Celebrate CLT-CDG

[28L_or_10R?]

Saturday 40% not counting non-revs. Nearly full.

Just from the days you've posted, seems to be a 30% or better average. Any idea how that compares to the PHL-CDG flight?

I have been watching dicussions on this website and have wondered. Are these percentages OD percentages on each flight.

 

[BoeingBoy]

Yes, although I'm not sure it's for both the outbound and return flights or just the outbound flight (although they should be the same over time).

Not necessarily they could be leaving on different days and coming back on the same days. Those are great OD numbers for Clt though i wonder it will become a route like phl-mad was for so long 762 during winter 333 during summer.

Looked a couple of times at PHL-CDG but not enough to find a mean. Maybe I'll check that.

Haven't looked at CDG-CLT.

That's why I said that over time. If someone returns a week from tomorrow instead of tomorrow, it changes the O&D percentage for those specific flights (decreasing tomorrows but increasing the one a week from tomorrow) but not the average for a longer period. In other words, over time everyone that travels one way travels the other way (excepting the very few that only travel one way). If the average outbound O&D for 12 months is 30%, the average inbound O&D for the same 12 months will be 30%.

I guess that in theory O&D passengers could depart CLT on US and return on LH or other *A carrier, resulting in 0% O&D on the inbound flight, but it's just as likely that they could depart on LH and return on US, resulting in 0% O&D on the outbound flight. In the real world, those that use one carrier outbound and another inbound probably offset each other.

at a glance i don't think it is performing as well.

How is this flight performing in the past few weeks.
