KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Will be interesting to see if Spirit can make them work after JetBlue couldn’t. Really hope they can make it work.

Lower price helps. No interline hurts.

Flying Spirit also hurts

NK adding daily NYC(Newark) and BOS from KCI. I believe this will more than replace the capacity lost when B6 pulled out.

Hardly a 1 for 1 replacement though. tired of being serviced by budget airlines. Even though jet blue probably is classified as budget it's definitely was better than Spirit.

Jet Blue for Spirit is a down grade in quality. Total seats will increase. On time and operational performance will probably IMPROVE with this change.


Delta (already announced) adding a 2nd daily JFK flight this summer. Last week they changed it to upgrade the flight to a nicer airplane so theres that.

Southwest starting Columbus is another spoke that will help fill connecting traffic. Might take this route for a weekend trip. The announcement that Cabo is going 4x weekly is no surprise given how well that route is doing
