I noticed SFO-ANC showed up on the schedule for next summer yesterday (hey, those Google Flights alerts are good). I know you and I have been asking for that route for a while now, so it's great to see. Many of the other routes showed up in the where do you want AS to fly thread.

The LAX-RDM schedule appears to have a typo.. 8am - 10:39pm? Presumably 10:39am.
or maybe it’s actually a morning departure from RDM? Edit: nope.

AS is really starting to chip away at WN’s dominance of SAN-SJC with the increase to 6 daily departures. They had already upgauged the current 4 departures from E175s to A319s, and the planes are always full in my experience.
Its interesting that they are increasing SAN-BOS to twice daily next year. They recently took the 737-900 off of the route in favor of an A320, so perhaps its performing better now? I need to get to BOS in October and after looking at a few dates, it looks like F is selling pretty well too.
Either way, both of these additions are a win for me. Pretty cool that Spokane, and now Redmond/Bend are accessible non-stop now as well.

Absolutely loving this
With clients in both the Bay Area and LA, and twice-yearly trips to SD, this is going to make life much simpler. Though there will be times that as a segment/mileage hog I may still run up via PDX/SEA.
