UA service to MMH for this winter's ski season never started because of COVID. By next year, UA should be moving Mammoth Mountain flights from MMH down to BIH.

Re: UA starting ANC-FAI?!

This actually isn't the first time United has operated this route. Looking at their October 1991 flight schedules, flight UA 333 operated Chicago-Seattle/Tacoma-Anchorage-Fairbanks with a 727-200. ORD-SEA 4:37pm-6:49pm SEA-ANC 7:35pm-9:54pm ANC-FAI 10:25pm-11:17pm I'm not sure how long that lasted....

Re: Surf Air lands $200mil investment; refocus on leisure customers; plan IPO

Last week Mammoth Lakes Tourism decided to not renew capacity subsidies for JSX service between BUR and MMH. They voted for a new agreement with Advanced Air out of Hawthorne, CA. Looking at Wikipedia, Advanced Air has an agreement with Surf Air so I wonder of MMH will be added to Surf Air's new bus...

Re: EWR prior to UA and CO merger

I’m just old enough to remember when all the airlines serving EWR operated out of the North Terminal. There were a mix of props and jets back then.

Re: AA cuts CLT-TUS and ERI-PHL, announces ERI-ORD and ERI-CLT, "still evaluating" CLT-SJC

CHA-HHH? Most flights went to PIT and PHL, but they have also done mainline jets to ORD, YYZ, ELM, ITH, BGM, MDT, DTW, BFD. BUF as well. I have flown BUF-ERI on Mohawk and Allegheny on BAC 1-11’s, DC-9’s and Convair 580’s. I was really young but somehow I still remember the Convair’s. We used to fl...

Re: Alaska Airlines to announce new markets soon

Early this winter when AS pulls out of MMH, UA will start flying from MMH to LAX, SFO and DEN. The LAX flights will be your round. This is the second time AS has burned me not long after convincing me to get an AS credit card. They pulled out of ACV when I lived up there, and now MMH where I live no...

Re: JetBlue hints at new tail design

I was hoping for a rebrand with less of a focus on red eye flights from the West Coast to JFK.

Can’t sleep on planes so I search fo...

Re: Alaska Airlines to announce new markets soon

Dropping a bunch of routes after a major expansion reminds me of MarkAir’s foray into the Outside (lower 48) market. They quickly ditched most service in their core service area, expanded into competitive markets down south then went belly up.

Re: OAG Changes 7/1/2018: B6 Drops FLL-STI; UA Drops Routes or Misfile?;UA Adds LAX-MMH; AA Adds PHX-YEG for Winter

Interesting UA is adding LAX-MMH to fill the void left by AS/QX. They have served it for a long time so I’d expect this to do well seasonally. Pretty sure the route is subsidized by the town/resort. Yes, the town and the ski area subsidize the route with a tourist tax referred to as the TBID. On fl...

Re: First look: United Premium Plus

Re: Delta to serve Mumbai nonstop in 2019

Paris Terrorist Attacks - Part 1

My thoughts are with the French. Hopefully Isil did not not instigate a second holocaust.
