Well, we know the (apparently) new focus city - 3 new longhauls in a relatively short timespan.

Ironically, I have flown SAN-BOS on AS twice...connecting in PDX and SEA respectively. Although I probably won't utilize this flight, it's certainly a nice addition.

I also find it interesting that QX flies SJC-LAX but not SJC-SAN. Wonder if SJC-SAN might be added in the future?

Glad to see AS expanding in SAN--just wish they had done it 5 years earlier! Lotta BIS miles on Southwest in the interim...

What does the "NO LOCAL TRAFFIC" line in each flight mean? Does that mean that these can only be sold as a through, BOS-LIH flight? That seems completely nonsensical.

The remark will be removed once reservation is open.

Good to see more transcons, seeing that San-dca didnt get the slot exemption, wonder if they'd consider San-iad

I doubt they'd open up a station again for a single IAD flight. I do wonder what kind of QX feed that they are thinking of for SAN, if any.

Now I just need a boardroom in SAN or an arrangement with the United Club in T1.

They currently have Santa Rosa, Monterey and Fresno from SAN on QX. I have to believe that they are looking at some other additions via QX. Only time will tell...

Oh, that's not good. They didn't get it. Oh well!

AS has already 3 transcons flight from SAN-MCO/DCA or IAD and now this. Maybe AS will have reconsider SAN-DCA again, if necessary. If they gets more slots. What's next? Maybe FLL, ATL, EWR or someplace else.

If they don't have one in SJC, I doubt they'll have one in SAN.

Speaking of which, it looks like AS has two focus cities in CA: SJC and SAN.
