Questions people ask
Why isn't Delta on the main price table?
Delta does not fly nonstop to Tokyo from Chicago, Dallas, Houston or Denver. The grid below shows the Delta gateways you could reposition to.
Is Minneapolis really 130,000?
It sits just under Virgin's 6,000-mile edge, so it should be 130,000. If Virgin measures the route slightly longer, it would move up to 165,000, so check the price before transferring.
