Get CO flights when searching DELTA???

[Voice Of Reason]

I was just randomly searching some fights in August on both the Delta website and Orbitz. Noticed a couple things:

Destinations searched that were listed as Delta destinations had MANY Continental fights listed on BOTH sites

Results on Orbitz for the same routes, both one stop, showed NW (Pinnacle) for $460 and Delta ("operated by Continental Airlines") $1,632

I understand code shares and all...but have never seen it show up SO often on a search, especially when Delta and/or NW serves those destinations, and it is showing mainly/all Continental flights in those Delta website searches.

I AM searching out of Cleveland, but you would think that if anything after the first leg it would go back to DL/NW?

Hi!

Code share. You'll also find DAL/NWA/CAL/MWA (+ all the feeders) flights all intermixed.

Thanks...I wonder why Delta/NW wouldn't put THEIR own flights first? all I saw were pages and pages of CO fights on the DL site...
