The problem is that AUS-Japan is a relatively weaker market. In the 2011 Brookings data, which are way out of date absolutely but probably not far off relatively, TYO accounted for only about 14 percent of AUS' East Asia demand, or 2.5 times less than SEL did and about the same as PVG and TPE. Sinc...
Jump to postA year ago I’d have told you that BA’s performance at BNA suggested that BNA was close to or at the point where it could support a second legacy TATL flight. Based on the priorities of their respective US carriers I’d have expected Skyteam, although I suppose I would have said the same thing about ...
Jump to postThe 747 hasn't even been around AUS for too long so not much to get sad or nosologic over. It just makes me thankful that our town got some service, albeit for just a little bit.
Jump to postWhat was the last AA P2P out of AUS? I can't remember when the SNA service was relative to AA's last attempt at the Nerd Bird but it has been a very long time.
Jump to postDoes anyone know what this WN 737-300 was doing coming in and out of MIA? I caught the approach from my place in Edgewater and am intrigued as to what it was doing here. Looks like it came up, flew to Lake Okeechobee, and returned. Can't find the inbound/outbound flight... https://flightaware.com/li...

Definitely not what I would have guessed for Austin's next international destination, but WS definitely going to be welcomed!
Jump to postWow, I love the idea. Gonna be a pain in the butt to build the new terminal on the spot of the current parking garage 1 but It's the right move to rebuild a larger, centralized terminal space and then have the subsequent concourses. Allows for (relatively) smoother expansion and a more efficient des...
Jump to postOkay, since we're all doing this, I guess... how 'bout the airport 1200 miles southwest that has been rumored for DL TATL service for a while now?!
Jump to postGate renumbering is underway! The old gate 25 is now gate 34. Looks like they are starting with the high to low number and working their way down. Will be interested to see the rate in which they complete the renumbering. https://twitter.com/AUStinAirport/status/1024473380102254592 Looks like the f...

For connecting...UA: DEN, AA: DFW, DL: ATL What do they have in common? Big, sprawling airports that use size to its advantage. Plenty of runways and gate space...well-thought-out for the connection experience, the design of easy-to-nav terminals, investment in solid peoplemover systems, etc. All (m...
Jump to postAUS is rapidly getting to its limit. Must be one of the most "full" non-hub/focus city airports in the country. It's been very well documented here (see: DL expansion talks) its current and future capacity. (Wait, did I just accidentally bring up AUS and hub status in yet another thread? S...
Jump to postSlightly off topic, but is there an alternative to how AA and UA would expand from AUS other than adding frequencies or upgauging from expanding hubs (basically adding just seats)? Basically what would make a stop at one of their hubs more favorable over perhaps a nonstop with DL? I guess upgauging...
Jump to postSo I have plenty experience with WN AUS-CUN and boy is it a far superior product than the other airlines. When I booked my tix for my family's trip to Akumal (hour drive south of CUN) in August, I looked at WN and UA nonstops: - WN was roughly $200 cheaper per person (buying for 6 seats) - Departure...
Jump to postI'll hit on the two airports I fly the most out of... AUS Predictions: - DL will launch AMS - DL will claim two-thirds of the new expansion gates - WN will add a new int'l service, maybe MEX? - B6 will expand gates to increase frequency to places like MCO & FLL, using extra gate space to have mo...
Jump to postSo I have been thinking about the AUS expansion for a while now, and finally decided to sit down and hash out my ideas of who would get what gates. I have no insider info, but I am applying some basic logic to predict the new gate distribution: DL +4 (as discussed on this thread), WN +3 (largest ca...
Jump to postOnce on the AA RDU-LHR flight, the pilot referred to it as the "Pharma Flight" (or maybe stylized as the "Pharma Phlight")
Jump to postAUS and MSY are just apples and oranges when it comes to TALT. I bet we see BA go daily plus another european legacy carrier before we sniff a 747.
(and contrary to what my name says, I've been a proud new orleanian for four years now!)
Great post. I am not sure I understand the gate numbering, if the middle BLACK gate is 1.what is the first BLACK gate on the back side? Thanks Yeah, it's confusing as hell. Let me try to this..if you start with the leftmost black gate and go right/clockwise, this is my numbering: 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2...

Jump to postThe obvious next destination should be Tokyo IMO. As an Austinite, let me tell you that it is hard to fathom the demand for travel here. And not just low-rent travel, but corporate high yield travel. JAL or ANA are obvious candidates with a 789 or something along those lines. I personally believe t...
Jump to post(First time posting so apologies if my terminology or formatting is not up to standards!) So I've been seeing various threads speculating the next service expansion to Austin, but wanted to centralize the discussion here! From what I can find, it looks like these are the next steps people think we m...
