Delta has NO flights for Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November, not even Thanksgiving. Is this the beginning of Delta withdrawing from St. Thomas, or just another oversight at their web site?? Time to contact Delta and COMPLAIN!

Many of the airlines servicing STT cut back the # of flights during the off season - sometimes too as much as only offering once a week service - Delta may have fewer flights during Aug-Sept-Oct and just not have run an 11 month lead time on changing the website OR really just keeping the # of flights down until later in the winter season.
I have heard nothing about Delta discontinuing their STT routes at all - even from family members who are Delta employees.

I sure hope not, I'd be in a world of hurt getting to STT without Delta!

I highly doubt it. Delta runs two daily flights to STT much of the year, and they are always full. My guess is that it's a little early to be looking at late November for next year. Airlines release flights, at the earliest, 331 days in advance. Are you sure you're not looking at flights more than 331 days in advance?

That sux. We took Delta in Nov/Dec 2011 and the flights were 100% full both directions. (Sunday each way). I hope they don't limit the flights because selfishly it is so nice to take the nonstops direct from ATL.
