I'm happy to see that the route planners at Spirit finally unfolded their map and saw that there is a whole western portion of the United States that they've forgotten about for the last several years -- with the exception of Vegas of course. Not only are they re-connecting the west with major citie...
Jump to postThis was posted over on the San Diego-thread by santam yesterday: Talking about 777s, BA is also changing their schedule today. Starting today, BA 265/264 is added with a 777-200ER while the usual BA273/272 is temporarily being removed from the schedule. On April 20, BA 273/272 comes back with a 787...
Jump to postT7 is running pretty full start and end of week, also well on weekends. Only lower capacity is mid-week, so UA has to be pleased. According to UA sites on this board, it's not going away.

Jump to postI received an itinerary change on my UA BCN IAD SAN flight in June. Originally on 738 from IAD to SAN, now 772. Checking UA schedule, looks like the 772 service shifts times to a late afternoon departure versus morning to SAN, overnight RON, then leaves SAN 8:25 am for a late afternoon IAD arrival....
Jump to postPDX-SAN/BUR were also added starting 8/7, it appears. BUR is new, SAN a resumption of services after I don't know how many years.

Jump to postI see that in August NK is adding a flight to SAN -- a new route for the carrier. That makes the 4th carrier in the market, joining DL, AS & WN! Of course, the question with NK is always: how long will this one last? I can't really imagine this move by Spirit will evoke any reaction from any of ...

Jump to postIF it is a new airline route out of SAT, how about Spirit? (AFAIK, they still serve SAT, correct? To LAS?)
NK seems to be on a big growth spurt right now, so maybe they will announce another batch of new routes Monday, including some/something out of SAT.
Just a thought.

I was checking out flights from IAD-SAN and was surprised to see United has two flights within an hour of each other in the morning - a 772 and a 739 MAX.

I suppose we'll be getting Breaking News updates all weekend whenever an AS MAX lands, takes off, or cruises safely! With extensive interviews of pax and crew unlucky enough to be seen by anybody carrying a mic and hanging around an AS airport!
Please media, stand down!

Who is in 26A on today's SEA-SAN flight? Hope the media interviews them. I think AS is smarter than to let a random sit there. It will likely be an executive. Nah, if I were AS I would tell BOEING to provide the executive to sit there! I say it with humor but really Boeing should be the one steppin...
