Bring back PIT and BRL. I miss weird routes
Jump to postOkay.. it's working now... You can fly to about 20 locations from Mexico City... Or you can start at one of those 20 locations and fly to Mexico City. There is no point to point service. So, it doesn't serve the country of Mexico. It serves Mexico City. It’s all just a way for getting more traffic ...
Jump to postNot everything on the border is about mass illegal migration, contrary to what politicians in interior states may like to tell you. This is way more likely to be about cargo. If you ever visit San Diego, El Paso, Tijuana, Los Angeles, etc you will understand that the border does not play any role in...
Jump to postIf it is not TATL, let's please remain civil in the discussion. Really didn't like the criticism of hardworking airport leaders that occurred in some of the Midwest threads like MCI after the RDU/SAT FRA flights.
Jump to postDid this take a Yyz frequency? Still a win either way as 3x to 2x is not that big of a deal
Jump to postAnyone hear of a *A lounge? With all 3 carriers ramping up service or starting it in the case of LH, this seems like a no-brainer when the new terminal is built
Jump to postAgreed, but I would be more upset if they didn't get the routes they do.
Jump to postSTL gets YUL on AC... what gives with MCI getting passed over? Isn't YYZ axed currently? MCI’s largest unserved CA city in Vancouver with, iirc, about 100 PPDEW in Q3 2022. YYZ is served during the warmer months from KC. YUL is not in the top 5 international destinations from KC. KC wasn’t passed o...
Jump to postBA would be able to make STL work, at least seasonally and/or less than daily to start. STL is still a massive AAdvantage market (though admittedly far less so than it would otherwise be thanks to WN), something that would be capitalized on if it was ever launched. BA and EI could probably make STL...

How is SAT stealing anything? Maybe "stealing" isnt the right word but its frustrating to watch smaller cities attract flights with less resources. Every city that lands a long haul flight further reduces IND's chances. Case in point being CVG landing BA which greatly reduced the likeliho...
Jump to postAnother route update from NK: New and returning routes (staring in November): LGA-PBI, LGA-ORD, LGA-ATL, ATL-RSW and FLL-BDL Cancelled routes: DTW-PHX, DTW-SJU, IAH-XPL, LAS-STL, MCO-PHX, MKE-RSW and MSP-PHX.

Yup. I increased my carbon footprint just to spite this thread.
Solid add. Captures the Pitbull traffic (Miami to madridddd) sort of

And the vast majority of middle class and higher Americans dont care about Greyhound prices in the sky. I've yet...

Jump to postIt isn't, per se. I agree, people aren't going to travel from other countries to go to the ferris wheel in Kansas City. But people from the local region just might.

Jump to postAnd that I think is our answer. I think LH might be playing the old BA BWI card to try and attract more money out of the area like BA does out of the dc-Baltimore area.
Jump to postThis is how I understood it also. A crew sitting in a city for 3 nights doesn’t make sense Ground crew is contracted out. They work frontier and sun county also. To clarify, LH crew potentially rotating between STL and ORD was what I was trying to get at. Don't know if that's how it works though No...
Jump to postIt could also be that they found a way to make 3x weekly more efficient. (ie-have staff commute down from ORD and back 3x a week, wouldn't be hard at all). Are we talking about ground staff here? I would’ve assumed the inefficiencies were due to crew having to spend multiple nights in STL (3 nights...

Jump to postSeeing AUS and SAN get expanded and not STL is something of concern, however I do not see it that way. From the article, 11 universities and businesses, including UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, Elon, BASF and Wolfspeed, agreed to offer financial support. That is a HUGE thing for RDU. We don't know the term...

Jump to postIf one entity doesn't play ball, take your business across the street. Let's get EI or Norse flying the other 4 days of the week.

Jump to postThere’s a better chance of pigs flying TATL from SAT before an airline does. Ain’t happening with AUS right up the road. AUS has a couple of airlines whose numbers are awful and probably would look better at SAT. AUS is a bigger TATL, but outside the UK, it’s not that much better. I’ve asked before...

Jump to postI don't know that you spend much time at LAX thinking like this. Peak times can cause you to spend over an hour just in the loop. If you can take a people mover with a traffic-free right-of-way, you should - if you value your time. As someone who transits the loop daily, I can tell you that the shu...

From weho you would train to union and catch the flyaway bus which uses the j line bus lane. Probably 45-90 minutes in total.
