How are loads? I don't know anyone who is back to flying this route. This flight needs to be a few hours earlier, it would be the perfect flight for connections to Europe, landing at 730pm is simply too late for most Europe connections Seems like there are a pretty good amount 930 and later. Starin...

Anyone know anything about Sushi Kodawari going in at 2100 central?

Honest question....does anything materialize out of this outside of expanded bus service? It seems like a mammoth lift to do anything more - with costs, counties, funding mechanisms, etc. A new revenue source -- rather than pretending you can use the existing ones, which already pay for citywide bu...

Honest question....does anything materialize out of this outside of expanded bus service? It seems like a mammoth lift to do anything more - with costs, counties, funding mechanisms, etc. Granted I took this only once but LAX's set up was fairly convenient and easy: https://www.flylax.com/flyaway-bus

Something to monitor, this is from the station manager at MCI for UAL: https://twitter.com/mitchelldonise/status/1667349151070208001?s=61&t=x6MyJsefqV5H_GE3Wh2qhw Not sure what else they could add here. The rumored Maintenance base is my hope. Would be great to get jobs and see some widebodies....

I think that moat airports want to see the airlines get completely back on track, with pilot and employee shortages and equipment shortages, it could take a couple years to rebound. Getting TATL may take some time as well, especially when airlines are strapped and cannot add additional frequencies ...

Air Canada updated their schedule. Toronto is suspended starting Oct 29 until at least April. Edit: it still does start up for the summer next month though. This baffles me…for the longest time, pre pandemic, you could take the CR2 up to Toronto and it was a staple for a long time. Since the pandem...

That same posters seems to say that BA focus will be back to re-adding service to international destinations that were cut during Covid. Specifically asia That is likely true. KC is not only competing against the Indy’s but the rest of the world as well. Limited aircraft, slot restrictions, pilot s...

(for those that don't know, b6 means jetblue) This thread could due with a lot less jargon. Looking up all these TLA's is tiresome. Here are some more acronym definitions: CDG - Paris DeGaulle Airport CVG- Cincinnati CUN - Cancun AMS- Amsterdam PDX - Portland RDU - Raleigh Durham AA - American DL -...

Something I want to see is if American will push back in this market. Both have big hubs close DL is adding more frequencies, has a lounge, has leased an additional gate and has hinted KC as a potential a focus city. AA on the other hand is reducing flights and bailed on adding an Admirals Lounge. ...

Something I want to see is if American will push back in this market. Both have big hubs close AA has such a strange history in KC. They have tried to add non “major” hub routes like NYC, LAX and AUS over the past 20 years but most don’t stick, however, in terms of total passenger count out of MCI ...

Delta seat count (at least for June 2022) MCI is now the largest (non-hub/non-focus city) station for Delta in the Midwest. We might move up a spot or two this year as DL is planning to add more frequencies. https://i.imgur.com/iZ4LMhs.png Interesting data. I know that DL will run all 757s on ATL t...

AA reducing N/S from MCI-LGA to 1/day (from 2) starting in August.

In other news, JetBlue loads for Feb are out (granted a weak travel month)

MCI-BOS: 47%
MCI-JFK: 48%

Ouch.

Met a few different persons this week traveling back to Asia and Europe from KCI following Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting. These are staff from very big firms, traveling on company paid business class tickets, but still choosing MCI over OMA. That’s interesting. I can’t imagine the price diffe...

In other, less exciting news, Chase is replacing the old Bank of America in Brookside. It also appears they are clearing out the Panera space too, not sure what the plan might be….searching compass I found a permit pulled https://compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService/#/permit/b1f1df8d-fcbd-44...

American drops to 1/X per day from May-August to LGA. Not ideal. Sometimes I wonder how long this route will stay around. It’s come and gone several times. I’m guessing delta and southwest are sucking up most passengers. Over on airliners.net the suspicion is that it may have something to do with t...
