This is good news. Should have been done months ago. The COVID problem needs to be solved and vacation trips is not the solution. Selfish. Tome to suck it up Tome? Tell that to the people who’s livelihoods are reliant on the tourism and travel industry. Get real. It’s not good news. Delusional thin...
Jump to postI don't understand how they feel that testing will increase demand to travel? I can tell you right now it absolutely will not and that it will have a massive negative effect. While it may be easy to get tested in some countries, in others, it is virtually impossible, especially within the 3 day tim...
Jump to postSo this virus (Covid) has been called by many in the medical field a cousin to the common cold. The way certain governments (Canada, Australia, USA, Great Britain, etc) and particular airlines such as Porter, Delta, Qantas, Air Canada, etc, have reacted to this is absolutely ridiculous. They’ve bec...
Jump to postGoing on vacation to the Caribbean or Mexico is hardly "Essential Travel" The less travel, the less opportunity for infections and transmissions from one location to another. It’s not the Black Plague/death. Get real. It’s a cousin to the common cold. Once people, government, etc stop act...

Jump to postI wouldn’t be surprised to see G4 add others such as SEA, STL, MSN, CLE, DTW, DFW, etc.
Jump to postAccording to TPG, AA is resuming DFW-SGU. Does anyone know when the flight resumes? Couldn’t find it anywhere. Thanks.

Agreed for 2 reasons, first being Allegiant, the second being Frontier and Spirit all having very strong presences at SFB & MCO. I think there might be a better chance of seeing Breeze at DAB. The airport authority at DAB is desperate for new, low-cost service and would be willing to pay incent...
Jump to postOr better yet avoid California all together.
I’ve noticed a lot of the delayed flights which results in people rushing between concourses are the early morning arrivals on OO from airports up in Montana that are arriving into B gates that require the shuttle from plane to concourse.
I think there might be a better chance of seeing Breeze at DAB. The airport authority at DAB is desperate for new, low-cost service and would be willing to pay incentives to an airline like Breeze. There is a decent catchment area for DAB that includes Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, New Smyrna Beach,...
Jump to postThe connection at DTW between concourse A and B/C is done by moving sidewalk or walking. The issues at SLC right now are due to construction sequencing. When done SLC will have a decent facility to use into the future. A little pain for long term gain is worth it. I think a problem SLC will always ...
Jump to postI think there’s one factor that is probably causing a lot of these complaints - that the O&D carriers (aka non DL) are all in the far out B gates. When every passenger on WN/UA/AA (because every pax is O&D) has to hike all the way to B, they are going to complain. Meanwhile, many of the Del...
Jump to postIn my opinion, every airport terminal/concourse layout should be similar to the distance between Schiphol’s main terminal and the Polderbaan, for example. Passengers cannot seem to follow the concept of a timetable, or to respect minimum check-in times, comprehend sense-of-urgency, time management,...
Jump to postOver/under on the chances we see Breeze using SFB as their airport for Orlando. I’m giving it a 10% chance.
Jump to postI'm all for it. There are far too many available point to point routes out there that can support RJ service. As we all know, ExpressJet tried this once before in 2007/2008 but unfortunately the recession hit and fuel prices skyrocketed. Hopefully the timing will be better this time. I don’t think ...

Jump to postI’m sitting at SLC right now and just had to go from the A concourse to the B concourse and it was comical seeing passengers running between the two concourses and the looks on their faces and hearing what they were saying once they saw the tunnel and distance to/from their connecting flights.

I can confirm that both IDA (Idaho Falls) and PVU (Provo) are currently in talks with Breeze.
Jump to postDL is probably feeling the pressure from B6 to protect whatever is left of their RDU focus city.
I also think DL should be as aggressive right now with AUS the same way B6 has been with RDU as of late. AUS could really be in play for DL as a true focus city if they play their cards right.
I think many of you are wishing for pipe dream type routes. I don’t think it’ll be a complicated network for the first few years. I see it as something similar to MCO/RSW/MYR/VPS-XXX/YYY/ZZZ type routes. I think the network will be connecting smaller to mid-sized markets with little to no competiti...

Jump to postHopefully they eventually add some second airports out west such as AZA, PVU, and LGB
Jump to postKudos to Breeze for not having any euro White on their aircraft. Now just waiting to see where they actually fly!
Jump to postFingers crossed F9 announces PVU service to LAS and OAK this year
Jump to postDEN now has service to five airports in Utah. SGU, VEL, CNY, SLC, and PVU. I think that’s the most for Utah. Pretty impressive.
Jump to postGood! Hopefully all the other U.S. airlines follow their lead. There is no need for emotional support animals anymore. It’s just playing into the snowflake culture and allowing people to feel entitled and wrongly special. I’m all for trained service animals for people with legitimate disabilities an...

Jump to postHow many of the JetBlue routes that are going to 0 for February were recently announced? Seems like they have been the new Frontier, just “throwing darts at the board.” I had few chances last year to fly them and glad I did not, and now planning a trip for mid February and they are the cheapest opt...
Jump to postDL has taken over the SLC-GDL flight that AM once operated. It’s a JV route so it doesn’t really make a difference who’s flying it.
Jump to postWish there were more casual dinning options. There are hardly any in the two concourses.
Jump to postI’m hearing consistent complaints and unhappiness about the long walks from check-in to the gates, especially if you’re flying out of concourse B. There are also complaints about trying to make connections, sitting on the tarmac while waiting for a gate to open up, the ridiculous bus system if you’r...
Jump to postI could see IDA getting a bunch of extra flights and/or up-gauged equipment during the three month closure of JAC in Spring 2022. I don’t see IDA getting hardly any additional service. Still going to be pricey. If anything I think SLC will see more traffic/car rentalS drive up to Jackson Hole once ...
Jump to postI’m hearing that Breeze is shifting their focus and will now start operations out west, potentially Arizona, Utah, and Texas from my sources.

Jump to post100-year anniversary of SLC.

With FAT and SBA being announced today, what cities might we see next? I think WN will focus on smaller markets such as RDM, SGU, JAC, ACT, and SAF.
Jump to postTwo or three years ago I spoke to some NK FA's that had said NK was planning to start service to BNA, SAC and ELP. Pre-COVID NK did start service at the first two. I wonder if post-COVID NK may enter ELP after all? If so to where? I'm hoping for ELP-some East coast city. Sounds legit. It's well kno...
Jump to postAS should try ANC-SLC, especially now that DL has clearly shown they do not intend to fly that route.
Jump to postNicknuzzii wrote:All 3 NYC will probably shrink. Mostly LGA though.
Once the pandemic passes and maybe even beginning next year, what airports might we see grow the most whether because of tourism, growing population in the metro area, businesses relocating, etc.?
Off the top of my head I think of FLG, SGU, RDM, SLC, AUS, DEN, PVU, MCO, PSP, and BOI.
What is the status or update on the ginormous new rental car facility near LAX?
Jump to postHopefully HA adds SLC and BOI soon.
