Re: PHL BA-AA Fleet Swap

Sooo...did I miss the DL PHL-LHR being cancelled? Or was that just seasonal for summer? I thought there was too much capacity on this market. I checked a few dates in Oct. 2016 and they still show a DL 757 n/s from LHR-PHL. If i remember correctly, Delta must maintain this flight for 2 years from i...

Re: BA to announce new US destination by the end of this Summer?

Head For Points reports that BA is to cut one of its two daily flights to PHL from next summer (second news item in link) which would free up an aircraft and suitable slot: http://www.headforpoints.com/2016/09/27 ... -new-york/ Doesn't free up a slot assuming AA is simply taking it. They slot pool....

Re: OAG Changes 9/30/2016: AA/DL/NK/UA

AA PHL-LHR loaded as 2x 333. Not all that surprising. Adding an AA flight in the 5 hours between the two BA LHR-PHL flights. Might also be AA taking a frequency from BA, have to watch as BA loads S17. Anyone know BA's timeline for loading S17 schedule? BA has been 2X year round for ages and with ot...

Re: AA new routes and cancellations announced

The sky is not falling in PHL. Even with the reductions, PHL will still see service to: LHR (year round) MAN (year round) CDG (year round) MAD (year round) AMS (year round) MUC (year round) DUB (year round) FCO (year round) LIS (seasonal) ATH (seasonal) BCN (seasonal) FRA (seasonal) GLA (seasonal) ...

Re: Is AA Downsizing PHL?

Its not exact data but per the question, a slight reduction of flights is being offset (at least partially) but upgauged aircrafts. Looking at activity reports by PHL, with relatively flat passenger numbers, the airport has continued to see shifts from "commuter" passengers to "schedu...

Re: Predictions 15 Years On

Interesting to see their opinions fifteen years later. It just goes to show the unpredictability of the aviation industry. For my home airport, PHL, I could reasonably see some of the following changes: -One nonstop to Asia (maybe JAL, or AA to NRT) -Norwegian and maybe one or two other discount lo...

Yes, please OSL-ORD!
I have no data to back this up. I just desperately want this so I can stop taking extra connections.

Re: F9 PHL-AUS discontinued?

A shame. Seeing F9 maintain some non-Florida routes year round gave me more hope that maybe we could see some further build up of PHL soon but now we are down to just DEN, CLT, and MSY. So just sun routes, their sizeable DEN operation, and CLT which is a huge market with just AA. AUS would have been...

The Saturday only flight to Varadero is direct. All other destinations are PHL-MIA-Cuba slots.
Same story for ORD.

Re: Emirates possible future U.S. destinations?

I've heard that Philadelphia has been announced as a new destination by Emirates (no exact date) I'm pretty sure the only talk about PHL is the standard "EK has been in talks with the airport." Something that a number of airports in the US can claim. You are probably correct that there is...

Re: Frontier to reduce PHL in October?

I don't think the ATL or PHL moves mean too much and are right in line with everything F9 has done for several years. Having said that, the lack of a consistent schedule and the unwillingness to operate this stuff deep into Fall tells me 1) the routes range from OK to poor and there are no rock sta...

Re: Frontier to reduce PHL in October?

Looks like your right re PHL-MCO, the 4th flight is one stop via CLT.
But nevertheless, as you point out many (north-south) flights are upgauged already in the W schedule.
