FALL 2010--AND THE HOLIDAYS--NOW FOR SALE!

Today we opened for sale our November, December, and early January (2011) schedules for sale.  This includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.  Let the holiday booking frenzy begin! Oh no, ho-ho-ho, c'mon, kids, let's pack and go!

We have numerous frequency changes in this schedule (many of which are seasonal).  They're reflective of the softened demand we experience in the Fall.  (See attached PDF file)  We've also optimized a separate "peak-schedule" schedule--adding back flights on the days that we know will be busier than the norm, like the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  In fact, we're using that schedule on 13 days through this schedule period, which means this schedule development effort was almost like two schedules within one!  And of course we're scheduling everything we can on those "bigger-'n-big" days--the Sundays after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's--which are our busiest days of the whole year!

This is a complicated schedule change--and a big shout-out to all the Schedule Teams that pieced this amazingly complicated puzzle together!   

Let me know if y'all have questions....and happy booking!
