SEA pax can sit around for a couple hours on the ground in SEA waiting for their ground delay in SFO to lift or fly to IAH and seamlessly connect to anywhere South and East.

The flying experience for pax out of EWR and SFO is miserable and it’s only going to get worse. There is no space for expansion over there while IAH is almost unlimited.

IAD is also a great place to connect for those on the east coast.
