What (nonstop) route do you wish Delta would really have?

YOW to literally anywhere east of the Mississippi. The WestJet connections to Toronto and Calgary are untennable from a schedule and price position (and often can't be booked via DL). The 2h drive over from YUL is great in the summer, but not worth it the rest of the year. CRJ is fine...just get me there.

BYU plays West Virginia University on Nov 4th. BYU fans travel well and PIT is the closest major airport to WVU so I have to believe these flights were added in primarily for BYU fans going to and from the game.

Does Delta do that sort of thing regularly? I've heard of it with Allegiant but not Delta.

With the SkyClub access changes, I really want DL to bring back DAY-MSP. MSP has one of my favorite Priority Pass lounge options: the PGA Lounge, where you can use your Priority Pass credit for playing on the golf simulators during your time at the lounge. Right now, a connection in MSP will still mean going to CVG or CMH which I'm becoming less inclined to do as I move towards free agency. DAY-MSP would be a welcome return so I can utilize the PGA Lounge more easily and get in 18 during my layover.

This 5 year old post must have tipped the scales in our favor. Delta is brining back MCO-DCA next month with twice daily service (along with MIA-DCA once daily). I have a few trips to/from MCO booked now. What do you think upgrade odds will be on this flight?

I live in Dayton but fly weekly out of CVG due to DAY being reduced to Atlanta 4x daily and LGA 1x. When they Dx'd MSP after covid and then DTW last year, it REALLY limited how frequently i could fly in and out of DAY. Addin back MSP and DTW would really open things up but I assume the demand just wasnt there. As a result, I am > 90% out of CVG, Love me some CVG and the skyclub, but it would be nice to have the local option.
