This compares what is for sale this week for the stated period versus what was for sale the prior week...NOT the prior year.
How to read:
ABE-MDT 3>2 APR means a reduction in one roundtrip from 3 to 2 for April only
ABE-MDT 3.8>2.7 APR-JUN This is the raw format of the data which sometimes I'm too lazy to retype. It means that over a month they were averaging a little less than 4 trips per day and now it's a little less than 3 per day. So, basically they cancelled 8 flights per week or so. Airliens are doing A LOT of non-daily ops now, so these fractions are pervasive.
ABE-MDT 4>6 MAY- means an increase from 4 to 6 roundtrips starting in May and continuing
ABE-MDT 4>6 MAY-JUN, 5>6 JUL means the change is only for the stated period May to June and then a different change for July in the same route
Please take it easy on any typos...

Most of these increases simply raise flying to the March level because they had planned a reduction in utilization after March that now appears reversed.

These are one-off flights operated by Comair CRJ's for Kentucky Derby traffic. They are operating a single LGA-SDF-LGA trip each on Friday 04/30/10 and Sunday 05/02/10.

Quoting Super80DFW (Reply 1): This route seems to be very seasonal when it comes to frequencies. Nice to see OKC is able to sustain 2x during the summer time.
I agree. I wonder what causes that seasonality.

Vacation. I know back a few years ago (when money was still good) our family would go to LAX once every summer. I know of other families/individuals that do the same.
They reduced it a few weeks ago and now its gone. I agree it's odd. I would expect it to come back at some point. I was shocked to see DL is still flying SLC-GDL. They announced that days after F9 announced DEN-GDL, but DL remains.

Quoting Enilria (Reply 7): Yeah that's usually to Vegas or Florida. It appears California is very seasonal. Is OK just over the Disney World/Disneyland border so people go West?
After a hot summer day in OKC, a nice 70 degree day on the beach in LA is pretty good. LA also has some good attractions, so it is like Orlando but much better WX in the summer.

Disney World attracts from all over the country, since its a resort, and it offers more attractive deals to vacationers - package deals, free dining, affordable hotels on property, free transportation from MCO, etc.
Disneyland is a local's park - it has over 1M annual passholders that account for more than two-thirds of its 15M visits each year. It also doesn't have budget-friendly lodging like Disney World.
It's often cheaper to just go to Disney World, unless you are within driving distance of Disneyland. Out-of-towners to Disneyland typically tie it in with a bunch of other sightseeing, like San Diego, Hollywood, etc.

So in industry parlance, OKC is one of the first "Western leaning cities". I would argue that DFW and Kansas City are Eastern leaning. One of my "leaning" definitions is traffic to NY is greater than or less than LA.

Disneyland is a local's park
Actually I've noticed on DEN TV when I've overnighted that they promote Disneyland more than Disney World.
That very probably is true, especially if the ads were on local television, but roughly 70% of Disneyland visitors are from California, as opposed to around 95% of Disney World visitors who are overnight guests. In the mid-1990's Disney attempted to convert Disneyland into a "destination resort," and they failed miserably. They re-focused on it becoming a local's park again by the mid-2000's.
Allegiant's LA operation isn't based on bringing people to Disneyland. No operation would survive on that; but the Allegiant model can work to bring people to Disney World fom just about anywhere in the country, given the right equipment.
If Allegiant ever gets some used 757s, then connecting some of the west markets to Orlando could be a hit; but I don't think the same could be said for connecting the east markets to LA.

DEN-PHX down to only 5 a day. WN has really taken this market away from UA. Didn't they used to have 8 or 10 dailys on this run?

No. As I remember, UA's presence in PHX has been somewhat unremarkable since it went all TED. Actually now, I was surprised to see the amount of 757s UA was utilizing into PHX. I bet their premium cabin travel has gone through the roof.

Maybe I'm thinking about pre Ted when they had "Shuttle by United" all 737s.

I am so glad to see AM metal back in ATL. But isn't this something like the 3rd or 4th time they have come and gone? Wonder what the reasoning is?
Landing on every Continent almost on an annual basis!

Agreed, but again I always thought it was odd that people in Oklahoma consider L.A. a major vacation destination. Oklahoma, traditionally, has not even had non-stop service to anywhere in Florida. I guess that's part of it.

Given their schedule quality it is probably a typo!

This is great news. I can't remember the last time PVD has gotten anything new or additional. I hope the flight does well and it sticks around for a while.

Yes PVD has been pretty quiet since the Delta Express/Metrojet era...
