Any news on the LIS, ARN and MXP routes

I came up with a new name for what I feel is Economy Plus (used by UAL) Call it Super Economy or Enhanced Economy.

🙄 🙄 🙄 That would be GREAT, but who will make it happen? Tempe unbranded all of US and came up with the mishmosh of new paint scheme and heritage logo. Nice enough, but certainly not a trend setter or competive edge. Unfortunate that Tempe just doesnt have any class...thats when a co must hire and outside firm to do the job. They waste money on many other "crappy" things, spent it where it will make the difference. Can U say M A R K E T I N G...LOL!

Airtran calls it Business Class--when people here business class rather than FC, they should know that it is not a product comparable to other carrier's FC. But, you know what LCC#1, it's not a bad idea to sell it as Enhanced Economy--bet you would sell more tickets with that name--business travelers would buy tickets because their clients and companies would not see an F fare.f Obviously, the fare would have to be reduced to levels lower than the UA or AA or DL fares (even lower than QUP or YUP fares that the other carriers offer). It probably could be a little more than the Airtran biz ticket price because US currently offers more amenities in FC than Airtran in my opinion--not much, but some. Maybe they should even charge the same as Airtran and try to win over Airtran customers.

I always said that they should get creative with the fare codes so that people could purchase seats in FC and still submit them.

Once US defines who they are, they will be in a better position with their customer base and financial state.

My point exactly...better to surprise a customer when the word "economy" is put in than diasappoint when they see what they get with the word "First Class"

I can't list the exact cities, or I will lose my source. Watch for new service that includes:

757 service will be initiated for two existing seasonal destinations, and a third new one all in West Europe.

767's used on the existing routes will be used to initiate service to 2 brand new destinations (one in North Europe, and one in South Europe).

The delivery of these 3 757's will allow US to round out the number of European destinations served to total 16 with the May schedule.
