New GSP-LGA flights

AA is starting new service between GSP and LGA. This should get a lot of interest, as only Delta has direct flights now between the two airports.

In a way this is a resumption of service. US used to serve LGA-GSP back in the day.

Does the PANYNJ have a new board member who lives close to LGA and has a horse farm in SC?

GSPs market area is about a million people. There is plenty of demand for this flight. As pointed out above, US served it, and AA did in the past as well (US, AA and DL all did at the same time, plus UA to EWR).

GSP is a great small airport and it even has CLEAR.

My one concern for these flights is what happens in case of a change in plans or IRROPS; if you connect through Charlotte, its easy to switch to another flight, but switching between the two GSP-LGA flights is pretty limited.

Yes, I think youre right. The flights to GSP are there because of market demand rather than being uneconomic ones to placate someone.
