North American new service JFK-BWI
Can't believe I beat Phil to post this, and I had to read it twice to believe it, but apparently, North American will be offering service between JFK and BWI 4 days of the week starting 11/15. Not sure if it's 757 or 767 (as illustrated) but must be one of the shortest routes flown by type. Anyone up for an NYCA field trip?

Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
It'd be great to see a 767 other than BA into BWI. Maybe NA should lease back some of their 738's? Seems like overkill to send a 767 or 757.
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
is this happening because they're positioning the airplane down there anyway?
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
Hopefully our resident NAA employee will have more details, but while these flights don't appear on the schedule at flynaa.com, it can be gleaned from the flight numbers that these are a segment of the 767 service to LOS and ACC which are shown as one-stop from BWI and nonstop from JFK. Currently it seems that NAA operates an aircraft (sometimes 75 others 76) on certain days of the week between JFK and BWI but presumably that is a positioning on which tickets are not sold. Flying time per FlightAware is a whopping 30 minutes and it's done at under 20,000ft.

If I am remembering correctly, World Airways operated scheduled service between EWR and BWI for a brief time in the 1980s - with DC-10s.

Guess it's in the booking engine but not on the schedule page where it would show aircraft type:

Still only shows GEO, ACC and LOS as winter destinations from JFK

JFK-BWI is not bookable.
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
Tommy, according to the email link in my initial post, which I received today, it's bookable from 11/15. Introductory fares ($89 o/w) as well as terms and conditions are shown in the initial link.
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
It's bookable... I checked for January '08 and it allowed me to book (but I didn't)

Then NAA's website isn't working because I can't book it. $89 one way is a rip off for BWI, you can fly WN for 39 bucks one way half the time from ISP. Plus B6/US/and DL offer lower fares a good deal of the time to DCA and IAD. I guess NA is trying to fill some seats but I can't see anyone booking JFK-BWI on NAA.
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
I put in dates for November earlier today and it didn't allow me to select anything, so I went back and reread the announcement, sure enough says 11/15, days, times, fare, etc. but anyway tried December and some choices came up like Matt said they did for January. Tried November again just now and it came up, starting 11/15 etc.

As I figured, I'll be able to see them over my house. Woo hoo
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
If I recall it is because the ACC flight is now routed JFK-BWI-ACC.
Re: North American new service JFK-BWI
It's actually BWI-JFK-ACC.
