So how much service is required to sustain a BR presence? Both OGG and SJC have seen increases to flights to those destinations and neither have a lounge available for use by a partner. Do they meet the requirements or is there not enough revenue there justify it?
Dunno. Ask RASMguy.
The thing about OGG is it's Hawaii (read:leisure destination with few biz pax, no connecting traffic- two of the major reasons to have a lounge). Why would you stay in a BR when you could spend time in Hawaii outside of the airport during your vacation? Is the soup really THAT good?
SJC makes marginally more sense (though there still isn't likely to be much connecting traffic- where would you connect to or from an AS flight in SJC instead of PDX/SEA?), but they are still finishing up their terminal remodel. Maybe someone should poke around and see if there's someplace where a BR could go...
