Since this thread is now on the front page I thought I’d chime in even though I don’t really fly Delta.

I won’t mind if DL adds SNA-PHL non-stop.

Would love a DAL-SLC flight to compliment DFW... Would also love less MD-88s on DFW-ATL. DFW-SEA and DFW-SFO would be nice too.

RST-DTW They have tried but it never sticks.

MSP-ICN I know, it has been announced. But for sometime in 2019. We need a fixed start date! Too many routes are announced like that and never get started.

I could be wrong but I don't think DL ever operated VPS-CVG, even in CVG's peak hub days, and if DL didn't even operate this route in the peak-hub time of CVG, I don't see it being operated now when CVG is a shell of its former glory, regardless of Allegiant's seasonal service. DL did operate VPS-MEM after merging with NW, but I think VPS-MEM was the only route NW ran as well (I don't think NW did VPS-DTW or VPS-MSP, but someone can feel free to correct me if that is wrong).

When AA had the hub at BNA, I remember flying VPS-BNA a couple times (on Saab 340s) as a young kid.

Daily service with at least one other hub to/from RNO. I end up flying to a lot of mid size and smaller airports in the mid-west and east coast, so a lot of my flights end up being RNO-SLC-ATL/MSP/DTW-XXX. I would love to be able to cut out the SLC stop more often. UA and AA both offer multiple daily flights to multiple hubs, AS serves SEA and PDX, and WN to a least 5 different airports daily.

CVG-VPS was operated by Comair, but was cut in the fall of 2006.

Oh wow. Never knew this. I was only aware of VPS-ATL on DL (and then shortly after the merger, briefly VPS-MEM before that was cut).

Domestic:
SRQ-JFK 2x - one in AM can be to LGA but one in PM should be to JFK for intl conx
SRQ-MSP or SLC - at least in winter..MSP seems more likely but either provide more west coast options than ATL
BOS-DCA

JFK - BOM
JFK - NAP
MCO-AMS/CDG
