We've also taken the occasional Monday early morning flight.
Now, flights are midday or late evening on Friday and morning or midday on Sundays. The earliest Monday morning flight leaves after 9am.
Is this a temporary shift, or something permanent as AS refocuses to other markets? Just starting to wonder if I need to start looking at other airports and carriers...
Thanks!
BUR is one of those markets that seems to be being picked up by AS mainline, but my guess is that the scheduling is timed to fill-in gaps with the SEA-BUR flights. If the price isn't much higher, I always look for PDX-SEA-BUR combos since you end up getting an extra 500+ EQMs with minimal extra time spent getting there.
