Austin Nerds May No Longer Know The Way To San Jose

Since 1992 American Airlines has been shuttling smarty pants Silicon Valley workers between San Jose and Austin. However, due to the overall decline in travel the so-called “Nerd Bird” route is coming to an end. American plans to shut down the two daily non-stop flights effective August 25.

For those that use this route and love American Airlines, you’ll still be able to get between the two cities. Moving forward, you’ll just be forced to spend a little bit of extra time connecting somewhere like Dallas-Ft. Worth.

If you enjoy a little rental car fun, you can always fly into Oakland or San Francisco and drive yourself up to Silicon Valley. We’re thinking that the displaced nerds will start filling up the Austin to San Francisco flights on JetBlue; after all, they’ve got the SciFi channel.
