IMO there are a lot of opportunities for this sort of thing to occur, times when it is easy to sell and fill seats...Bowling for Customers
US Airways has added more than 3,300 seats into the Jacksonville market starting today through next Tuesday in anticipation of heavy travel from the Northeast to the Florida city for Super Bowl XXXIX.
The Philadelphia Eagles will match up with the New England Patriots in the football classic. The capacity boost represents a 34 percent increase year over year, with 1,600 of those seats between Philadelphia and Jacksonville alone.
Compared to last week’s schedule the increase amounts to 13 percent. Part of the increase comes from two special sections each from Jacksonville to both Philadelphia and Boston on Monday, the day after the game.
In addition, 25 mainline jet departures from Charlotte and Philadelphia were upgraded to larger equipment during the period, and four Jacksonville-Charlotte US Airways Express departures were upgraded to mainline jets for travel next Monday and Tuesday. Flights between Reagan Washington National and Jacksonville had been upgraded to mainline equipment in November as part of the company’s Transformation Plan.
Yearly events that come to mind are New Years in New York or Mardi Gras in New Orleans... Any other ideas...?
