Delta has now Cancelled #221040 03/16/2020 05:59 AM Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 18,078 Likes: 17 Ohio ruralcarrier OP Traveler OP ruralcarrier Traveler Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 18,078 Likes: 17 Ohio I received an email at 2:15 this morning, Delta has cancelled the Friday flight. I have not checked further yet but I am guessing any flight they had after Monday (possibly Tuesday) is now cancelled. Friends were on the Wednesday flight and I was on the Friday flight. After being told by the ground agents (not Delta employees) in SXM and also a Delta supervisor in DAY yesterday these flights would go as scheduled, it does not look like it is going to happen. J.D.

Hoping you all find your way home healthy and safe!

People were ragging on AA for cancelling but it gave some of them a chance to make changes sooner. I know these are trying times but NO ONE airline is any better than the other and it is proven once again. J.D.

Friends talked to some of them at the airport and one mentioned they were not cancelling their vacation. This may not have been a wise choice. J.D.

We are scheduled to fly out the 26th on United and we haven't heard anything from them. The only thing they have posted is to wait until 72 hours before your flight to contact them as they are handling other passengers flights before our date. We are planning an extended stay. Thank goodness for retirement!

When I looked last night, there were flights available on the 24th, but this morning it was the 28th and now apparently the 31st. Also through SJU on Seaborn, That flight does not allow seat selection so I could not see how much was available.

AA and Delta have taken those planes completely out of service for that stretch of time Last edited by boucharda; 03/16/2020 08:18 AM.

He also gave her other information that was inaccurate. I booked United for Wed. IF it flies in here. My wife was at the (ticket) counter in DAY and they would NOT book the flight for me. Told her it had to be done on the 800# or online. I did it online but not 100% at all confident it will happen. J.D.

That really sucks, the airlines don't know what they are doing. SXM government is at fault also for not giving more notice. Carol Hill

And now Delta has just sent a second email saying they've booked me on the Wednesday flight through Atlanta (I was on the Wednesday flight through JFK). So it looks to me like they're combining flights to fill them up and accommodate all their passengers. I'm happy with the result, although I had several hours of renewed angst. Much much better than AA who cancelled my Friday flight with no help and no options. Good on Delta.

I was also just now able to pull up flights for Thursday. Not really sure what the real situation is but from my PERSONAL perspective, IF you are on Delta and have been cancelled, continue to check their website as it seems to come and go as to what is available and when. NO guarantees but I have had flights pop up on 3 days this week that were supposedly not available. It changes rapidly. J.D.

Wed. is a day past the deadline here for US residents to enter SXM. Only locals or visitors to other islands should be on inbound flights. There should be a LOT of empty seats on any inbound flight after Tuesday. J.D.

Perhaps they reinstated the flight. The entire process and information related to it is very strange. I still think the system is not updating properly and accurately. Friday is what I was originally on and got the cancellation notice very early this morning. J.D.

I would assume (duh) that the ATL departure is (could be) returning non-US citizens back to the Islands and this IS allowed. The return is also allowed by SXM so maybe.......
