Mar 12, 2020At one a day they were hardly attracting any high fare paying passengers.
Considering it was considered a non rev nirvana flight I'm surprised it lasted this long.
Anyone know where the LGB slot will go to?

This is disappointing. When B6 added this flight, it was primarily due to the significant requests from LGB passengers. We need LGB-ORD (or MDW) flights from LGB... if there were frequencies, passengers would come. What I found myself doing is that when the schedule did not work for my business travel needs, I would still fly LGB-PHX-ORD on US rather than drive to LAX or SNA.
LGB passengers are very loyal to LGB even if it requires a connection... but we really love our non-stop flights.

Seems like B6 is having a tough time at ORD, generally. BOS-ORD was 4x daily in the fall, but now down to 2x daily.
I think going into that market is tough. LAX-CHI is dominated by AA, UA, and WN.
I fly to Chicago a few times a year from BOS, and I find the the B6 flights generally do not align with my schedule, even though I would prefer to take them over the other guys. Despite my preference, I'm not willing to lose a few hours in order to do so.
I suspect others are in the same boat.

The same LGB 'passengers' that bombarded B6 phones to protest a hub coming to LGB?
Sandwiched between two better known airports with a larger selection of service, is LGB destined to become an afterthought the way SJC/OAK have become in recent years? Likely already there?

Spirit runs a modicum schedule in most of its markets and seems content. Granted, they have a vastly different product but essentially go after the same crowd; lower discretionary income fliers who don't fly enough to warrant a legacy FF and network.
ORD has been the LGB pipe dream since Jet America/Presidential Air days.
