DL JFK-HNL nonstop in Dec/Jan
« on: February 19, 2015, 02:28:32 PM »
Delta is scheduled to run this route again, from December 18th until at least mid-January. Saver availability is pretty open in economy. In business, there were  7+ seats of availability on most flights until this AM, but it seems like that was fixed.

I only managed to get one leg. It came and went fairly quickly. I'd keep an eye out in case they didn't completely fix it.

Out of curiosity (and can't check now cuz I'm on my phone / away from computer) how many miles for RT?

Darn, Delta just cancelled the nonstop flight on my date (1/13). Is Korean at all accommodating for rebookings due to flight cancellations? Any chance theyll send my points back to chase?

No chance of points going back to Chase.

However, I had a flight on Delta booked with FB points that was cancelled. I was able to get Delta to rebook me on a different flight by calling Delta. I got them to book me on a flight where NO saver was available. Took a few HUCAs and some patience but got it done.

After they rebooked it they told me that I really should have called FB since that's how it was booked. I knew that if I went that route I had no chance of being booked on a flight with no saver available.

They cancelled the entire flight. I might have been the only one that had booked already Bc of how in advance it was and little time it was bookable.

They didn't rebook you automatically on another flight? That's what they did when they cancelled my flight.

How were you notified of the cancellation?

Points went back into your account?

I'll wait a few days to call until the day I actually want to return on becomes bookable. It's too far in advance at the moment and I booked a placeholder return Bc KA requires rt

So what are you upset about. Odds are this will work out in your favor

There's no NS option anymore. And the better connecting options (eg through la) delta rarely releases space for. I hope they are nice :)

No need for space to open up when they cancelled your flight.

Bingo

There's no NS option anymore.
I thought you didn't want to travel that date anyways? Or no more NS on the day you want?
