US Global Routes Suggestions

Hey Guys! Global is right around the corner. Just like everyone, I am pretty excited. This is sort of an ad don to @Overspeed topic. Except this is limited to the US and are routes that only take around 1-2 hours to do.

I have done some research on google flights. If your like me, you like to stick to realism. Many routes right now in IF are regional routes operated by regional airlines and regional aircraft. tbh regional aircraft doesn’t really give you the thrill of flight😂. But now global will expand that possibility. I found a lot flights that are operated by major airlines with wide body and narrow body aircraft that only takes about 1-2 hours to complete. (These routes connect major airports) I won’t be including regional airlines, regional aircraft, cargo aircraft and aircraft that doesn’t exist in IF.

This is perfect if your like me and still in school, we don’t have a lot of time on weekdays to fly. Or you just want a quick flight ;0.

hahahaha opps. Im know for having bad spelling:)

Southwest doesn’t operate out of IAH…it did at one time but it hasn’t since 2005. All Southwest operations in Houston are at Houston Hobby Airport (KHOU). You did get the Love Field (KDAL) part correct. 🙂

Indianapolis to Chicago(ORD)

That route is a bit too close ;) It is designed for regional airlines and aircraft lmfao;)

A week ago I saw a China airlines 747-400 flying over head for some reason flying from LAX To SFO

Hahaha lol. Maybe it was a China Airlines Cargo which flies unusual routes. Or they were just transferring aircraft :)

San Juan, PR (TJSJ) to St. Croix (TSTX) and St. Thomas (TSTT). jetBlue flies these routes.

What about KORD-KSTL or KMCO-KORD or KMCO-KSTL

Incorrect ICAO right there.
It’s either KMCO for Orlando Int’l or KSFB for Orlando - Sanford.

How about a couple smaller airports?

  • KBBG (Branson, Missouri) - KMDW (Chicago Midway, Illinois), Southwest flies that route

  • KHDN (Hayden, Colorado) - KEWR (Newark, New Jersey), United

  • KJAN (Jackson, Alabama) - KDCA (Washington National, Virginia), American (Eagle)
