sidejack: the last time I was at STL I was amazed at how crap it was Archived Message Posted by illinibone on April 17, 2025, 13:01:39, in reply to "that's really my main point. being in STL, delta doesn't make much sense. " Could be that I was in the terminal that Delta uses (which also Spirit uses), but wow, it's gone way downhill. I think the last time I was there before that was when TWA was still operating, so take it with a grain of salt. Previous Message they only have 5 routes out of STL.
