Why can't WN fly to cities like Asuncion or Kaohsiung?
 
I'm sure there's enough demand to fill a 737-700 for a US bound flight from secondary cities like Asuncion, Paraguay or Kaohsiung, Republic of China (Taiwan) or Douala, Cameroun. Why not! :D

Asuncion via Georgetown, Guyana to Houston Hobby or Fort Lauderdale
Kaohsiung via Sapporo, Japan and Anchorage to Chicago Midway or Oakland
Douala via Barcelona and Keflavik to Providence or Islip

Let me have boarding pass A32! And give me my 1 bag of peanuts and a snack box with Ritz crackers and Wheat Thins! :rolleyes:

Send your job application to Bill Owen at Southwest Airlines. And don't hold your breath.

Seriously, each city needs a critical mass of flights to make the numbers work. San Juan, PR? No problem. But spoke cities that only connect to the network via one hub are not compatible with Southwest's business model.

On second thought, ATA once started a flight from JFK (I think it was JFK) to Belfast to Riga on a 757. Neither the flight nor ATA are still around. :eek:

Southwest can create a new business model.
