Six new Orlando routes
Six new Orlando routes will be loaded this weekend. They are the first to be operated by Mesa, some FF'ers will definitley think that these stretch the limits of CRJ flying. Once they go public, I'll post them here.

Song to add more Florida Routes too
From the Palm Beach Post
Beginning Nov. 1, Song will raise its daily nonstop round-trip flights between JFK and Palm Beach International Airport to four from two, Song President Joanne Smith said. No ticket prices were announced, but the one-way fare now is $69, according to Song's Web site.
To grab a bigger share of passengers from the Northeast, Song plans to add daily flights to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa from New York's JFK and Boston's Logan International.
Song also will begin nonstop service between Orlando and San Francisco and add an additional nonstop flight between Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles. The Orlando-San Francisco flight starts Nov. 4, and the other new flights start Nov. 1.

Song is reducing LaGuardia operations this winter by almost half. PBI/MCO/TPA will be twice daily. FLL will be at 3x daily thanks with a business traveller's schedule of morning/noon/evening departures both ways.

Edit: After looking at an old timetable, I got the idea that some former DLX markets would fit that description, namely MCO-ROC, MCO-BUF, MCO-SYR, MCO-PVD, MCO-ALB and MCO-MCI. Looking forward to see how many I'v got correct .

PVD-MCO and ISP-MCO? Both were former Delta Express routes that were axed with 9/11 (ISP) and with the advent of Song (PVD), and both would be at the extreme end of CRJ flying, but definetely possible...
Of course, there is Southwest on both these routes...

CHA is one of them, as mentioned.
No Providence, and no Kansas City or Islip. The markets that are being added are more along the lines of Chattanooga and Tri-Cities in terms of a "I never though they'd have non-stop service to Florida" reaction.
