I’m not aware of any alignments between NAI or LCCs in the US. However, travelers are becoming savvy consumers. With that said with an IPad, Smart Phone, or computer, travelers can access websites to find the lowest fares for onwards travel from their US gateways. I do have to say that there are times that the Legacy Carriers Redeaux have lower fares that their LCC counterparts.
Same is applicable for U.S. pax traveling overseas too.
