This is something that a LOT of people have been wanting to see from Delta for a LONG time. Why has Cincinnati had these high fares for so long? Because Delta is the only dominant carrier that flies out of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

In fact, when I was planning my September trip to Florida in August, it was actually CHEAPER for me to drive to Dayton, catch a small flight from Dayton to Cincinnati and then fly down to Orlando than it was just to fly the Cincinnati Orlando flight. Even though the Dayton option utilized the same exact flight down to Orlando, it was cheaper! I ultimately ended up biting the bullet and going with the expensive direct flight out of Cincinnati to save time, and I didn`t want to have to drive up to Dayton and pay to park the car for five days.

^^Or cheaper to drive to Indy...

I know I will never fly Delta again for some certain reasons.

And in other, perhaps not unrelated news, Delta is conserving money by giving up gates at many airports across the country, as it consolidates with its Northwest acquisition. This particularly affects Dayton locally:

Delta sucks. I will not fly with them ever again either.
