Nerd Birds and Bulgaria Make Our List of New Airline Routes

August 6, 2010 at 12:11 PM | by | Comments (0)

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we’ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.

· Southwest Airlines:
The biggest new route news of the week is from Southwest Airlines. They are launching new flights between Phoenix and Ft. Lauderdale, but don’t worry, there’s also something a little more exciting than that. Twice daily roundtrips between San Jose and Austin start up on November 7, which means it’s time to welcome the country’s newest “nerd bird” just in time for the holidays. There’s also new nonstop service between St. Louis and Seattle as well as between Baltimore and Los Angeles. However, we just can’t get enough of new nerd bird service.

· Alaska Airlines:
If you don’t want to test out the new tech-friendly flight linking San Jose with Austin, but you still want to get the hell out of Silicon Valley, there’s an option on Alaska Airlines. The airline is beginning nonstop service to Cabo San Lucas on November 20, so we’re thinking 2010 might be a good year to skip the turkey in favor of some tacos. The flight will run on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

· Delta:
Delta seems to be pretty busy lately building up their domestic network. Last week we saw all kinds of newbie routes from Washington, DC, but this week’s focus turns towards the Big Apple. New York’s JFK will see new nonstop service to Orange County beginning September 7. Even though reality television has seemed to leave the OC in the dust, there’s still awesome beaches, great weather, and of course very expensive Disneyland tickets.

· American Airlines:
If you need an escape to the big city, American Airlines has got you covered. They’re adding three new trips to JFK on their American Eagle regional jets starting November 18. Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Norfolk are all getting the new nonstop routes, which will be handy for a weekend trip or for one of those snazzy new JetBlue connection opportunities.

· Ryanair:
We didn’t realize that Bulgaria was the next great ski destination, but Ryanair did and they’re starting new service to spread the word. Beginning in November, the low cost carrier will initiate service between London-Stansted airport and Plovdiv. The flights will operate just twice per week at first, but this should give plenty of opportunity to check out resorts in Bansko and Pamparovo.
