PHX seeing more wide bodies this winter
Looks like PHX is finally getting more domestic woidebodies this winter. Used to be just one a day from PHL or CLT but now we have them from MIA, DFW etc starting in Nov. Great!

Only MIA is new. DFW/CLT/PHL/ORD saw widebodies in the winter on a regular basis in the past. I doubt PHL will see a WB flight to PHX in the near future given how much AA has cut down the PHL hub, so not as much connectivity/trunk traffic through PHL nowadays.

Looks like its only HNL and MIA from PHX this year with some random DFW flights.
MIA will see a ton of domestic WB flights this winter. The other hubs not so much. PHL will not see a single domestic WB flight outside from odd flights. Shows how much relevance the PHL hub has lost in the AA network.

So just the holidays. PHX is a big December through February destination for me. Great hiking and weather. (Florida has the weather but other than TPA not the hiking). Alas most of the winter will be the 321neo luxury liner.

I thought there was a "shortage of wide bodies" to service lucrative long-haul destinations? Now there's an abundance at low-yield PHX? Is there not even a more lucrative domestic destination, versus the WN capital of America?
