I flew TUS-PHX on an HP CRJ-900 in 2006. Amusingly, I'd driven down from Phoenix the night before (a rare time when flying from Tucson was cheaper than Phoenix) so I retraced my route back.

I've done this route roughly 30 times, unfortunately. Definitely never on anything bigger than a CRJ, though.

When I lived in PHX, I flew down to TUS on a US CRJ-900 to visit a friend. Was faster and cheaper than driving (I worked for US at the time).

I've taken this route a handful of times as a kid. I remember 737s on it.

CPH-FOE and TOS-LYR are quite exotic, but typically fully booked. My almost-empty flights were WAW-BZG, LCY-DND, VIE-KIV, and TIA-MXP.

This is cheating slightly, but:

SIN-PQC is now booked. The route is just starting, and I won't actually fly it until February, but I'll wager no FTer has done it yet...

I flew this as a turnaround on a UA 72S, Nov 1983 (one of my first mileage/segment runs: SEA-DEN-PHX-TUS/TUS-PHX-SFO/SFO-LAX-LAS // LAS-LAX-SFO-SEA)

United kept it as a tag-on flight into the mid-2000's. I was always amused seeing "Tucson" on the departure boards at PHX Terminal 2. The flight went IAD-PHX-TUS but you could book just PHX-TUS if you wanted. UA eventually dropped it and ran a nonstop IAD-TUS but then they dropped that too
