Jet Blue is selling extra leg room for 10.00 and I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg. Seems we are caught in the middle and no where to turn.
    Good point. I see this fuel issue only getting worse and cheap fairs may be thing of past.

    Re: What's the deal with DELTA??

    I have read a little on this whole subject, and it sounds like many airlines are cancelling a lot of their less popular flights to cut costs. They are also rumored to wait to see if flights fill totally up, and if they don't and the flight can't be profitable, they will just cancel it.

    Like Biggun said, they are charging for extra bags too. They are also adding $25-$50 per ticket for the fuel costs. I was watching NBC Nightly News last night and they were breaking down the ticket prices...Fuel was 30% of the ticket price and rising!!

    Re: What's the deal with DELTA??

    I was also surfing the net looking for deals for any airline flying out of either detroit or toronto. The best deal i could find for the week of april 13th to the 20th was with Delta. Price was $419 with a stop in atlanta.

    I dont think ill do any better but thought id ask all you guys and see if anyone flys regularly out of toronto or out of detroit before i officially book this. I got a few stites for toronto that i can get a bit less but, its all hit and miss as u usually have to book them a few days before departure to get that cheap rate. Any info appreciated, thanks

    Ps, anyone planning on being in the sosua or PP area on those weeks?

I have been looking the past few days and it doesn't seem like there are very many flights any more scheduled to POP out further this year...

    I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I am guessing this may have something to do with the possible merger with Northwest. I can't figure out where all of those flights went, were they just cancelled?? Is Delta flying into POP anymore??

    Just curious if anyone knows...
    I am guessing that the flight i was looking at for the week of april13th to 20th would also be available for you. Funny thing was, it is $419(includes taxes) for me for that week but, if i left a day before or after, the price is over a grand, weird

    I just did a search on flights from minniapolis to pOp and it is even cheaper, only $350(taxes included) EVEN WEIRDER

    Thanks for the information. I wish I could get down there then, but not possible.

    I really enjoyed my experience on Delta and will use them again for my New Year's Trip, however, their schedules and pricing baffles me a bit.

    Delta??

    I got a $240 credit on Delta (non-transferable) that I have to use by (complete travel) 10-24-08 or I lose it. (a flight I had to cancle last year)
    And the Delta flights I've been looking at from my area, NYC, (ewr preferably) SUCK!!

    The only DR flights I see are going to SDQ, but big $$ with layovers. Which I hate because continetal has me spoiled.

    I saw some good prices for a Miami flight (weekend South Beach?) last night, but today thier all up over $350.

    Any Ideas?? I'd hate to let this die and throw away the $$, but then again may have to?

    Sounds like your going to SDQ. Pay the extra $200 and spend the weekend. A bad weekend in SDQ can't be any worse than spending it in at home?

    It'd be a shame to waste the voucher. You can get R/T to FLL from EWR for $305 (extra $55). You could hang out there or catch a Spirit special to DR or whatever destination you choose that weekend if one pops up. There's a lot of fun stuff to do in FLL anyway if one doesn't. This is what's known as a Good problem.

    Well 1st of all my prefrence is POP, but thats out. And I'm already taking a trip end of this month. So its more of a trying to find something quick easy, and ok, cheap. I'm tracking a flight 10-17 > 10-20 for $419, that means $179 out of pocket, whick is a strong possibility. I'm gonna track it for a couple of days to see if it fluctuates.

    But now we're talking 7-8 hour travel times, vs the 3-4 hours I'm used too with continetal. And I don't have delta miles to upgrade to 1st class, wah, wah, wah, I Know, still better than blowing the voucher, & or staring at the boob tube all weekend!!

    I don't know if you've been to Costa Rica, but you may want to give San Jose a shot. Flights from EWR to SJO are running $366 r/t (including tax and fees) during the first few weeks of October. The layover and connection in ATL is not that bad...I made a CR trip in July, and experienced no problems with Delta.

    I might be wrong, but I thought all the Continental Airlines DR flights were codeshared with Delta. You might want to call Delta and ask (I know they can't do it online).

    DELTA has a 1 non-stop that leaves every Saturday to and fro Santiago.

    This doesn't start until 2009. I guess that doesn't help you.
