I really hope this is true. I guess they will be using the D concourse in St. Louis. I hope the airport authority will spruce up the concourse for them. Also, where did you get your information (rumor or from an insider)?

Hmmm...I actually think that there's some validility to this rumor. CMH and STL make great sense as destinations - both are underserved from NYC. That's not to say that there isn't competition, but there's no LCC competition and service from JFK must be very limited.
On the same note, Neeleman publicly stated that the airline is looking for a Midwest focus-city. I think STL fits the picture pretty well. It would be great for connecting people to smaller cities in the Midwest or on the West Coast that can't support non-stop service to BOS or JFK.

Why not? 2.5 million+ in the metro area, a virtually empty concourse, central location (190's to either coast, nonstop, year round, no problem) and the hub that AA couldn't care less about. If anyone has a shot at running AA out of STL, it's B6.

Quoting B6767200 (Reply 10): Would you consider a VP a reliable source?
Nobody is really doubting the cities. The thing that I'm having a hard time believing is that B6 would have already made a decision to make STL a hub or focus city without having had experience in the market to judge the demands for service from STL and how their product will be received. Don't doubt at all that B6 may be considering STL for a hub/focus city, but the smart money is that if they do decide to do that they do it slowly and only after strong performance on core routes.

Based on my internal information, we are not starting up any MX cities through the rest of this year. That is always subject to change, but if we are not opening a city that has MX, then it will not be a hub or focus city for a little while.

I would assume that STL would start off with flights to JFK and BOS. They will probably make it known that they will make STL a focus city in the future, sort of like how BOS developed.

First of all, BOS became the second largest city in just 2 yrs, so don't discount STL as an already planned hub.
SECOND - STL makes plenty of sense; Until the A320 is fitted with the winglets, techstops will become much easier. Also, geographically, you can sercve the entire lower 48 States with either the 320, or 190.

160 MAH4546: The info is right on AA.com, and in both cases I compared round-trips. American uses a much more complicated one-way fare yield management system tha
161 SKYYBLUE: Not. If anything, airfares have gone down dramatically in the past decade or so thanks to the LCC.
162 B6767200: If you compare the rountrip then try this search... LGA FLL LGA: Depart on the 8th and return on the 10th, departure time did not matter as I searche
163 FutureFO: Rumour does have it that SDF is a strong possibility and that it could be announced very soon. B6 has had some folks out here to look at the facilitie
164 MAH4546: Always manipulating in your favour. Try again. Originate in FLL, like I did. I specifically said FLL-LGA. The LGA-FLL fares have likely sold out. AA
165 MAH4546: Never mind that, looks like the fare has gone down on AA. FLL-LGA -08Jul07 LGA-FLL -10Jul07 AA: $388 r/t B6: $418 r/t
166 B6767200: Ok so they match it if you fly FLL LGA FLL....but they do not match it in my scenario...infact the fare is more then double. Do they only match out o
167 Jacobin777: I got $713.60-$408.60=$305....still quite a bit of change though.. going out one month however, I get the same price of $208.60 for both...
168 B6767200: You are 100% correct with this fare....I imagine that AA's flight is not full. Bottom line is AA will match B6 as long as AA is not full...If AA and
169 B6DC10: Don't mock what you don't know jetBlue doesn't use a traditional fare system. If a sale fare is still available on the day of travel, it will be sold
170 MalpensaSFO: AA and UA are the worst when it comes to this ... AA's way of handing B6 was to drop SJC, OAK, LGB, ONT, PHX-JFK flights.. CO's way of handling B6 wa
171 JetBluefan1: Actually, MAH is correct. Those $89 LGA-FLL walk-up fares are long-gone (see: last fall). The current lowest walk-up from NYC or BOS to anywhere in F
172 B6DC10: JetBlueFan1 - Our fare structure is loosely based on supply and demand. If a particular day's LF is low, then walk up fares as low as $99 can be had J
173 TWAL1011727: Whats going on here....the thread stated that JetBlue to announce 2 cities. How did this thread turn into a price debate? It seems that 2 JetBlue exec
174 Stl1326: Well they are saying its going to be STL and CMH but who knows. When will this be announced, next week maybe?
175 MAH4546: jetBlue execs are always in MLB. Melbourne is the HQ of their LiveTV subsidiary.
176 Atrude777: It was me, i started it by stating AA charged high fares to NYC from STL Alex
177 JetBluefan1: B6DC10, I understand what you're saying - I know B6's pricing tactics like the back of my hand lol. You are correct that those $89 walk-ups were avai
178 LambertMan: American really does what they want with the fares out of St. Louis to major business destinations. I've seen American match and beat Southwest, and
179 B6767200: B6DC10, I also belived that a last minute purchase on AA/CO/DL/etc would cost you an arm and a leg, thanks to my debate with MAH4546, I reliazed that
180 Steeler83: Do they consider PIT to be in the Midwest as well, or are they still considered Northeast?
181 B6DC10: I completely agree with you. But you bring up an interesting point. You stated taht $400 would be too high if it was the lowest possible fare for tha
182 CentPIT: Generally the City of Pittsburgh is considered part of the Northeast, some people however will argue the city as part of the Midwest.
183 B6DC10: CentPIT - Exactly how far apart are PIT and CLE? I have never been to either city, but I hear that they are relatively close together...
184 MAH4546: It also depends on routes. American Airlines does not charge more than $599 for a walk-up coach fare on any domestic flight from MIA, FLL, and PBI.
185 HPAEAA: It usualy take me about 2 hours to drive when I do it...
186 CentPIT: Yes, it is about a two hour drive. Pittsburgh is 115 miles (AIR TRAVEL) from Cleveland. The drive is about 131 miles. Courtesy: http://www.infoplease
187 AAFlyer2006: These might be some good cities for jetBlue to serve. Wilmington, DE- ILG -city population- 72,000- metro population 5.8 million Considered part of th
188 Atrude777: Yes there is, Southwest operates 3 daily OMA-STL. While WN doesn't operate n/s OMA-LAX, they operate a one stop, and connecting possiblities, at leas
189 Texan: OMA used to have nonstops to EWR and LAX. Flights were not profitable so they were dropped. ILG is not thought of as a true alternate to Philly yet.
190 Daisywol: stay tuned for friday morning here it comes new cities are...............
191 InTheSky74: Wilmington, DE; Atlantic City, NJ or Trenton, NJ would make the people in Philadelphia VERY happy. Rob
192 Ultrapig: There is a rumor in STL that Jet Blue is coming but not to Lambert but to Mid Continent-Our white elephant airport on the east side which shares a run
193 MrSTL: If true, good for Mid-America, although if that is the case I would continue to fly AA/WN as I am an hour west of the city. However I do not buy the
194 Stl1326: I really doubt this is true. That airport has had what around three carriers fail. I just don't think they will get as big of a passenger base like t
195 Lowecur: Mid America has what 2 gates, and Allegiant is there for a few flights per week? This just doesn't seem like an option, unless Jetblue is willing to p
196 Atrude777: Ya, theres only one or two jetbridges, who is going to pay for them? Mid continent admittedly is much closer to me then STL Airport as I am on the Ill
197 Ultrapig: The carriers which failed at Midcontinent were very financially unstable-granted Midcontinent would admittedly be a hard sell to far west travelers-ho
198 MrSTL: This would blow any chance of Jetblue flying from DAL to STL as BLV is not a Wright exempted airport. I can give about 15 reasons why this will not ha
199 JetBluefan1: If BLV is in the state of MO., then it is Wright exempted I believe. JetBluefan1
200 BHMNONREV: I know that WN has used Mid-America in the past as leverage with Lambert in an effort to keep costs in check, something tells me that this is what Jet
202 Ultrapig: BHMNOREV-very good point! Mr. STL good point but given the large number of exisitng flights between Dallas and STL I doubt that any Dallas airport wou
203 Stl1326: I agree. I just don't see them offering many flights or getting very big if they opened up at BLV. I would be disappointed in Lambert if they let Jet
204 MrSTL: If they want to connect people to other destinations out of Dallas without going up against AA at DFW they will. They can poach from the Dallas marke
205 Stl1326: I guess we will find out on Friday morning......
206 JetBlueNYFL: Can we at least get a hint!? Is it the original CMH and STL as previously stated in this thread?
207 Garnetpalmetto: Time to lock this one due to length. Feel free to start a part II.
