Hello all, I was looking at a satellite picture of a warehouse I am working on and I notice there is a terminal within the airfield in Toronto. Does anyone have any visibility into why there is this terminal there with no street access and nine gates? https://www.google.com/maps/place/Toronto+Pearso...

Jump to postJust happened upon F9's inaugural flight MSY-CVG today. Got some good MSY swag (pralines, earbuds, etc.) Oh yeah, 25min from LT garage to gate. But the traffic circle, what a mess.

Jump to postI am reviewing the email sent from Jetblue. Why would Blue Extra not include a checked back when Blue Plus does? I wonder how this affects JetBlue credit card holder benefits.
Jump to postMost of the other places you mentioned such as LGA, ATL, DFW, MCO, DEN, AUS, ORD, and CUN are already served nonstop out of MSY on WN, F9, or NK. In addition, many of those traveling to MSY from most of these markets prefer to do so on airlines other than B6. ..and some people think cucumbers taste...

Jump to postRevenue management at American Airlines is smoking some really weird stuff when they think pricing LGA-FCA-LGA at >$2000 in coach is a remotely good idea. Did I mention that at that fare, passengers still have to pay for checked luggage and onboard meals?

Jump to postOf all the carriers, UA is the most likely to create a police state.

So unless you have...

Jump to postWhat's the point of keeping ISP open now? Captive loyalists. F9 proved that you can fill seats at ISP with competitive fares.

Jump to postUA neither controls nor manages AV. In fact, they specifically put Efromovich's stake in AV under the former TACA owner's control to avoid this problem. Your second sentence leads me to believe that in fact they DO control AV in that they were able to structure the deal in a way to "avoid"...

I have to agree. It’s remarkable how Spirit’s presence has affected AA over the past decade. They went from having a very comfortable product on the 737-800s with a great FF program, to just being an expensive version Spirit. I’m glad to see NK continue to expand and allow more people to travel who...

Dedicated bus service? So you mean if I miss the 4pm bus I won’t be able to catch the next one? (Source: https://web.coachusa.com/info/shortline ... xpress.asp?)
At least with JFK EWR you can always catch the next option, SWF you can’t.

@LAX772LR they are also an airline that refuses to participate in pre-check.
Typically when MSY has a route that gets more competition the lower fares stimulate O&D significantly. With reliability now better than some of the legacies, WIFI and other improvements, they can hold their own. I used to be a NEVER Spirit guy and I have to say, their low fares (in spite of nic...
