membership to have access to the Turkish lounge, which opens daily at 6 a.m.

Will be interesting to see what the response, if any, is from AS on the IND-SEA route. My info is that Delta has wanted to do this route for a while but AS beat them to it.

I do everything in my power to stay off of 737s. I would go down to LA or through Atlanta. I only fly 37s if there is nothing else that will get me there.

KC to Seattle is now a 3 carrier market - WN, AS and now DL. I believe they added another NS MCI-BOS, as well. WN needs some additional competition at MCI, for sure.
