Re: Southwest Airlines News and Discussion Thread - 2022

The amount of cheap intra-California flying WN is doing this summer is insane.

Frontier has an "exciting announcement" tomorrow at 9AM MST per their social media pages. They have a hint of "Hold onto your butts" I can't imagine they would do Hawaii, not right now at least, but that quote is from the original Jurassic Park, which was filmed in Hawaii. Any g...

Just went today and apparently it’s not there anymore due to construction. Maps still show it there so it must have been recently torn up

Re: Frontier Airlines News and Discussion Thread - 2022

Frontier posted “Special Announcement Tomorrow” with “New Routes Coming” on their Instagram Story. So far, MacArthur Airport (ISP)’s FB page says one of their carriers is expanding tomorrow.

Re: Breeze Airways - News and Discussion Thread - 2022

Disappointing to not see anything else from ISP. Maybe their thinking is that frontier will retaliate if they add something.

Re: NYC (JFK/EWR/LGA/SWF/HPN/ISP) Aviation Thread - 2022

Does anyone think that ISP could benefit greatly if AA moved their Eagle flights there from PHL to CLT? It'd be a very different profile, but I think the answer's no. Not saying I agree necessarily re ISP but as a matter of comparison AA currently flies 4x CR7 HPN-CLT, 3x CR7 HPN-ORD, and 5x CR7 HP...

Absolutely did the right thing! Ask those passengers if they'd rather be an hour 15 late to where they're going, or dead.

I could see less than daily ATL, BNA, RDU, and a wild card but LAS

I don't know what other folks are finding but after looking around the schedules effective June 5, I'm seeing incredible flight counts on all of SAN's high-frequency routes: SAN-DEN - 7 weekday flts; SAN-LAS - 13 weekday flts; SAN-OAK - 12 weekday flts; SAN-PHX - 11 weekday flts; SAN-SJC - 16 weekd...

Re: Southwest Fleet/Network Thread - 2021

Pretty sad that they’ve cut back ISP significantly, but whatever. Aside from some recent LGA growth, they don’t seem too...

Re: Southwest Fleet/Network Thread - 2021

The Southwest abandonment of ISP continues... MCO still at 1x daily,TPA still at Saturday only, PBI down to Saturday only, FLL appears totally gone

Re: Southwest Fleet/Network Thread - 2021

My Realistic WN ISP Wishlist for this extension:

* Resumation of daily TPA and FLL
* 2-3 dailies to MDW

Data isn't available for the fall yet, but in the summer ISP-BNA had pretty good loads. I know loads aren't always indicative of yields, but nice to see they had good loads.

Re: Virgin Atlantic to announce new US route

Crazy thought, but what about CVG? Strong Delta FF presence, a mid sized city not served by BA, short(er) stage length. decent corporate presence. OTOH, it's probably too big for a 330 or 350 and if the JV wanted to try it, you do that with a DL 752 instead. The other, more sensible idea I've had i...

I have some concern regarding NK at MHT. I know a few reliable sources at the airport, and they have informed me the flights are only carrying 50 people on average.

Re: A new discount carrier at EWR?

I don’t see in the article where it says a new carrier will come to EWR. They could just be giving them to an existing LCC. But, if it is a new LCC, maybe Allegiant will come back to NYC?
