Flew to Grand Rapids for a client.

Okay, so they will see you as an MSP connection then, so they have no problem sending you through there instead. I have noticed they have upgauged the MSP flight since the DTW flight went away. Used to be on an CRJ and now I think it is on an EJet albeit still only one flight in each direction per day.

August is out. Great month. Everyone up a pretty sizeable amount sans allegiant https://flyokc.com/sites/default/fil...nplanement.pdf

I wonder if we will break our record this year? I think is was 4.4mil+ in 2019.

MKE is seeing about 2 million more passengers a year than OKC. Omaha is seeing about half a million more passengers than OKC each year.

And I bet a good chunk of those 2 million more pax into MKE are coming from Chicago. Hence my post and question.

Interesting to see the Deplanements bigger than the Enplanements. Appears to support net-migration into OKC, no?

While that is plausible, probably do not want to go entirely off this set of data. There are some quirks in peoples travel patterns that can also produce this, such as December tends to have more departures than arrivals, then January has more arrivals than departures.

I think some of this is people departing near the end of the month then return in the beginning of the next month.

Yep. Labor day was on the 2nd so could account for the difference.

Or arrive at DFW and leave from OKC. I've done this several times.

[HOT ROD]

it's every month, not just Aug.

dont you mean arrive in OKC, depart in DFW (deplanements are higher in OKC).

I've done both ways over the years.

[HOT ROD]

just curious the reason? Price, Offerability?

Im sure it's not "I hate OKC".

I guess it could be worse. Granted they still have solid connectivity leftover.

I wish Southwest would add a second daily AUS flight. It was nice having two daily options when AA was also flying the route.

Speaking of flights to Central Texas, when did Southwest end daily flights to SAT? I don’t see any nonstops showing up on the schedule

[Richard at Remax]

I was looking the other day and in mid march there are nonstops every day except Saturday.
