New Service from PHL-LAS-PHL in Feb

[TransatlanticFlyGuy]

Looks like we are gonna fill the seats of National between PHL-LAS-PHL come Feb. 4 flights a day in both directions. Even a 5:20pm departure out of LAS sched to arrive in PHL at 12:45am. Hope their is enough local traffic to keep this late flight going.

I hope there is enough traffic also for this route. Especially when you consider this is a low yield market. Sad to see N7 fail, but if it keeps U going in the right direction, then sometimes the weak must die.

******** that make me hope U is out of bx by Jan 1. U is just as weak as N7 was, just a bigger airline - but still nothing more than a regional airline.

This thread was doing well. Lets return to the original topic.

Its great to get some additional service instead of the cutbacks we have been seeing lately. I wonder what the loads were like on National?

Does US have spare aircraft for the additional flights or will they bring a few out of the sand?

Has anyone seen any publicity or press releases related to this?


Have a great holiday everyone,

Havnt seen anything in the press at this time concerning the 2 new flights PHL-LAS. According to the Feburary Flight Attendant Trip Pairings both flights will be operated using 757 aircraft. Not sure what routs they are being pulled off of. Im guessing PHL-SFO...all these are being flown by A321 if im correct.

 

[nycbusdriver]

The timetables posted on the USAirways.com website show 4 round trips PHL-LAS beginning February 9th using 757 aircraft.

 

[JayBrian]

If I'm not mistaken it looks like all the flights into LAS from PHL, PIT and CLT are 757s. Commonality and efficiency, could this have been planned?
