I agree that it seems that all direct Europe service is bursting at the seams. Most folks I talk to about their flights all indicate that they run really full. I've heard Paris and France in general is one of the top destinations for Europe from this state. I'd also think that with the connections, we could be an AF feeder from PDX, Boise, Spokane, and even Montana, pretty large population base at that point. And I'd really like to see us get that service over YVR.
I'd be interested about other comments that Luhftansa is thinking of moving from PDX to SEA, are they losing the local PDX money to continue the service?
On a slightly different note, why can't we get Mexicana back in with service to Mexico City? We've had a boom in hispanic population lately. Or maybe time that AS took that service up.
