Increasingly fly on the PBI/EWR run instead of MCO. Have never seen a 757-2. Extremely hard to get an Upgrade even with an RPU. Buy ups are king here. FC is nothing special.

MCO is a maintenance base for the 752's, so you see them rotate through MCO quite often. In fact, there's usually one or two almost every day.

I've also caught them to TPA - not sure about FLL or PBI though, but I think the Florida routes tend to get the 752's as they're great "fillers" between international segments. Fairly short, busy routes and a great way to keep the fleet utilization up.

Yeah, they fly then EWR-Florida and back when it fits their downtime between TATL routes. MCO has the mx base, but a lot of them do straight turns or just RON in Florida so theoretically they could go anywhere.

About five years ago I flew an int'l 757-200 EWR-PBI with lie-flat seats.
