Re: DL cuts MNL?

Welp...

I called Delta and they could not transfer me onto one of KE's two daily flights or even sell me seats on those...
Not sure when these two will decide to get along.

I must say as a passenger, the triangular route felt easier. The stop in KRT at Midnight on the return to Eu...
