Hi! , anybody in the know with regards to how the AUS flights are going? Got 500000 points to burn and thinking of a trip early next year. Don't want to book on a route likely to disappear! Fancy something a bit different!
I took the second flight on that route from LHR.
Crew said the uptake had been good. Apparently, it's strategically important for DL. BA and Lufthansa have a slot there at about the same time as VS. BA (A350) flight was full and Lufthansa (A330) looked super busy.
I expect it'll stick around. Lots of tech companies are moving to Austin so there should be lots of crossover with people who used to fly SFO.
Of course, nobody knows for sure except the revenue team, but I reckon it's here to stay.
