Delta has done the same. Look for all to follow.

Interesting. I just called Delta and asked if it was still 30,000 miles round trip to Hawaii and the agent said yes. Maybe only special categories changed?

Sam Oct 3rd, 2001 05:47 PM

Perhaps so. USAirways doesn't fly to Hawaii so maybe Delta decided not to "discount" that route.
