Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Hardly a 1 for 1 replacement though. tired of being serviced by budget airlines. Even though jet blue probably is classified as budget it's definitely was better than Spirit.
Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Jet Blue for Spirit is a down grade in quality. Total seats will increase. On time and operational performance will probably IMPROVE with this change.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:29 pmHardly a 1 for 1 replacement though. tired of being serviced by budget airlines.

Delta (already announced) adding a 2nd daily JFK flight this summer. Last week they changed it to upgrade the flight to a nicer airplane so theres that.
Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Southwest starting Columbus is another spoke that will help fill connecting traffic. Might take this route for a weekend trip. The announcement that Cabo is going 4x weekly is no surprise given how well that route is doing

Mayor meeting with the President of UA again this week. Mayor or City Manager meet with UA senior execs and staff every few months, at least publicly more than any other airline.langosta wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 7:20 pm From Justin Meyer

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
^ I thought a United Lounge was coming to KC?
Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Nope?¿ both lounge spaces are claimed
Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
I feel like MCI needs more flights to places other than hubs. Making everybody fly through Chicago is not ideal. Having that many flights a day to hubs and increasing those flights doesn't really help KC that much. The DCA addition is nice though.langosta wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 7:20 pm From Justin Meyer

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments
Any particular destinations come to mind? For a city the size of KC, the N/S coverage is pretty good - all things considered.GRID wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 1:17 pmI feel like MCI needs more flights to places other than hubs.
