San Antonio-we used to do, but I would think we would do very well there.
I would love Anchorage. We could definitely snag customers from Alaska Airlines...seems like Southwest is already beating Alaska up on the west cost/Hawaii and we can go in for some more punches.
that would be wild. I’d love to give that a shot.
Quito- yeah! Why not...jet blue does it out of FLL so can we.
no real opinion, jungle flying is jungle flying to me. As long as it makes money
lubbock-ehh probably not big enough but then again some other small cities we serve surprises me.
approaching 300,000 people and the university is close to 40,000. LBB-IAH could be good. DFW MIGHT read too short of a flight but Southwest was doing love out of there for a while. Maybe still? Also had a Vegas flight for a while IIRC and DEN
Salt Lake City- the airport is about to finish expansion. I think we would give a whack at it once it’s complete.
I have been hearing this one a lot and it’s probably the most sensible of all that you mentioned.
maybe more tropical destinations because that is where everyone is flocking to... Liberia, Costa Rica.... Port of Spain, Cozumel???

Oh I love mindless rumors.
1. Management said a couple town-halls ago that they definitely want to see Anchorage, as they see it as a high-yield seasonal route with high fares.
2. LAX is a MX base and has more flying than ORD, DFW, DTW, BWI, ACY, EWR, or ATL. In fact, IIRC the only three cities we do more departures per day out of (this July) are FLL, MCO, and LAS— and a big percentage of LAS flying is to support LAX. I heard from a good source that NK was considering a LAX crew base pre-covid, not BWI. I would bet that ANY additional gates in LAX would mean a crew base. I’m sure it’s expensive but so is X hotel rooms a night.
3. Apparently someone in the Allegiant training department is telling people there that ALGT has already bought spirit but can’t spill the beans because of the covid money
just some ideas
