Most popular VS Routes

Good Morning,

Does anyone have any data on which VS routes are the most popular in terms of passenger volumes throughout the year?

I'd personally be really interested to know.

If anyone knows i.e. the top 3 or could point me in the right direction, i'd really appreciate it.

(EDIT: If actual data is not available as it may be priviledged, does anyone have any anecdotal info or thoughts?) |:)

Thanks,

Luke :D

Without any data, I'd guess Orlando, then New York, followed by Los Angeles.

My guess too based on the number of flights to each of these destinations

Depends what you call a route, MCO in peak season may have five high config 747s, but they're from LGW, MAN, and GLA, so that's three routes not one.

New York is two routes (LHR-EWR, and LHR-JFK)

Then there are times in off season when only one or two planes fly to MCO whereas for most of the year there are four flights to JFK.

So while LGW-MCO and LHR-JFK are close, IMO, I wouldn't know which is ahead.

Followed by LHR-LAX.

Id say LAS must be pretty popular as it started with only a couple of weekly flights then made its way up to daily. Now there is also a flight from MAN. Same goes for BGI.
