If pricing on this route after SXSW is good, this route will make me very happy, as I will probably be doing a number of RDU-AUS-CHI open jaw every 6-7 weeks starting in February. The DL nonstop after SXSW ends will get me an extra 2 hours of sleep instead of connecting on AA via DFW, and if I am DL Plat by then I would hope for either an upgrade or the bulkhead aisle.
