I had a trip booked to take DL1899 (departs BOS at 7:30 pm on May 5th and had noticed it was "on hold" in my itinerary. I bugged Delta Special Member services today for an answer as to what this means and they have confirmed with operations that this flight will be cancelled on or about May 1st and that is why my itinerary has the notation. They have not figured out how to map the very few people on this flight to new flights. This flight will eventually move to a smaller plane (MD88 versus 757) and be available in the schedule again. Right now that won't occur until June 8th, so according to Delta operations, all flights from May 1 to June 7th will most likely be cancelled as the 757 will be taken off the route and used for other longer haul flights. The alternative booking they offered me is a 6:40 pm to ATL with an MCO connection getting into MCO just after midnight.
