With all the CodeShare flights Delta has, you would think we would have more than two arrivals into Hamilton Bermuda Intl. (TXKF)... BOS & ATL. This can't be right!? Right?

All the best!

Well, first things first. The name of the airport is L.F. Wade international. Secondly, the list of airlines serving this airport:

Air Canada
American
Jet Blue
British Airways
Continental
Delta
Miami Air
United
USA3000
US Airways
WestJet

Hope this helps...

And I don't believe any of those airlines are codeshares...

None of those airlines codeshare, since Continental left Skyteam, so their routes would be unavailable to you. Also, the schedule changes by the day so the number of flights to Bermuda will fluctuate (not every flight is flown every day of the week).

Where did you guys get the idea I was referring to real world?

Let me try saying this over again...

With all the code shares Delta VA has, such as..

Air France
AeroMexico
Alaska Airlines
Royal Air Maroc
Avianca
Alitalia
Air Jamaica
KLM Royal Dutch
Czech Air Lines
Qantas

you would think we would have more than two departure airports for Hamilton, Bermuda (TXKF)... BOS & ATL.

[NOTE: Go to 'Pilot Center', left-click on 'Find A Flight', clear out the 'Airline' box, then select Hamilton, Bermuda (TXKF) from either the Depart From or Arrive At windows... it is not listed as L.F. Wade International, nor as Wade, L.F. International. How it is listed is as Hamilton, Bermuda.. right underneath Hamburg, Germany.]

Are we on the same freq now?

Unfortunately Bermuda is not a hot destination. There was an LGA-BDA but it is a seasonal flight. I think BOS-BDA is a DVH flight if I am not mistaken.

Gary, we know this isn't RW, but DVA uses the RW schedules. Hence, no rw codeshares, and only 2 Delta flights, are going to Bermuda today. Tomorrow it may be different, there may be 3,4,5 or none, it changes every day based on the rw schedule. There's nothing amiss, it is simply the schedule for today, though I wouldn't expect to find many more routes going to TXKF anyway.

Correction it is a regular flight, but who knows for how long.

Thanks guys!

Having been to Bermuda, I was fairly sure that there were more nationalities there than just Americans from Boston and Atlanta. But yall are right.. DVA emulates the real world schedule, so perhaps I am seeing a reflection of what the economy has done to travel to/from Bermuda these days.

Thanks again!
