I am afraid so, and I am seriously not happy about them messing up my carefully planned itinerary. I spent days working out every detail and now it's completely messed up. *sigh*. At least they have us flying on the same days, but they've added a stop in SLC AND given us only TWO minutes between flights. This is just ridiculous!

I booked this through Orbitz and have always had a good experience with them, but I don't think this is Orbitz doing, it's Delta. They are cancelling and switching around flights. The entire airline industry seems to be in turmoil right now. Trying to save money on fuel costs is one of the big issues, I think. Flights that they think may not fully book are being cancelled with little concern about the inconvience to their customers.
