The A330 on PHL-SJU is moved to a different Caribbean destination during Summer 2008.

Who cares!!!

The Bahama Islands are also in the Atlantic Ocean and nowhere near the Caribbean Sea.

Unless you consider San Salvador & Great Inagua (spelling?) in the Caribbean since they're closer to Haiti / Dominican Republic than Nassau/New Providence

Too bad US never went to ZSA... very beautiful island!

Do you know how to read a map? Ever try actually looking at one?

With your logic, Seattle is in Canada because it's so close.

BDA is way closer to PHL than SJU. It's almost due east of PHL. Only about 600 miles away, I think. Not even a two hour flight.

 

[Travelpro72]

Couldn't that aircraft be better utilized somewhere else? Oh never mind, I know who we're dealing with.

 

[FWAAA]

That sure does sound exciting.

Perhaps now is the time to begin planning the ORD-CLT-PHX-LAS-PHL-BDA trip to capture some of that excitement.

 

[rsv4ever]

Has BDA ever seen an US Airways A333?

when we first got the A330s they used to do 1 day trips to BDA and MIA...

 

[whlinder]

BDA is considered to be part of the Caribbean in the data definitions that drive fares and fare rules.

Last time I checked the North Atlantic is not the Caribbean:

Bermuda (officially, The Bermuda Islands or The Somers Isles) is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. Located off the east coast of the United States, it is situated around 1770 km (1,100 mi) northeast of Miami, Florida and 1350 km (840 mi) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1030 km (640 mi) west-northwest. It is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by England a century before the Acts of Union that created the British Empire.

Bermuda is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, roughly 580 nautical miles (1070 km, 670 mi) east-southeast of Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and roughly 590 nautical miles (1100 km, 690 mi) southeast of Martha's Vineyard (see map). It has 103 km (64 mi) of coastline. There are two incorporated municipalities in Bermuda: the City of Hamilton and the Town of St. George. Bermuda is divided into various "Parishes", in which there are some localities called "villages", such as Flatts Village, Tucker's Town and Somerset Village.

Although Bermuda's latitude is similar to that of Savannah, Georgia, the subtropical climate of Bermuda is warmed by the nearby Gulf Stream. The climate is humid and, as a result, the summertime heat index can be high, even though mid-August temperatures rarely exceed 30°C (86°F). Winters are mild, with average daytime temperatures in January and February around 20°C (68°F), although the occasional Atlantic winter storms can produce powerful winds and heavy rain, with the "apparent air temperature" feeling like 5°C (40°F), even though the actual temperature rarely drops below 10°C (50°F).

The only source of fresh water in Bermuda is rainfall, which is collected on roofs and catchments (or drawn from underground lenses) and stored in tanks. Each dwelling usually has at least one of these tanks forming part of its foundation.

[700UW]

Since when does a fare rule supercede geography and the facts?

 

[Travelpro72]

Oh who the hell cares already. Everyone has to be so p!ss!n literal. Ohhhhh it's freezing outside. "No it's not thirty two degrees". I mean really. Who cares where Bermuda is. If you ask me the Bermuda Traiangle has moved to Arizona. Couldn't we use the A330 to a west coast city? I guess it wouldn't get back for European flights.

 

[700UW]

Use to have a 767 that overnighted in LAX came to CLT then to FRA or LGW numerous years back and the inbound from Europe went back to LAX from CLT.

US does not have enough widebodies to do that anymore.

Usually only one or two overnight in PHL for mtc requirements, no spares.

 

[YVINTERN]

That's what made me post this thread. I'm wondering, what happened to that deal. Hopefully it isn't back to AA like it used to be! Didn't check AA scheds, but is there an AA wide body flying PHL-SJU during June/July/Aug? The A333 seems to be back around late Sep. and definitely in the scheds during all of October and for the remainder of 2008(as far as we can see from today by 330 days).

Just e-mail your corporate contact at travis.christ@usairways.com...I'm sure he's willing and ready to spill his intimate details to you Kingy.

And who the FXXX cares? This is the dumbest topic I have seen on this board - and there are certainly man stupid things on this board!
