This sucks that Delta would drop this so quickly. Of course, we are flying to Cape Town in September and was hoping to avoid one of the worse airports in the world. World Cup 2010 travelers beware of your safety there.
Considering the massive growth Cape Town is experiencing Delta's decision is foolish, without a doubt someone is going to turn a profit from this route and Delta won't be given a second chance to share.
