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...
Jump to postI could have sworn LAX was 125+ daily departures, but hasn’t come close since COVID. I think you are right. It was that high at one time. Pretty sure I saw numbers in the 120s.

Jump to postWhere is the extra room for the added seats coming from--I love the Lawn Chair description. Where did Southwest find the people to test the new seats/interior.

Jump to postGot it, I will only say this, WN received additional gates/concourse in PHX in the last 1-2 years and has yet to expand service even though they took over the new concourse. With that being said, it doesn't mean operations will expand rapidly, I think WN just likes knowing they have the option even...
Jump to postSorry I dont know the gate situation at BNA, does WN have 29 gates? If so that means they are looking to grow from 29 - 39 correct? They have 20 at the moment, they’ll add another 9 once Concourse A is reconstructed come 2027/2028. But I’ve often said they need around 40 to realize their full poten...
Jump to postMost of their -700s are in their late teens or early twenties. They could probably get another 10 ish years of reliable use out of them. I would expect Boeing to cover the cost of the unplanned extra heavy MX checks. I don't think there will be any issue with the MAX 8 physically not being able to ...
Jump to postCorrect, WN has no business thinking outside of the CONUS at the moment. They can't even run the network they have. Does someone want to tell KCaviator they already operate outside of the CONUS? You are twisting words... KCaviator did not insinuate that Southwest doesn't operate internationally. If...

Jump to postCompetition is good. However, if the disappearance of Spirit results in F9 becoming a better airline nationally with more services at CLE I'd support that.

Jump to postAs a COS myself I think this is absolutely ludicrous. I completely understand and appreciate the 1 extra seat but a row is ridiculous. Not only is that lost revenue but it also makes non reving even more difficult.
Jump to postSo BNA once again thinks we are total idiots. To improve “traffic congestion” for the holidays they have decided out of the goodness of their heart to “reduce parking rates” in the garages to get people off the roads while waiting to pick people up. Here are the new “reduced” rates: 0-30 minutes - F...

Little odd of a route.
What is G4’s strategy here? I thought they weren’t doing so well on some routes. Yet, they keep building up.
Usually, y'all is spoken, not written. But getting back on topic, I wouldn't call this a tiny announcement. It shows Frontier is making a huge commitment to CLE and the region. If it results in TATL service, that will be a bonus. And once again what does it have to do with the current discussion at...
Jump to postSouthern charm indeed.

Jump to postIt still blows my mind that they didn’t put any MAX 9’s or 10’s on this order. Perhaps there’s language in the agreement that allows for possible type conversions.
