Adjustments to route schedules continue to adversely impact small cities in the United States. Delta is building success out recent cuts, deleting five cities from its route network.
The airline is canceling flights to Providence, Rhode Island, and three Ny cities: Albany, Rochester, and Syracuse, all from the Minneapolis-St. Paul hub.
Providence will be the first route to be canceled on September 5, accompanied by Albany and Rochester on September 6 and Syracuse on September 12.
Although the flight cuts will significantly impact service to New york and Colonial, Fuel prices isn't pulling out of the four Northeast cities entirely.
All of these destinations will be with the carrier’s New York hubs, as well as flights from Atlanta and Detroit.
“We still monitor and adjust our flight schedules and route network based on customer demand,” a spokesperson said inside a statement to The Points Guy.
But not every is about route cuts, the carrier can also be introducing new routes to Might, Missouri, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from its New York-JFK base.
Beginning June 6, the airline will begin daily flights on these routes, operated by its regional subsidiary Endeavor Air.
In another report, Delta just announced that it's now blocking some rows of seats that can simply be picked by families or groups of a lot more than three passengers.
Delta claims to use an algorithm to figure out the number of rows of seats to reserve on a given aircraft. On flights with a lot of families, for instance, more rows of seats are reserved than you are on flights with many different business travelers.
If the problem changes – even on the particular flight- Delta can adjust the amount of seats readily available for groups.
“Being a customer-centric brand means we’re constantly working to offer optimal experiences across travel.” said the airline.
“Taking a dynamic approach with this seat map displays is one way to do that by giving preferred seating choices in most cabins–during the time of booking or at the gate when working with an agent–for customers traveling on your own or having a group.”
