When determining "continuing" city pairs does it indicate that there is pax demand (if not strong enough for nonstop service) between those two points. For example, the AUS-DFW-COS flight listed by the OP. Could one assume that there is sufficient traffic between AUS and COS to list this as a one-stop service? Or is it completely random?

AF does this on LYS-SXB-CPH where a LYS-SXB it more expensive than going via SXB to CPH :rolleyes:

My wife and I flew from DFW to JAX for Thanksgiving. The outbound flight was AA1542, ELP-DFW-JAX; the return was AA875, JAX-DFW-SJD.

I'm going to go with completely random. :D

I didn't mean that it absolutely did NOT happen in Europe, just that it was not very common.

Is that right? I thought the more airports you fly in/out of = more taxes :confused:

That's another example of a one-stop flight, like the Air Canada one described above, different to the concept being discussed here.
