Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

It is possible. But airbus can’t deliver the planes soon enough and WN doesn’t want another fleet type.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

That really does suck

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Lots of new routes for BNA, I count a total of 4 starting June 4th. What’s the fight count there this summer?

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

That’s a very significant decrease. ATL is basically like TPA and MCI at this point.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Oh no. How many flights is ATL down to now?

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Has anyone spotted any interesting route increases or destinations?

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

They got GSP-ATL going from three times a day to once a day starting June 4th which makes no sense as that is when peak travel season occurs. Are all of the flights not loaded yet? It looks like they’re still adjusting the prices. GSP-BWI goes from once a day to twice a day starting at the same tim...

Re: JetBlue Network - 2024

Does anyone have any data that they are allowed to share on how JFK-GUA is doing?

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

What a beautiful plane. Sad to see it won’t join WN until the end of next year at the latest (my guess).

Re: United Airlines Network - 2024

Shocking UA can’t sustain IAH-Hartford.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

I think it’s unfair in multiple aspects. DAL should be expanded and allow WN and whoever wants to add flights there to do so. So I agree that it is also unfair for other airlines who want to use DAL and can’t. That’s why I I think the ultimate payer of this fiasco is the consumer, who does not benef...

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Not allowing Southwest to expand at DAL is the most anticompetitive thing ever. It’s unfair, and ends up affecting consumers more than anything.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

I don’t see how WN will get more than 3-4 gates, there’s no space.

Re: Delta Air Lines Network - 2024

Does DL have room to grow in SEA? I’m happy to see DFW, MIA, and TPE launching this year

Re: Iberia launching Singapore?

Iberia is far from being a premium airline. I just flew them on business class and was shocked by how bad the service and the seat were. Food was given on a tray like economy, barely saw flight attendants at all once food service was over, food was mediocre, seat was old and screen was unresponsive,...

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

2025.

Im just very curious as to where the gate space will come, because terminal E is pretty busy with Frontier, Spirit, United, Delta, JetBlue, Alaska.

Re: Boston Aviation - 2024

Thanks for the info. I’m guessing that the next possible routes might be IAH, YYZ, YUL, PDX, SDQ. Outside of those I don’t really see where else they would add given the hub isn’t really the best for connections.

Re: Boston Aviation - 2024

Flew through BOS the other day on AA, and noticed that DL had quite a few gates empty for a few hours straight. I’m wondering how many more flights DL could add.

AA also has so many gates and thought their level of service seems to be rather low compared to prior years.

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Any idea when the next plane is fue to be delivered?

Re: Breeze starting BGR, DFW, LNS, LAN, PNS

I am truly rooting for Breeze. The US needs more competition.

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Are mods going to be affected by the FAA oversight situation?

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

I’m shocked WN doesn’t fly DAL-BOS to cater their Dallas-based customers. I’ve had to travel to BOS a couple of times recently and economy tickets on AA/DL were 500+.

There’s no way WN would struggle filling two daily flights.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

If WN bought an airline it would be Sun Country. But it’s not happening cause the airline said so and the pilots said they were not aware of any current plans either.

Re: JetBlue Network - 2024

Do we have any information on where this capacity is being placed?

Glad to see GUA sticking around as well as TPA-CUN.

Re: JetBlue Network - 2024

Any idea when more E190s are being phased out? Seems like JetBlue has gotten 4 or 5 A220s already this year and no E190s have been taken out of service. The E190s and B6's fleet is part of its problem. For an airline of its size, it operates E190s, A321, A320, and A3220. Four types is a lot for an ...

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

We need a healthy WN. I’m rooting for them and hoping they turn the corner soon. I personally love flying them, but their old interiors and stagnated growth is sad to see.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

lol. Some people like Southwest, some don’t. Some people like vegetables, some don’t. Some people like the beach, some would rather go to the mountains where it’s cold.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

I know WN has declined denied that it’s considering adding a new fleet, but watch them snap hundreds of E2 195s at a discounted price in the next year.

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

I wonder what the plan is to start service from DFW. I’m guessing something similar to IAH given the lack of gate space and planes.

Re: American Airlines Network - 2024

There should be enough room, the terminal is not as busy throughout most of the day.

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Any idea why UA doesn’t schedule a revenue TPA-ORD flight to re-position the aircraft once it’s been inducted?

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Amazing that the Boeing debacle will lead to 100 less deliveries for United. That is shocking and embarrassing for Boeing.

I know things get worse before they get better, but dang.

Re: JetBlue Network - 2024

Excited to see how B6 shapes its network moving forward.

I am a bit surprised NK is cutting IAH-SAL given the massive VFR. Spirit Airlines used to fly some regional routes from Houston before. Only NK SAP-IAH left in service plus the resumption of NK IAH-SJO. Based on the records of the Cent Am aviation thread, NK IAH-MGA, NK IAH-SAL and NK IAH-SJO were ...

Re: American Airlines Network - 2024

Any idea what the flight count for the summer is?

Re: American Airlines Network - 2024

I see it differently. For example, I’m an AA platinum at DFW. Which means, I’ll never get upgraded. But, I get priority boarding, I earn 60% more miles, I get 2 free checked bags, and I can pick seats with more leg room for free. To me, that’s a pretty sweet deal.

Re: ITA Airways News and Discussion - 2024

How many aircraft is ITA scheduled to receive this year?

Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Will the newer 737-700s get the new interiors? Seems odd to not reconfigure them given they’re still a big chunk of the fleet. Those interiors are really old and kind of embarrassing.

Re: American Airlines Network - 2024

I’m flying from DFW to MXP, and the best options were DFW-JFK-MXP, and then MXP-MAD-DFW. I was shocked to see the ORD flights don’t connect to the JFK-Europe flights. If you have to connect you might as well fly to LIN. If your destination is in the city, the only reason to fly to MXP is to avoid a...

Re: Central America Aviation - 2024

Many in SAL/GUA are desperate for WN to start service there. With the whole MAX7 situation and ongoing losses, I doubt they would venture into those markets right now. I could be wrong, though.

Re: American Airlines Network - 2024

Looks like AA made some cuts to LGA this summer and/or late spring, basically reducing a bunch of markets by 1-2 daily. Nothing major, although interesting given their increases in PHL. LGA-BHM/DAY suspended LGA-CHO down to 1x daily LGA-CVG down to 2x daily LGA-STL down to 2x daily LGA-YUL down to ...

Re: Chicago Aviation - 2024

Also, my friend who works on the corporate side of AA at ORD said AA is really ramping of frequencies on eagle routes, too. She said starting this summer AA plans to route a lot more connections through Chicago, so we can expect to see a much busier T3 this summer as compared to the past several. I...

Re: Chicago Aviation - 2024

Looking over the schedules, the AA hub definitely looks more and more like a power house hub. That makes me very happy. 8 daily to LGA/BOS/DCA/LAX 11 daily to DFW 7 daily to MIA 4 daily to MCO/SFO/SAN/AUS 3 daily to TPA/IAH/ATL/SEA Those are just a few examples, and A LOT more mainline than before f...
