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

Is anyone else having troubles booking or changing flights in the newly released window? I seem to be getting the dreaded "We are currently unable to complete your request due to an undefined error" message. - I booked a few flights in June but no luck past July 4. Is it just me?

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 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.

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.
