Yes, they will be based in PHF. They will fly to PBI, MSY, ATL, EWR, BOS, PIE & PIT, as well. Hopefully they will growth more. They will offer connections. They will have 2 737-400 by ex-Vision Airlines. Later on, they will bring more specific new routes.

extremely excited for PEOPLExpress. However, im scratching my head. Why PHF as a hub? I dont see a hub there. Focus City, yes, defiantely. They are going after the right markets and have the data on BOS, EWR (LGA data, same market, get over it) and ATL, so they have numbers and expectations on those. PIT i feel is there due to their talks of building up presence there, and believe me PIT has opportunity. PIE, MSY, etc are Vacation hotspots, and will all perform well. They will get off the ground hopefully, and we may have a new airline in town. I think we all wish them the best, as its scary the number of mergers and closing in recent years.

It would help them to survive if their website weren't a disaster. The "Find Flight" button sometimes disappears, the calendar sometimes doesn't let you select dates even when you're viewing months that should have flights available, and for less-than-daily flights the dates with flights are displayed on the wrong days of the week.

But why are we talking about this in the F9 forum? Let's hustle over to "Other North and South American Airlines" and start a PEX thread!

Was at the airport today flying back home on WN. Here are my observations on Frontier at CLE.

No Frontier Planes
Ticket counter no agents or passengers
Look like 1 gate on the A concourse

I thought all the new flights started early June. Not even sure of the exact schedule I know flights do not operate daily.

None of the new flights start until the end of this week - Friday.

I do wonder if F9 will start PHF-MDW maybe just as PEX considers to add it. Back on CLE, I think PEX adding PIT-PHF might get some CLE pax who will drive to PIT, so it does dim the value of CLE-PHF on F9 starting up.

Just booked my Dad and I on a RDU-CLE flight next week. It's the second day they're flying (Tuesday the 17th) and it's only $38.99. Should be fun.

PVD
 

Although it would require a new station opening, I wonder if PVD-CLE would be worthwhile?

Maybe it'd offer PVD-RDU, PVD-CVG, PVD-DFW, PVD-IAH, PVD-DEN at about 4-6x weekly just to be news in the PVD market if it's going through the effort of a new station opening. Spirit opened in MCI without Florida service, although it offered LAS. So maybe one destinational/fun location would be LAS also. From PVD, fleet usage would be more intense however given the region's more remote location relative to the center of the country.

From PVD's wikipedia page, PVD lacks year round nonstop service to these 5-7 regions/airports and F9 has presence at all airports.

I'm not sure how it'd play out in CLE, as Southwest offers CLE-BWI-BOS/PVD/MHT but I think those seeking very low fares and convenience of nonstop could do CLE-PVD and rent car to BOS. It maybe preferable than putting miles on personal car to drive, park and fly out CAK to get on Southwest's CAK-BOS.

It would be nice if CLE-TTN was expanded. I noticed that it turns to an early AM flight and F9 is offering TTN-CLE-DEN via connection. TTN-RDU is very early morning. I do wonder if ILG-CLE and ILG-RDU could co-exist with the TTN offerings, especially if timed during the afternoon. A friend wanted to fly to RDU and I suggested Frontier to save money. However, the flight times were totally incompatible. I've looked to fly to CLE and found the same issue. It works for some, but a few more flights added might not over saturate the supply of seats.

Pdx-cle would work since UA is no longer on the route.
