All of the DEN/STL/BNA/ATL stuff makes sense.

I was shocked to see BNA - SNA non stop beginning in November.

Yes, they have 3 daily nonstop flights from LGB-PHX and once daily LGB-AUS.

PHX-MEM once daily nonstop flight, too.

Not seeing Saturday direct flights between BWI and LIR even though the press release says they resume on Nov. 9. Does Southwest usually take some time to put the seasonal flights up?

On the other hand, just booked flights to South Florida from the Mid West for Thanksgiving week and they were surprisingly cheap compared to last year.
Same here

I think this is reasonable, I would much prefer them to post it 3-4 weeks prior instead of changing it multiple times like they have had to on the past year because of COVID and MAX. The longer they wait to post it the better it is for us as I rarely have firm travel plans more than 3 months out

iirc south florida was one of the harder hit areas by covid plus I'm sure a large number of regular cruisers are going to be slow to come back.

Fll international routes

Due to covid 19 there is no daily nonstop fll to cun until mid December, fll to mbj until mid December, no fll to nassaua nonstop through 1/4, no fll to Belize, no fll to punta cana through 1/4. As a result this is causing some of these fll connections to route through bwi and its driving up the cost substantially.

Yes, they did. They cut the flights. They cannot handle it anymore. The route is no longer serves FLL-LAS/RDU. JetBlue has done very well. It will take time to come back.

Wow! It'll be very disappointed. Longer you wait. They will be back. They couldn't have enough profitable. Due to low demands.

From what I could tell they are going conservative and perhaps can add as demand increases. Also looks like theyre using the same schedule daily now. International adds appear to be conservative as well. Not a good extension for FLL to say the least. The following dont return as of now: BZE, BDL, MKE, PHL, ISP, PLS, GCM, NAS, HAV, PUJ, SJO, RDU, and all formally weekend only destinations. LAS is not in this update but usually stops in the winter.

with frontier out of FLL for now there is Currently no service this holiday season on FLL-ISP. Let that sink in for a minute.

Right! They pulling out of FLL completely. They tried and it did not work well. Due to low demand.

Thankfully they brought back plenty of PBI-ISP service. For once times and schedules are good between PBI and ISP. Plenty of nonstop flights.

Yes, they did. F9 announced it already. But Frontier is no longer FLL-ISP. They tried and it did not work.

I'm looking to book a trip to CUN for Spring Break March 2021. Obviously waiting on the schedule to open up. Any buzz about them potentially cutting down flights to this location? There is typically at least one direct flight from STL to CUN each day (both ways) and I'm hoping that continues!
