772 lax/phx
Just thought it was really interesting/cool there is a daily 772 to Phoenix. Began I think yesterday and shows for today, tomorrow & Monday. Has to be for extra capacity for the SB. I'm about to book it for tomorrow. I guess on such a short flight this is not one of those times I have to do my nightly prayer to get the B/E & not the god awful Zodiacs.

Still neat to see a widebody on the route, but there are so many potential issues, including all the delays that can happen with widebodies due to mechanical issues or other operational delays if coming from a prior INTL destination, etc.

Sounds like a nightmare for in-flight service… I foresee lots of turbulence-related service interruptions and “due to the short duration of the flight today” announcements, even for J. It’s such a big cabin for that duration. You’ll be lucky to get even one drink/snack in the air.

Takes me back 20+ years to my one super bowl. It was in Tampa and we had to fly to Orlando and drive. Booked a roach motel I would never have stayed in under any other circumstances- for $350 per night. We stayed until Tuesday for flights- and the room rate went down to the $69 where it belonged for the last night. My team lost (NYG), but still had a great time including Monday at an empty Busch Gardens (beer and rollercoasters 
)

Non rev can be ppl using miles to buy it in F or employees right or is there a distinction ? My last few 321T flights had so many employees in F. Cool to see a 321T to PHX though.

yes I think you’re right. But however it’s sold it just seems always so many employees upfront on that plane. Must have been 5 of 7 were employees last week to Jfk.

5 flights a day?? That’s not enough!! They still have more than 8 flights a day. The flights are always full everyday and still have more demands! Lots of people who have connections flights from LAX. Too many people are going next overseas flight. They needed more flights!
