Service KOA-LAX 5-30-20
Hi folks, new to the Delta experience so please forgive the newbie question. It looks like DL is running a NS KOA-LAX on 5-30-20. I really would love that flight rather than connect thru HNL. Is this a new flight? I can't seem to find any history on it. Where might I find that? And the 64K question; what are the chances this flight actually operates vs. gets canceled? Thanks in advance!

You can find history here -- https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL1298/history/80
You can create a free account and get 3 months of flight history per flight. It's not a new flight. It was operating as daily up until Apr 1 and then the schedule was reduced to 4x weekly. It has been operating as scheduled since that time with no cancellations, so I would expect that to continue. The May schedule is fixed at this point (and June is probably mostly done).

Again, thanks for the assistance. One follow up. According to Seat Guru, DL is using a 757-200(75S) for the KOA-LAX non-stop on May 30, 2020. I know Seat Guru is very unreliable. The seat on the DL seat is a standard recliner in FC, on SG it shows as a lie flat; so quite a difference. Any way to tell which is true? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick answer! Chalk up yet another one up in the "Seat Guru is wrong" category.

Don’t forget about the 14 day quarantine that’s actively being enforced.

My quick answer to the FC recliner versus flat beds is to look at how many premium cabin seats there are on your 757 seat map. Something like 14-16 means flat beds (four rows max) while 20 or more (at least five rows) means regular domestic FC seats.

the existence of the C+ mini-cabin ahead of the 2L door is another giveaway for the standard domestic 757

Thanks to you and jrl767 for the insight. Bottom line is a recliner in FC with a guaranteed seat next to it, beats the heck out of connecting in HNL onto a full 28 seat FC cabin (despite lie flat) on UA.......especially when you factor in leaving KOA an hour earlier and land 5 hours later on UA. Thanks again.
