Travelers, beware!
Delta, playing Bankruptcy Roulette, has started to cancel random flights to offset losses from jet fuel costs. According to a Delta spokesmouth, most of the cancelled flights will be very early or late midweek departures. Be advised that your upcoming Delta flight may be cancelled with only a day's notice, due to high fuel costs. Other airlines, such as American, are eliminating certain flights to some destinations, particularly in smaller markets, but aren't cancelling randomly at such short notice.
How to protect yourself? Rethink your carrier if you haven't yet booked your upcoming air travel. Use a credit card when booking. And spend a few extra bucks to obtain travel insurance if it's an important vacation trip.
