A MIA would be amazing for Caribbean flights

You'd think with all the AA love, we'd get a daily flight to MIA.

It looks like AA is trying to do to OKC what they have done to AUS,and that is to line up a loyalty brand. Not that I expect OKC to get an Admirals Club, but AA definitely has a vision for OKC.
I keep hoping for MIA and at least one of LGA/BOS.

And selfishly I want someone to add New Orleans.

Effective April, AA will return to 3x daily to CLT. This was reduced to 2x to accommodate the new PHL capacity. It’s a good indicator that PHL is doing well and not cannibalizing CLT traffic too much.

On the downside it looks like OKC-LAX is back down to 2x daily, at least on the few dates I checked in January/February.

Balanced by the mainline to PHX. Send the low yield west coast connecting traffic on the airbus to PHX, keep LAX inventory open for higher yield nonstop O&D or int’l connex.

Looks like UPS has been mixing it up (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS734/history/20181221/1033Z/KSDF/KOKC) at OKC lately with 763ERFs, in addition to the usual 300-600Fs.

UA 777-200 just landed from SFO. It’s headed to FLL as what I presume to be an OU charter.

It’s the domestic configuration which seats 364.

Yeah that's likely for the OU football team and staff. Headed to Miami for the Orange Bowl against Alabama. OU frequently charters United for its flights these days. Go Sooners!

On a different note, did United Express' flight to/from EWR become year-round? Seeing the one daily on Flight Aware. Used to be summer-only.

It used to be daily year round but the past 4 years or so it has been suspended from Jan-Apr

Looking at flightaware stats, has Via Air only operated the AUS-OKC flight 3 times this month? Is that true?

Anyone know the reason for the diversion?

Flight was diverted to OKC from LAX-ORD—when they were still west of ABQ.

Planned fuel stop. Inop fuel boost pump at departure time caused a 20K lb weight penalty.

Airport was pretty busy last night/Sunday after midnight, my flight was the last AA in from DFW, but there were others, DT and WN, time I got off and received my baggage, there were quite a few people in the airport.
