DL: Insane Fare Match!!!!
This morning WN announced a $30 OW companion fare on their flights. This afternoon DL 'matched' by offering $60RTs (without the companion) in most WN markets. Routes like ISP-LAX/OAK/MCO, etc are $60 RT! They are charging a fuel surcharge on these fares (well, they have to make a little money) so you can expect to pay about $125RT with the taxes and PFCs. $125 Rt coast to coast sounds kinda hard to beat if you ask me. Get them before they're gone. There's another fare load at about 2pm est...I wouldn't be surprised if they're gone by then. Good luck.

Tried to pull up these fares, both on the Delta website and Travelocity (also using Dream Map), but no luck with either isp-mco or isp-lax. Any hints on where you saw this info or how to get these fares? Thanks.

They are loaded into Worldspan now. Therefore I think ITN should have them. In addition to ISP-MCO they are also offering the fare out of JFK. Although, in order to secure the JFK fare it appears you need to route via ATL.
The fares are any day of thw week with a one day minimum and a 30 day max. Its a 7 day advance purchase with all travel completed by 10/26. The fare code is L7M1A53.

Delta pulled these fares off of Worldspan at 2pm EST. If they are still available on Travelocity, get them now...they'll be gone at the next fare load. Good luck.

They work on Travelocity but not on Delta's own site. Fares are $100 rt and with taxes, etc. come out to $126. Also work isp-san.
Couple these with the DL Medallion double bonus for flights before July 15 if you are eligible.

Just to clarify DL matched (and improved on )a Southwest fare so the fare should be available on any DL markets where they compete with Southwest. So it's not just ISP, it's all across the country.
Again, DL pulled these fares out of Worldspan (their primary system) so I'd expect tehm to disappear from Travelocity before too long.

I can't find any on ITN.net. One route showed Delta as having no available seats...maybe the consolidators got a bunch of them while they were still hot.
