Right. Very different demographic. Much more business travel in and out of AUS, especially tech. Only international flights out of SAT are to Mexico. AUS has Mexico plus Canada, LHR (2x per day), AMS, and FRA.

The AUS airport infrastructure is already so over capacity cramming in a few more flights won't be noticed.
