MSP-SGF - I go to Springfield/Branson so often for work, but no direct flight from MSP - takes 6-8 hours of my time to fly there with connections - I could drive there in just about the same amount of time :0

MCO-LAS and MCO-MSY.

I would also like to see MCO-LAS, MCO-DFW and MCO-ORD.

A non-stop from SLC to anywhere in Asia. Hoping the joint venture eventually gives us SLC-ICN, although DL doesn't have a good plane for it.

In general I'd love to see a nonstop from SFO to Europe on DL metal.

Yeah BOS-ORD, like ORD-LAX would require 4-5x daily to work, and even then DL would be fighting for scraps. There are better places for DL to use that mainline equipment, and that's why those routes won't happen.

Wasn't DTW-MAD a summer season route a few years ago?

JFK-NRT

although it seems like JFK-ICN would be more likely w/ JV.

Is this seasonal? I am thinking of moving near there and will be flying hard for my last year before retirement. I need and SLC-ELP connection for work. Thanks in advance.
