New thread for what will hopefully be a record-breaking pax year at WRWA.

manifesting OKC-CUN nonstop.
So other than Cancun, what's on our wishlist for this year?
PHL?
BOS?
SW returning OKC-DAL?
PDX?
Something in the Bay area (SFO, OAK, SJC)?
I'd like to see the restart of routes removed. Delta to Detroit. United to Newark and San Francisco.
New routes: It would be cool to see Delta add service to Austin since they're trying to pick up what American is leaving. Something new from their pretty new gates here.
I’d love to see Boston and more Delta service in general.
PHL on AA, SFO on United or Alaska, BOS on Delta or Jetblue, EWR on United, someone to somewhere in Mexico for a seasonal service.
I have a hunch when they announce the rebrand of the airport they will announce a few routes.
PHL very possible on AA - all hubs would be covered, and is another option for East Coast and trans-Atlantic connections
BOS - unlikely unless Delta adds it
DAL - unlikely
PDX - possible with Alaska
SFO - likely as United builds back up their hub there - possibly OAK on SW
Boston, please!!!
I would love to see restoration of pre-lockdown routes as mentioned above, plus
WN to OAK and LAX (a nonstop WN flight to somewhere in CA is long overdue)
DL or AA to BOS (1xE170/175 service similar to LGA would work, I would think)
AS to PDX (again 1xE170/175 service to start just as they did with SEA should work)
I second Damonsmuz's thoughts -- need UA to resume SFO and IAD badly.
is there any international flights currently? also nonstop to Cleveland, OH
I like John Wayne. Always have. Easy to get in and out of.
My list:
RESTORATIONS:
OKC-BWI on WN
OKC-IAD on UA
OKC-SFO on UA
OKC-LAX on UA
OKC-DET on DL
OKC-PHL on AA (isn't this being restored)
OKC-MCI on WN
OKC-ABQ
OKC-MSY on WN
OKC-MEM
OKC-OAK on WN
OKC-SAN
OKC-ICT (would this, regional type flight work?)
OKC-COS
NEW:
OKC-PDX on AS
OKC-BOS on DL
OKC-MKE on Spirit
OKC-HNL on AS (direct via SEA or PDX is fine)
OKC-MEX
OKC-CAN
OKC-MTY
OKC-YYZ
OKC-Orange County on WN
These dont all need to be dailies, esp the international. Having a weekly flight or two internationally is quite common. Also, I'd be fine with some of the WN flights being direct just like there are several WN flights into OKC that direct elsewhere (it'd be nice if the pax could deplane, which would add to our numbers).
OKC actually has a very nice route system, but the restoration of all of the hubs and pax numbers at 5 million per year is a given to me for 2024.
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
Growth is limited without new routes, more frequencies, and larger planes. I truly hope there is work going on behind the scenes to get more routes. And also figure out how to lower prices. OKC is, for some reason, a lot more expensive than a lot of airports in their size range. Not sure why.
I mostly fly American, but this past week I flew Delta through Atlanta (side note: gosh, I hate ATL). I have to think Delta does plan on adding more flights in OKC. I flew out on the 6:00 AM flight, which was full, and the busiest time at the airport. Yet, Delta was unbelievably overstaffed. Sure, it was nice from a customer service standpoint. But if I was a shareholder, I would question their management skills. They had way too many people at the ticket counter and gate. Either they are content to be spending too much money on payroll in OKC, or they plan on adding flights that their existing staff can handle.
Interestingly enough, Delta is adding a second daily OKC-LGA flight in the summer, meaning there will now be four daily round trips to NYC (2 on AA, 2 on DL).
It's loaded on delta.com. Looks like a morning and early afternoon departure. Mixed between a EMB-175 and crj-900
Nice!
