Airlines You'd Like To See At Your Home Airport?

I'm based at Warsaw (
WAW/EPWA), so here goes:
AA - although it has codeshare with
LO.
UA - member of Star, so?
AC - same as
UA
Iberia - also codeshare with
LO
Aer Lingus
TAP Air Portugal
Olympic
Icelandair
Emirates (as part of the ever expanding network
)
the Low costs (Ryanair, Easyjet etc.)
Varig.
JAL or ANA
That's a long wishlist, but with Poland joining the EU next year (most likely), some of these could appear.

FedEx in HGR (Hagerstown, Md) so I would only have to drive one mile to work instead of 85 to
BWI.........Just dreaming! I'm sure that would never happen. I am allowed to dream though.

I think
BMI would be good for Liverpool. They'd give plenty of domestic destinations (which
LPL needs) and perhaps in the future maybe a transatlantic flight.

These would be nice at
PIT:
B6
LH
AC (mainline or Tango; just one flight on something bigger than the Jazz we have now)
EI (seasonal weekly service only)
MX (seasonal weekly service to break up the US rule on this route (although, we'll see how
TZ and USA3000 can affect prices this winter)

An international airline or 2 would be nice. And I'm pretty sure we are on the list for Jetblue although we will probably have to wait for the RJs.

I would like to see Horizon Air at Wichita to serve
SEA with their CRJ-700's and
B6 with their ERJ-190's. Also, expanded Air Tran flights would be a plus.

Just to expand on your thoughts, Wolfpacker...
...at
RDU I think it would be reasonable to look foreward to JetBlue and Frontier...
...and I'd love to see Lufthansa and Virgin or
BA come here.
And on the not-so-reasonable list, I'd love to see Alaskan direct to
SEA and
ANC, and QANTAS.

At

America West: to
PHX or
LAS (CRJ700 or something like that)
Frontier: to
DEN (Does Frontier fly small aircraft)
United (already has
ORD/sometimes
IAD): to
DEN (CRJ would be fine)
AirTran: to
ATL (717)
Delta (in addition to
ATL/
CVG/
DFW): to
SLC (CRJ)
JetBlue: to Midwest hub if it comes to fruition (900)
Southwest: to
DAL if they go with smaller aircraft as mentioned on this forum
(Southwest already serves
STL/
MDW/
BHM/
BWI/
TPA/
MCO/are there more?

At
DFW, I would love to see the following:
Qantas (maybe in the works, who knows)
Air France (rumored to be coming back)
JAL (also rumored to be coming back)
KLM (but they already serve Houston)
Eva Air (passenger service)
Air Canada (mainline)
Mexicana (I can't believe they're not here)
LanChile (they're a oneworld member, maybe it could work)
Singapore Airlines (doubtful)
Thai (they used to be here)
South African (doubtful now that they're aligned with
DL)
Aeroflot (keep dreaming)
I'd also love to see
BA or someone launch 747 service, but I don't think that's in the picture for the near future.

I would like to see

I would also like to see:
Virgin Atlantic
South African
Gulf Air (not sure how Emirates would feel about this)
Quantas
I would especially like to see
BA introduce heavier equipment (777 / 744). The runway would definitely need lengthening first though!

To be realistic, as opposed to some posts above, I'd like to see Frontier come to Jacksonville. Currently this city of a million people has no service to any point west of Dallas.
For existing airlines, American to Chicago would be nice, and could make it feasible to fly American to the northeast (after Nov 1 will just have 2 x
STL, 3 x
DFW, 3 x
MIA).

I really want
BA to fly to
EMA, it'd make my home airport a lot more busier. But there is probabaly too much competition from the low-cost carriers like Easyjet and Bmibaby.

Swiss - Want them back!
Air New Zealand would be sweet too.
BMI
Air Greenland
Aer Lingus

From the States:
Jetblue
Southwest
Frontier

I'm sick of seeing a sea of Air Canada.

Form Gulfport/Biloxi (
GPT):
Northwest: Replace a couple of CRJ flts w/DC9/ARJ equip.to provide needed seats and first class service. Add 3x daily to
DTW, and a daily frequency to
MSP.
Delta: Move in a couple of mainline flts, more seats on Rjs to
ATL.
DFW 3x daily form weekend only. daily frequency to
CVG and
MCO.
Continetal: Up at least another flt to 737 equip. Add daily
EWR flts. 2 to 3 daily on
RJ w/ 737 on high demand flts.
Airtran: Move mid morning ATl flt to earlier departure time, fill that mid morning void w/ a frequency to
BWI. re-launch
DFW flt w/ start of foucus city. Sat flt to
MCO. Third flt in evening to
ATL.
American: Daily flts on Eagele 145, C
RJ-700s to
DFW. 1x daily to
MIA, and 3x daily to
ORD. Upgrade from Eagle to mainline as needed.
Frotier: Could use a daily flt to provide low fare connecting service to Rockies and West coast.
American West: Daily flt to
PHX and
LAS, these too could rotate days if needed.
SWA: No real firm ideas, except this one. COME
TO GPT OVER
MOB AND
PNS!
could see charter oppurtunites for ATA.
Prehaps some scheduled Spirit flts down the road
International:
Some form of weekly or a few fequencies a week to Canada and Centeral America/Mexico.
Maybe a weekly flt on
BA/AF. Pax would come form all around region.
I'll be starting a more indepth form on
GPT needed services sometime this weekend. If you have anything positive to say about it,please do, if not,keep your hole closed and fingers off the keyboard.

I consider both
ISP and
JFK "home" airports. Sticking with realistic new service, I'd like to see the return of
AA and
DL mainline at
ISP, maybe US mainline too.
JFK's a tough call as it already is served by just about any carrier that would ever come to the region. I'm not counting those which serve
EWR or
LGA instead, like
SK,
TP or
F9. I would suppose the possible new ones at
JFK might include Emirates, Thai, Kenya, maybe
BMI.

Im based in

Rumor is once the new runway is completed they might come in. that would be nice. I have benefits on them but never use them since its easier to fly direct

In Tucson, would love to see JetBlue. Continental used to do seasonal nonstops to
EWR, JetBlue would be a welcome addition to
JFK and maybe
LGB/
OAK as well. Aerocalifornia would be great to see here again. How about Aloha, serving
HNL with a stop in
SNA or
BUR? Internationally, the only possiblilty for service would be south to Mexico- I mentioned Aerocalifornia already- but where's Mexicana? They'd be welcome here too.

ANYTHING good at Dunsfold
. After all it is my HOME airport
Okay my home Intl airport is Gatwick and I'd love to see i few more Asian carriers there, Garuda being the only one (as far as can think of). Maybe a Malaysian or Singapore (So long as they don't bring the B777 - Too many of them at Gatwick). For
BA to put back
ALL the long hauls they took from Gatwick to operate from Heathrow would almost be a dream for me. I highly miss seeing the good old
BA B747-200/400's at Gatwick. Also for Virgin to put back the two Newark flights and the Miami and Boston flights they took out from Gatwick.
So generally i'd like any of these at
LGW:
Malaysian (B744)
Singapore (B744 or A340)
Cathay Pacific (B744 or A346/A343)
Very unlikely but still, maybe if
LGW's second runway plan goes ahead we might be seeing some more long haul carriers in the airport. I hope so anyway
