While at work today, I made travel arrangements for an upcoming business trip. I booked my flights with Delta. I cannot seem to find the flights here. Part of the problem, I think, is that the first two legs are actually operated by Northwest even though they have Delta flight numbers.

Here are my flight legs: ORF-DTW, DTW-GRB, GRB-CVG, CVG-ORF.

I was hoping to be able to fly my trip virtually prior to the real thing. Any help would be most appreciated.

Use the 'Browse Schedule' funtion to find your flights. Either they ARE in DVA's schedule or they ARE NOT. Nothing else you can do beyond that.

I took a look and I didn't see the first one. I do believe there has been some trouble with codeshares showing up in the database. Not 100% sure on that one though.

I have tried using both "Browse Schedule" and "Find a Flight". Can I still submit these flights on pireps since they are on Delta's schedule?

I just did a schedule update, and I know the CVG-ORF flights are there now. Take a peek again.

Cheers!

Thanks Luke. However, I still don't see the codeshares for ORF-DTW, and DTW-GRB. Would it be possible to add a link to Delta's real world schedule to compliment what we have here at DVA? I think that would help avoid any confusion over which flights someone may pirep.

Real world delta has a Flight Schedule application you can download on to your desktop. I use it whenever I cannot find a leg on DVA. All my flights have been approved so far. Check it out
