Ah, ok. I was checking the weekdays, and nothing was showing up.

AA doesn't seem to realize there is a west coast of Florida. The single JFK-TPA CR9 was pathetic and then they even cut that a few years ago.

Lack of RSW/TPA non-stops are a part of what got me cheating on AA with DL in the first place.

Dang. Still waiting for my nonstop CMH-LGA. I was hoping with the shuttering of CAK, we would pick up their LGA nonstop.

I am experiencing the same issue trying to book a few flights for June. Called in and was told it is due to the new res system. Had to complete the bookings over the phone.

It is completely worth it even if you have to drive from CMH. The museum is massive and they just opened a new wing which contains the presidential and R&D planes.

As a warning it is difficult to get done in one day. Although I would always recommend visiting some of the Wright Brothers sites around town as well if you have time.

We talk a lot about all of the possible new routes, but speculation for routes that will discontinued? I am a bit surprised to see how STL-MCI still have 4 daily flights at a minimum of $127 or $137 a pop (used to be at least $40 cheaper 4+ years ago). I have flown it before, and the trip to there was full, but the return had only 12 people on it...

Although I feel like such discussions would be more appropriate for the next (fall) schedule thread.

I believe that they only submitted their application to start flying today and that while its tentatively scheduled for June 4 it's not actually loaded yet.

Right, not yet. They have wait for an approved from DOT. So please be patient.

Seems like it ended in May 2015, so I guess technically "years," but thanks for the heads-up. Sorry I never got to fly out of CAK (or DAY) on WN.

I flew DEN-DAY and DAY-MCO-DAY when they still existed. It is a nice small and easy airport to fly to or from. I have actually been driving to CMH lately for more nonstop options (LAS, RSW, BOS, BWI/DCA, PHX) even though I am much closer to DAY. Probably part of the reason they are pulling out.

WN next schedule extension February 23 for September 29, 2017
 
The next schedule extension is on February 23, 2017 for September 29, 2017.

Any new route, new international routes, and new city, as well. Any small city will closed?

I don't expect anything major. All 737-300s have to exit the fleet by then in order to bring the MAXes into the fleet. It will temporarily reduce their fleet size a little bit in September.

I'd guess more non-daily flights, maybe more international out of HOU or FLL. HOU-GCM, FLL-PUJ come to mind as missing from existing destinations they serve. WN also applied for more HOU-MEX flights but the MEX slots won't be awarded in time for this schedule release.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 5:41 pm.
