Labor Day weekend must have shaken the cobwebs out of the schedule planning groups, because we continue to see a whole slew of new routes coming out.

  • First up is Northwest’s new service between Grand Rapids (Michigan) and New York/LaGuardia airport. That’ll be one lonely daily flight each way on a 50 seat CRJ starting Nov 1.
  • Northwest also announced a big bump in flights from Indianapolis. There will now be a fourth daily flight to New York/LaGuardia, a second daily flight to Ft Lauderdale, and a second daily flight to Tampa starting Nov 1. On Oct 1, Orlando gets a second daily flight. And for the winter season (Jan 3 to Apr 30), Ft Myers will get a second daily flight.
  • Allegiant continues its string of random cities that sound like they should be somewhere with new three times weekly flights between Orlando/Sanford and Fayettville (North Carolina) starting Nov 7. Yeah, that’s North Carolina, not Arkansas.

    While I know they no longer exist since their merger with Delta, Northwest was the one airline I absolutely refused to fly with since they just seemed completely incapable of having a flight that was on time.

    Airlines can do just about anything they want to these days. Nothing surprises me when it comes to airline scheduling.

    What I’ve never understood is why of all the new routes that come about, I never find one that I’d actually prefer to take. I hate connecting flights!
