^ I believe Southwest is now 3x daily to Denver from OKC while still 2x from Tulsa so that could explain why United has extra capacity. It looks like the 2x weekly service to DEN on Frontier goes to 1x weekly from both airports in March. Bummer.

Leisure travelers will bite at anything to save a few dollars. I think they are a necessary force in today’s market. Affordable travel is the greatest gift to mankind.
Travel is fatal to prejudice. I wish everyone could travel more, especially Oklahomans. I know of people who have never flown on an airplane or left the state other than Texas. There’s so much more to the world than Oklahoma.
Southwest has had 3x daily to DEN for probably 5-6 years now, if not longer.
Speaking of Tulsa, did you guys see that air map that was released last week? They have multiple direct flights into various parts of Florida. Any idea how they can do that if we struggle with that? I’m really curious.
American will go to 4x daily to ORD for the summer. (The OAG thread on a.net shows 5x daily but I believe 5 was a misfile - 4 are presently for sale in GDS)
United seems to have come to its senses.
I’m seeing 6x daily to DEN in June plus the return of a mainline. I’ve never seen UA go to 6 frequencies in this market.
We will lose the mainline to IAH in exchange. No other changes I see.
So 9x daily to Denver on United and Southwest this summer. It looks like I was wrong about Frontier it's now showing 3x/weekly for both OKC and TUL. Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday non-stop service.
Impressive for OKC-DEN, that's nearing the type of frequency to Dallas (DFW & DAL) and Houston (IAH & HOU).
Looks like AA will be increasing daily service to ORD for June,June and August to 5 flights a day on a CRJ-700.
Anyone know the last time AA had 5 flights a day to ORD?
United will have 4 flights a day this summer as well to ORD
I don't think AA/Eagle have ever had 5 flights daily to ORD. AA did have mainline service though, back in the late '90s-early 2000s with F-100s and MD 80s.
May only:
AA will increase OKC-CLT to 3x
AA will increase (extend) OKC-PHX to 2x (mainline will end will be CR9)
Nice to see the increase for May from AA. But, May seems like a weird month to *only* increase service out of OKC on those routes when the following months are just as busy. Right?
United is doubling down on 50 seaters, but not in a way you’d expect:

United will be the launch customer for the CRJ-550, a CRJ-700 (traditional 70 seater) that is configured down to 50 seats. Will include 10 first class seats and a snack bar. Will begin flying this summer from Chicago. I imagine this might be an airplane we will see in OKC.
Decided to switch my SWA DCA flight next Thursday to United so I could get in a little earlier. I was surprised that there was only one daily nonstop to IAD with United. Good time slot though.
Interesting. a -700 that is a 50 seater. I guess there will be some fantastic leg room in these, right?
Correct. A fantastic benefit that doesn’t seem to be getting much attention is all of the storage room inside for carryon bags. Being able to not valet check your bag will be a huge benefit for all (or most) customers. I know a large source of misconnections in the hubs are Express inbounds on minimum connect time itineraries are a result of customers waiting for valet bags. There will be 3 closets on board just for bag storage.
