I think we may be underestimating the number of people who go to Florida alone. I know that the popular destinations for us West Coasters are Hawaii and Mexico but I know of more and more people who are going to Florida to meet up with family from the East Coast who have condos there etc. The scheduling to Sat. Sun. only tells me that people are just using it as a way to spend their week in Flordia without doing the normal thing of having to route through YYZ in February.</font>

One would think that these fares are fairly low yield and not worth starting service for (AA killed SEA-MIA n/s but AS seems to think they can make a go of it)? Or are the fares so high/A319 so efficient that AC can make money on the route?
