Maritimers: did you see the Delta fare sale?

Here is the link, directly to the press release: Delta Air Lines Launches Fare Sale for Travel to Maine, Vermont and Canada

Who ever heard of a fare sale out of Fredricton or Halifax? Of course, I don't know of any New Brunswickers in their right minds who would care to fly to Columbus OH (only us$161), but the $197 round trip from Fredricton to Orlando sure looked good (apparently via Boston). These routes are mostly flown by Delta's puddle-jumper feeder airlines, but hey, if someone is gonna cut Maritimers a break for once in all History, well power to them. Apparently, tickets need to be purchased by June 8th for travel before July 31.

Here in Boston, I am spoiled having plenty of direct flights most places I'd want to go (even Fredricton and Presque Isle, apparently).

OK, I was playing with Delta's site with hypothetical flights and dates and not finding anything decent out of the Maritimes (now there's a surprise) like the fares the press release was quoting. However, using a flexible search on one of the big travel sites (I like Orbitz, but I think only Expedia works for Canadians, right?) got me some decent fares that ppl might actually use, so it looks like this is legit. Most of them have you take an ACA puddlejumper to Boston then take the lovely Song Airlines down to Florida (both are Delta affilliates anyway).
