Would be a good A319 or 752 route for the winter.

I haven't flown through CLT since 2011. Has it really gotten that bad?

LH operates the MUC route from CLT. You also forgot to mention the AA CDG route
Freshside3 wrote:No real local market at all for CLT-MXP. Only way it would work, is to have it as a thru, or change-of-gauge, SFO-CLT-MXP, due to no Italy service from SFO on any carrier. Similarly for CLT-LIS, due to the general lack of Portugal flights from the large California markets(SFO/LAX/SAN).
CLT-MAN may work.......AA/UA/DL have eliminated a bunch of flights to the UK. Apparently they're all afraid of the fallout from the Brexit, which is understandable. But between them, they cut too much service to the various UK airports.
For smaller markets, I agree with whoever said COU. But perhaps something from RFD might work, too. For Caribbean, BGI would probably be the best choice.

HVN if its runway is extended.
OKC or TUL

LIS was tried from CLT and it did not work, HEL, EDI and KEF would all see PHL service way before CLT. Note: EDI was started out of PHL before being moved to JFK.

Hoping to see ISP added by the summertime. 2x CRJ7, and if the service proves good then add another flight with an E175.

OKC is already operated twice daily (1x CR9, 1x319) as is Tulsa (1x CR9, 1x738)

Wow, mainline on those. Is that a new addition, I hadn't realized that they even operated there from CLT? I assume its only since the US/AA merger.
CLTflier wrote:freakyrat wrote:CLT-SBN on American Eagle
Could see that happening, along with FNT, TVC, MLI, RFD, and COU. Although these aren't the most exciting additions, they are needed to fill out the holes in the network

As a former MLIer myself I want to agree with you so much but i don't think 2x to CLT is necessary without considering a 3rd DFW first. The AA load factor at MLI just doesnt seem high enough to constitute 2x CLTevank516 wrote:usflyer msp wrote:AA should not add any more flights at CLT until it clears up its airfield congestion issues.

I feel like this is being exaggerated a bit, while there are specific times that CLT can be a bit of a mess, I can't ever think of a time that my taxi has been that long

TUL was added right after the merger, but it was just on regional jets. I'm surprised that it has mainline now. I guess they're trying to get more eastbound passengers from TUL to go through CLT rather than DFW.
