Great news!

For those younger cruisers and those who have alot of patience...... Was speaking to SW representative this morning and kiddingly said, I need you to fly into southeastern Canada! She said that actually that is in the works! In the next two years they will hopefully get all things into place and will be flying to Hawaii. Then within 5 years(yes awhile!:() they will hopefully be flying into Canada!

So hope I will still be able to do cruising then, but is nice to know at least that it is in the planning and works stage with SW!

Pooh

Not holding my breath. They have been "hoping" to go to Hawaii for over 10 years.

Has WN even taken delivery of a Max 8 yet?

I know they just got rid of their 300's after 33 years this weekend so it should be soon but you just don't get a new plane and fly off to Hawaii the next day.

Technically they don't need the Max 8. They could do the route from California with 738 or 739, both of which they already have, IIRC.

Yep. Went mechanical on only its second flight.
