Is there a real demand between SEA and XNA? I am just wondering, especially AS has 0 flights to Asia. Will AS' Asian carrier partners that flies into SEA like CX, HU, and KE provide enough feed to sustain the SEA to XNA route? I assume TPAC flights are what drive the linkage between XNA and west coast cities, but I could be wrong.

Its probably a WalMart corporate contract. I dont see an airline where every destination east of the Mississippi is a spoke doing well competing for that business.

XNA was recently rated by US News as the 4th best place to live in the country.

There may be some speculative element here that they're hoping for.

I would love a XNA-SEA with AS since I live in Bentonville and my mom lives in Seattle. Would make our 2-3 flights a year between the two much more convenient.
