Oh c'mon, time to start LAX/LGB-PSC!

With ~50 daily flights from LAX/LGB-ORD across 4 carriers (UA, AA, Alaska and Spirit), plus 12 LAX/LGB-MWD on Southwest I would be pretty surprised to see this.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jetbl...54.htmlJetBlue
(JBLU) today announced it is advancing its West Coast strategy following its successful Mint® expansion in new markets like San Diego, Las Vegas and Seattle over the past year. The latest series of network enhancements is designed to better meet the needs of coast-to-coast travelers facing limited competition and – with the most legroom in coach, unlimited free snacks and complimentary Fly-Fi high-speed Internet, live television and movies – plays to JetBlue’s strength as a favorite choice for transcontinental travel.The enhancements bring a number of schedule changes in 2018:
Get Onboard in Ontario, Calif.JetBlue will expand its L.A.-metro service with new nonstop flights between Ontario International Airport (ONT) and New York’s John F.

Service begins September 5, 2018 and Ontario will be the 73rd nonstop JetBlue destination from New York-JFK. Seats are on sale today starting at $99 one way (a).Ontario International Airport will become the tenth airport served in California by JetBlue and serves some six million people in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, as well as portions of Orange and Los Angeles counties. The Inland Empire has become one of the fastest growing metro areas in Southern California due to its affordable home prices, new construction, and a growing nightlife and cultural scene. The San Bernardino-Riverside-Ontario metro area is on track to grow by some two million people over the next three decades and Ontario International Airport has demonstrated it is committed to supporting that growth."The question we get most often is ‘when might JetBlue come to Ontario?’ So we are thrilled to say that that day has come," said Alan D. Wapner, president, Ontario International Airport Authority. "JetBlue's confidence in ONT as a gateway airport able to provide first-rate facilities and services is well-placed. We promise we won't let them down.”JetBlue previously served Ontario between 2000 and 2008 and is returning a decade later, encouraged by the surge in customer demand in the Inland Empire, as well as the airport’s leadership position on smart growth in Southern California.

Excited about BOS-BUR, although I wished that it was with MINT...

I'm so glad they restored the daytime flights between JFK and BUR.
I'd like to see them do JFK to BZN. |
I know there's plenty of competition on Greater L.A.-DEN, but I'm surprised HDN is the first Colorado location from LGB.

runway is the main issue for transcon from SNA. If they order C Series, that would make a lot of these transcons more viable, since A320s just struggle to get across the country with the shorter runways and in winter time.
|
I sure wish ORD was more than an afterthought on the B6 network.
|
Anyone know if its confirm that ONT will be part of the LA Area in terms of co-terminals?
LAX/BUR/LGB/(ONT)?? Thanks in advance (sorry in advanced if i missed this elsewhere) |

Decent gate space is hard to come by, much like at LAX. That might get better after the major construction project, but that'll be a while.

I was disappointed to not see more flights from LAS in the announcement. Southwest obviously has a tight grip on things here, and now AS too, but as more of a "real destination" than some place like LGB, I have hopes that B6 could expand here.

That turn at Bozeman appears to be very short. Does anyone know if it's actually the same plane going back?
|
I can't imagine they'd have spare aircraft in BZN.
|
Yeah, I can't imagine them keeping an aircraft sitting around doing nothing at BZN either since it's not a daily route. Apparently 40 minute turns are doable.
Right now I'm looking at trying to get on the inaugurals, and the prices are not pretty. I'm booked on BOS-JFK-ONT. I'm looking at Bozeman and Steamboat Springs, and... YIKES! I'll probably pay it anyway, but I'd be paying over $1000 to sit in an economy seat just to get onto two inaugurals (I'll probably do BOS-LGB-BZN-LGB-FLL, stay a night in FLL, then FLL-HDN-BOS to save time) What can I say? I'm a glutton for inaugurals. |

Maybe they will get one more gate after the ORD makeover. Also, I heard they tried to get a second gate, but the schedule they put in wasn't deemed to be enough. My guess is they are at the point where 1 gate is too squeezed, but they are not ready to add enough flight to fully utilize 2 gates. I think it will happen though. If the recent BOS adds go well, they maybe willing to add a couple of more flights next year and have a second gate.
As I said in my previous post, when I flew in last month, they were using 3 gates at once which I've never seen before. I've seen them use 2 but never 3. I really do hope they make this work at some point soon. It's such a pain to have to fly WN or someone else if I'm connecting from Chicago. |

I'm on the Bozeman inaugural now. They've done a schedule change. It's now at least two and a half hours on the ground.
|
Only for inaugural
The 5pm departure time is the one-time only schedule change to accomodate the festivities for the inaugural flights.
It will go back to 3:12 pm departure time on Sunday. It is actually fairly typical for the short turnaround time and I have a feeling that catering is all done here in LGB. They just do a tidy-up. Carfield |
Looks like the second (morning) LGB/BOS pairing is ending in early March. My morning return flight in June was canceled and they put me on the prior night's flight, I got them to switch me to the flight the night I was originally traveling on instead. That would have been my preference but it was much more expensive when I booked a month or so ago.
Between my wife and me we've been on 4 full LGB/BOS flights in the past 8 days, so I'm not sure why the cutback unless seasonal loads enter the equation. Hope they bring the second flight back in the fall! |
That's unfortunate. I hope they don't pull the same stunt with LGB-JFK. They have 2-3 daily flights depending on the time of year.
I noticed on one of my recent trips that Delta has already taken over Gate 1 at LGB which is on the JetBlue side of the terminal. |
I've never had a gate lower than 6 for JetBlue at LGB, and usually at "gates" 9, 10, and 11, which are all just long walks along the tarmac. I usually see Southwest and AA around gates 1 thru 4 or so, which are the gates to your left after security

Hoping for BUR expansion with LGB being cut back!
BUR-FLL, more BUR-JFK, maybe even BUR-AUS, and not going to happen fantasy of BUR-IAD. |
