Interesting. They started with Airbuses but quickly pulled back to E175.
That's a lot of incremental seats to fill with no onward connectivity at the DAL end... |

While this does not apply to me, it does mean that upgrade chances for those eligible do DOWN.
Even more so with AS which has fewer FC seats on 737 than UA, where this has been discussed (u/g chances) quite a bit in a couple of threads. |

Upgrades on the DAL-SEA afternoon flight have been getting harder to come by recently. More elites are catching on to this option for Dallas. |

One of those AS to WN connectors / and AA Award tickets out of DAL
I'm glad to see more variety in size of AS aircraft coming to DAL. I'm actually one of those AS to WN connectors as oftentimes its cheaper than the AA/AS codeshare. It's sometimes slightly more than taking WN all the way (though not always), but while WN is great for short haul flights, I try to avoid 4 hour flights on them.
Incidentally, for the first time earlier this week, I noticed AA was allowing me to use AA miles to buy AA award tickets on AS flights out of DAL!!! I don't know if this has been around awhile (I've never noticed it before). Usually AA has this hex on anything related to DAL, so I was quite surprised they have this set up in their award ticket system. ^ |
Glad to see AS upgauging DAL ^
No restriction (aside from finding saver space) for using AA miles on AS ex-DAL. |

I can't imagine WN wanting to code-share with anyone

I just noticed starting in May that the morning SEA-DAL and afternoon DAL-SEA has switched to a mainline 737... yay!
Loads have been solid recently, which is good for the Winter. IMHO, the A319 was the perfect size. I hope they can make a 738 work. |
When I flew the A319 it was pretty sparse especially with elites. I usually had the exit row all to myself and only 1 or 2 in the white seats. Those were the good ole days although I was cursing every time I could not get an F upgrade at the time and they were empty. They are filling the E175s now but I think the 737 may be light but I will take it!
They could easily fill more SEA-DFW flights if they had another DFW gate! |

I have booked a flight early next month SEA-DAL then connecting to a WN flight to a smaller city in Texas. The total fare is much less than AS-AA codeshare or AS-AA separate tIckets via DFW. This is my first time flying into DAL and I look forward to this experience! |

DAL is a nice new terminal. Food is typical airport fast food and the main sit down place is pricey (like Anthony's at SEATAC). ...
