I noticed some cities have gotten very MCO heavy (ie. ACY has 4-5x daily to MCO and only one FLL in the evening which connects to almost nothing). I checked recently and found 2x daily on ACY-FLL. I did notice a decent MCO schedule too and plan on using it this Spring. What I find interesting is Sp...
Jump to postDirectflights.com is showing a one-off SY CMH-EWR in June (6/15) and it appears to be bookable: https://www.directflights.com/CMH-EWR I wonder if they might start selling repositioning legs between spokes now instead of just flights to and from MLS charters.

It'd be nice, but the E-jets and CR9s (C50s for UA) are their not-so-secret weapons. CMH-NYC doesn't historically have high load factors becau...
Jump to postNK is adding CMH-BOS and CMH-EWR in August. Quite a little build up this summer (remember they are also starting CMH-LGA in May), we’ll see how much of it lasts. Wow, I wonder what's up with the clandestine little build up of CMH (and PIT). Is this a result of the failed B6 merger? Was the combined...
