They actually fly this route daily. It used to be 4x weekly and seasonal (June 1-October 29) when it was launched in 2022, but it changed (not sure when) to daily and year-round. As for the connecting AA traffic, I think that's pretty much the only reason they fly to DFW at all lol (and vice-versa ...
Jump to postIve seen UA routing IAH-ZRH via LHR/CDG/AMS.
Jump to postI noticed today a couple interesting routes... Wizz - Gdansk to Tromso... in January, is it maybe oil workers? Northern Norway tourism? Also, AC - YVR to DXB... 16hrs 787-9 .. is it simply tourism either end or is there business connections between the cities? Just 2 routes I thought were interesti...
Jump to postDoes anyone know how AA PHL-LGA and UA PHL-EWR are doing? I get the EWR flight but not the LGA one, there arent many flights you can take from PHL and not from LGA (this is true for EWR), or is it simply to keep the LGA slot?
Jump to postI was wondering what the reason is for the DL DTW-FRA flight? I know most of the TATL/TPAC routes from DTW are car related but most of the German car industry is centered around Munich (They do have a seasonal MUC flight). Also on the same note I was wondering about CLT-FRA because I know AAs CLT-MU...
Jump to postI was wondering how IAD-BRU is doing? I find it strange that its such a big market, I thought maybe its because of connections to Africa but I think Ethiopian Airlines and CDG got it pretty much covered.
Jump to postI guess it's not "strange" but AA is starting CLT-YVR daily on an A321, seems like a lot for simply O&D, but I don't see what connections it serves that can't be served from their successful YVR-DFW (its in summer so not even connections to the Caribbean). Their once-a-week YYC-CLT se...

Jump to postMany of DL's dropped routes are around the dismantled hub of NRT. That said, many of those routes were not actually dropped, but replaced by service to HND from the same US gateways, as the NRT hub was closed and no longer served as the transit point beyond Tokyo for destinations across Asia. And t...
Jump to postI don't think anyone has mentioned Iraqi Airways and their Baghdad-Amman-Lisbon-Rio de Janeiro route that operated throughout the 1980s....

Jump to postA strange route was the weekly GRU-MPN by LATAM until de pandemic, once a month they stopped in COR. The Falkland government subsized the route. Wow, that is a strange route, does anyone know the reason? I also find it strange LATAM Chile flies to Easter Island on a 787-9 daily, a big plane for an ...

Jump to postAer Lingus EWR-BDL. It seems a bit random when you consider the fact that EI already flies to nearby NE huns such as BOS, JFK, and EWR. There's also Condor's FRA-YXY route.

RG’s GRU-GIG-JNB-BKK-HKG was also a hilarious vanity route, seemingly based on throwing darts on a map! The route was GIG-GRU-JNB... it was not strange because the growth of Hong Kong and China economy, TransBrasil even had plans to fly China via AMS with 767-200ER and a test flight was made in 199...

AS flies GEG-BOI, I know BOI is a focus city but is there a specific reason for this particular route?
I know CLT-MUC flights by LH/AA are mainly catered to BMW/Daimler workers in NC/SC, but I was wondering if the AA CLT-FRA flight has a reason similar to the MUC flight? Or is it mainly to fill connections at CLT? In a way CLT is a bit of an unusual hub in itself, in the sense that it has a sizeable...

OK so unfortunately I will probably be on that flight I wrote about, I was told to tell the FA that I have a short connection and they can let me deplane first/call a ground agent. However, I had another thing in mind, because I will be flying with a checked bag 30 minutes is also a very short time ...

Jump to postAnother route I just thought of is KEF-FAE, I don't think its a touristic/VFR route, maybe it has something to do with the cargo?

Jump to postHi guys, So a few weeks ago I found out that Azores Airlines flies PDL-BDA which I thought was very strange and after a post I found out there is a pretty big Azorean population that works and lives in Bermuda (They also fly TER-OAK which is weird but serves Azorean population in the bay area). So I...

Jump to postTraffic on this route is predominantly Portgueese living and working in Bermuda visiting family in PDL. A large Portgueese population is also resident in Bermuda that have ties to the Azores. Thanks for the input! I checked and there are about 16,000 people with Portuguese ancestry living in Bermud...

I know most of their other flights to North America are a mixture of VFR and tourism.
Hi, I wanted to figure out why URC has so many flights to neighboring Muslim countries, I know there are many Uyghurs in this region but from what I saw Urumqi does not have many immigrants from neighboring countries, and it's not in the middle of Asia so its location does not seem to be about conne...
