Where to next? After FLL (change from MIA) and PHL today, there are few markets with the capacity to support a daily 738 from SEA. The following shows the markets with the most O&D demand from Seattle that AS does not yet serve*.

Unless they begin DL markets like DTW and MEM (doubtful), I only see 4-5 more routes that are viable in both yield and traffic. Those markets are in green below. I sorted this by my guesses for which routes will come first.

After those markets in green below, my guess is a little more Hawaii, more North South on the west coast, and hopefully a new focus city or expansion of PDX/SJC!!

Would like to hear your thoughts- obviously there is more that goes into this than just SEA O&D (though if you look at past announcements, they're basically just running down the list).

*Passengers per day each way (so double the number for total traffic both ways). I did not include FLL or BWI because the DOT numbers seemed very skewed and perhaps innacurate (50 PDEW for FLL and 1000 PDEW for BWI). Fare numbers are averages for those carriers currently carrying traffic on those routes.
