Flight details

The flight details have been posted for quite some time, but many people have requested them again so here they are:

DL1801V 16FEB M BOSATL  1100A  150P

DL 369V 16FEB M ATLMGA   545P  841P

DL 370V 24FEB T MGAATL   845A  128P          

DL1900Y 24FEB T ATLBOS    545P  825P

To translate this a bit:

February 16 leaving from Boston on Delta flight 1801.  Flight leaves at 11:00 a.m., arrives in Atlanta, Georgia at 1:50 p.m.

February 16 Delta flight 369 leaves Atlanta, Georgia at 5:45 p.m. and arrives in Managua, Nicaragua at 8:41 p.m.

February 24 leaving from Managua on Delta flight 370.  Flight leaves at 8:45 a.m. and arrives in Atlanta, Georgia at 1:28 p.m.

February 24  Delta flight 1900 leaves Atlanta at 5:45 p.m. and arrives in Boston at 8:25 p.m.  

Hope this clears up any confusion!
