Jump to postI'm not even sure how you got that correlation, but that's just plain stupid to even say. They stated the AUS bubble is already starting to burst. Pretty easy correlation to see.

Jump to postInteresting article on DL in Austin: https://thepointsguy.com/news/delta-air-lines-austin-expansion-texas/ Now, the expansion in Austin — in addition to serving the local market — aims to close that hole.

Jump to postAnyone find anything interesting in the extension? I didn't look too closely into STL yet. Just noticed SJD showed back up so it might be a winter route for us also.

Jump to postThe fares out of AUS to LHR or FRA are about $200 to $400 lower than Houston, making it attractive for those in West Houston for a couple or family of 3 to use AUS instead. So this means yields are much lower from AUS even for BA. Recently I had a family of 4 wanting to fly to FRA out of IAH in Jun...
Jump to postI'd argue that AMS and FRA are far better connection airports than LHR as well. Not that I disagree, but I'm very curious about this assertion, especially in regards to FRA.

Jump to postIs it just me or is international pretty soft from Austin at the moment? Or at least prices are more soft than they've been in probably 5+ years. Maybe the post-Covid travel boom has peaked and is declining? Or just the impacts of higher interest rates hitting the general economy? Or maybe the airl...
