See ABQ and SLC. Former WN connecting points, now....not so much.

If WN couldn't make LAS work I don't think PHX would be any better year-round, although maybe there's some PHX seasonality that could work 3-4 months a year.

Also, how many BDL passengers were transferring in LAS?

Curious when this dinosaur of an airline will join the 20th century and offer red-eyes which would drastically improve economics in a market like this.

While BDL-LAS couldn't work, I could see BDL-PHX working, along with WN adding BDL-BNA....
