My bet is on WN to either MDW or BWI. OKC has had BWI for a while and usually TUL follows suit if OKC does well on something. I work for UA in TUL and we have heard nothing about it so I would be surprised if we added SFO!

I agree that TUL-MDW or BWI by WN or TUL-SFO by UA are the most likely contenders, but here are some thoughts.
WN TUL-MCI (reinstatement)
AA TUL-MIA (reinstatement of sorts, unlikely)
WN TUL-AUS (might work well with continuing service to South Texas)
US TUL-CLT
Far-fetched pipe dreams:
G4 TUL-AZA
WN TUL-ICT-DEN x1 (currently nonstop multiple times a day)
WN TUL-ABQ (reinstatement from years ago)
WN TUL-LIT
WN TUL-CUN (although we'd see HOU-CUN first)
DL TUL-LGA
AC TUL-YYC or TUL-YYZ (either operated by Jazz)
B6 or DL TUL-JFK (once flown by TW, I believe)
AS*/QX TUL-SEA
F9 TUL-DEN (reinstatement)
F9 TUL-MSY

Interesting. I will be surprised if it is not WN, and I will be surprised if it's something other than TUL-MDW or BWI. These cities are served out of OKC along with MCI, which I'd say is highly unlikely to come back being such a short distance. This will be an extension covering most of the summer so we may see quite a few changes. TUL should be lucky to get be getting any "LUV" if they do as systemwide capacity planned to be relatively flat for the time being.

I still see a chance of US. I no they flew to OKC(AW) it's funny how people don't say CLT will work where there is 646 flights a day that's double than PHX so wouldn't you think CLT stands a chance
But at the end I honestly believe it will be WN with a TUL-MDW or TUL-BWI

OKC will get this LONG before TUL does.

Why? As it stands now, Tulsa has non-stop service to Florida, and OKC does not. The markets are very similar - no reason one would get a route over another. And their respective destinations list are extremely similar.
Total daily flights 92 85 64
Total airports 17 23 17
Total cities 15 21 15
Total seats 9,428 7,244 5,914
Interesting. It would be telling to also see the total pax volume at TUL for those 3 years listed; I'm sure all of the categories would continue to show obvious relationships/synergies.
Nice to hear of something new coming to TUL. I hope it's something significant.
Just since nobody's mentioned it, I'll go with Spirit to DFW. (But down deep inside, I'd probably bet on Canyon Blue.)

The MIA service is solely due to AA's maintenance hub at TUL. Take that away, and TUL is pretty close to an all-RJ airport (minus WN).

It was introduced as a temporary route at the time to route planes for seat reconfiguration while the 738s were getting new interiors.
With that no longer needed, the route actually was suspended, but later resumed as a winter-only service (when it was done for maintenance purposes it ran during the summer, too).

Not really.
OKC has:
AA: DFW, LAX, ORD
WN: DAL, HOU, DEN, LAS, MCI, STL, BWI, MDW, PHX
UA: CLE DEN IAH SFO LAX IAD EWR ORD
DL: MEM SLC ATL DTW MSP
F9: DEN
TUL: AA: DFW, ORD, MIA
WN: DAL, HOU, DEN, LAS, PHX, STL
UA: DEN, IAH, LAX, IAD, EWR, ORD
DL: MEM, SLC, ATL, DTW, MSP
TUL has that OKC does not: MIA-AA
OKC has that TUL does not: LAX-AA, CLE-UA, SFO-UA, MDW-WN, MCI-WN, BWI-WN, DEN-F9
Total pax 2011 Jan-Dec: OKC: 3,561,605 (+2.75% over 2010) TUL: 2,794,290 (-1.84% from 2010)

26 stock1985: While I do think the new service will be WN to MDW or BWI, since it is coinciding with Southwest's new network release. I wonder when AA will expand L

28 Fiveholer: So that's it? TUL-MDW on WN? The TAA Facebook site hasn't posted yet...they say "It's not time yet."
29 usdcaguy: It's posted now, with a notation about the "918" flight number. Very cute. There is now too much service from Tulsa to Chicago. AA does not fill its 7
30 contrails: The MDW news is more than a bit disappointing. I was hoping for a Florida destination.
31 airliner371: Its not disappointing at all. It will allow for a lot more connections and great for business passengers. You can easily connect to Florida if you wi
32 iowaman: Barely. I suspect there will be a loss of some connecting passengers in STL, but not all will choose MDW of course. STL offers markets like DCA (not

34 usdcaguy: My impression is that Oklahoma beach traffic is spread too thinly over Mexico, California and Florida to warrant nonstop service. It's hard being in
35 ouboy79: TUL is probably more prone to leakage than OKC when it comes to Florida as well. You have G4 a short drive away in Springfield and Fayetteville. OKC
