Don't count on CO for ever doing any flying that doesn't involve one of their hubs. I think that they remain the most strictly hub-and-spoke airline out of the Big Six. They only have about 6 or 7 flights that don't begin or end in IAH, EWR, CLE, and many of them are a continuation of a previous flight or a wrap flight, such as UIO-BOG and GRU-GIG.
A few that come to mind are:
LAX-HNL
MFE-MEX
SAT-MEX
SEA-ANC
UIO-BOG
GRU-GIG
GUM is another story, however, with many point-to-point flights out in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. The island hopper route comes to mind.

Continental is the most strict of the majors on the hub-and-spoke system, as Cory mentioned. Cory mentioned the only four point-to-point routes they operate: MFE-MEX, SAT-MEX, LAX-HNL, and SEA-ANC. This winter they will be adding a fifth, LAX-MTJ. They also operate some international tag-on routes (BOG-UIO and PTY-GYE with traffic rights; GRU-GIG without). Continental Micronesia and Continental Connection are a different story. COMike offers plenty of point-to-point routes and island hoppers. Continental Connection carrier Commutair has a hub in Albany, but also offers a handful fo point-to-point, like HPN-BWI. Connection carrier Gulfstream has a hub in FLL, but also flies a lot of Bahamas and intra-Florida routes, mainly from MIA and TPA. While Connection carrier Cape Air doesn't even fly to any CO hubs. They just fly MIA-APF, RSW-EYW, and TPA-RSW/DAB/SRQ.

Not to let this post stray any further, but pre-9/11 CO was attempting to rebuild a presence at LGA using ERJs. Both Norfolk and Richmond were among the first cities that saw service. And I believe it was Norfolk that saw continuing service onto Florida, I think CO / KMCO), USA - Florida">MCO... Richmond might have had it too, but for some reason Norfolk sticks out in my mind.

If we want to go way back to the early 90's just think of the large amount of flights that CO had intra-florida wise. They also did operate a 733 from FLL-LAS that I do have in an old OAG.

Some of those destniations, like Grand Rapids, were not even served from Newark at the time. Many would eventually get non-stops to Newark (Grand Rapids did in November 2001).

The A300 did not operate transatlantic for us, at least I never recall MIA-LGW as an A300 trip. Around that time MIA-IAH got the A300, but MIA-LGW was always DC-10 and 747. I doubt the Airbus had the legs for it, especially considering that they had a hell of a time even making EWR-LAX in either direction (most ran through DEN). In addition, our A300s were in a domestic configuration, never our old 3-class product or BusinessFirst.

Pretty impressive post.... I remember the announcement about building up the LGA Express flights... but then there was the delay situation that popped up when everyone added LGA flights....

Yeah, This is very long time ago about CO was used service from MIA-LGW some of long time ago, didn't they? I am sure will get more destination of those new cities anytime soon in the future.
I remember one of these flights from LGA before 9/11 and it is cut with some of those flights. It will not bring them back with old service to Florida again.
