Now that Delta is bringing back more service, does anyone know if this route will revert to full D1 again? Or will they pretend it's the caterers not being open as such a terrible excuse still?

The Z fare is hard to find. I fares are more plentiful with this type of routing, and only raise the price ~$30-$40 on the one way.

Nice find!

Does this language still exist anywhere? The poster did not even say where exactly they found it, besides Delta's website. Thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Thank you! I have not personally had issues with this, but I found this in an old thread (from 2001) about Delta's "RPU":

Wayback Machine archive of that page (latest available): https://web.archive.org/web/20050723..._reg/index.jsp
The page at that specific URL is removed sometime after July 25, 2005 as subsequent crawls in August 2005 shows Delta's 'page not found' from back then.
