I second that! Heck, I'd even squeeze into a CRJ or DH4 if necessary! I'm flying out Monday on DL (where I have zero status) from SEA to SLC and dreading every second of it. At least it's a fairly short flight.
Especially with all the winter recreation opportunities in Utah, I'm real surprised AS hasn't jumped all over this market.

I heard on a flight last year that AS might soon be adding service into Salt Lake City. Anyone know when this might happen?</font>

For a long time AS didn't have an easy way to get to SLC with partners, but now that Delta is in the partner group it seems like an opportunity to irritate DL. Of course I thought that going to DFW was a bit silly as well.

I was shocked when we made the decision to fly to DEN. Both DEN and SLC had been on the dart board for years, but it seemed like a ballsy move. Ballsy is not typical Alaska. SLC is the same situation. It’s been a frequent request by customers, and it’s clearly an obvious void on the current AS/QX route map.
