Right or wrong ORD is a low yield blood bath between AA/UA and WN at MDW... Delta avoids it wherever it can.

I'd second MSP-GSO as this would be beyond 750 miles (MSP-GSO is 923 miles) and it would at least mean being able to avoid the 50 seat RJs based on DL's internal policy of not using the 50 seaters on routes longer than 750 miles. From the West Coast, I always go via ATL to GSO because DTW is mostly 50 seat CRJs to GSO. I'm sure this factors into DL's calculations about MSP-GSO though.

I'd be happy to see SAT-CVG (DL just brought back AUS-CVG at least, so I will have that option once I move to the SAT area).

Other routes I wouldn't mind seeing:
DTW-HNL
ATL-OGG
SLC-CMH
SEA-CMH
SEA-SAT
DTW-VPS
A non-redeye for SEA-CVG and a more reasonable departure than 7 am for CVG-SEA.

Just somewhere out west(ish). Stopping in ATL to get to OAK, SAN, or SEA kinda sucks. I'd much rather stop somewhere closer to the middle of the country. LAX or SEA would be fantastic, but not going to happen.
This gets my vote....they run A321 out of GSP to ATL....send one of these to SLC. Twice a day.

It actually makes a lot of sense to me. I rarely pay more than $60 OW for this ticket on UA/AA. Will continue to fly UA on this route as I credit 100% of miles flown to Amtrak on this super cheap fare.

PVD-MSP. Sick and tired of connecting in Detroit or ATL when they switch PVD-DTW to 2x a day...

JFK /ATL - GVA . Only Star Alliance has nonstops from the US to GVA, SWISS is not bad, but the only other option is UA
