The last thing we need are more Chads coming here in their tOSU alternate jersey and backward caps saying New Or-LEENZ. The ex gump frat star is my best friend next to that douche.

Just for everyone's knowledge these flights are booking at $39 each way so if you have a weekend trip planned within the southeast I'd take a look at these flights.



Hell at that price, it might be worth it for me to just make the hour drive to Charleston and fly to Huntsville to visit family instead of driving six hours.

Another airline ignoring the Austin to New Orleans route. No way that should need a connection.

American and Southwest already fly Austin-MSY nonstop. Why would a new carrier fly a route with competition? Need to build market share first then go after other routes

Looks like Tampa is the hub from that map


Look again. They both have the same amount of routes.

Is this going to be a RyanAir-Spirit-Frontier type of low budget airline or closer to JetBlue?

I sure hope it’s run better than those. Even at $39 one-way, I won’t go near it if it’s anything like Spirit.

There's no need for New Orleans to be a hub for Southwest with Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Orlando close by.

I'm interested to see how this airline does. It looks like it's a bunch of one day flights at crazy times so we'll see...

No thanks. Sounds like a one way ticket to a deadly plane crash in the Atchafalaya Spillway

The Charleston direct is way overdue.


Agreed. My mom is from Charleston so this will be great for my wife and I to bring our kids to see family more often.

Knock off budget airlines have huge maintenance cost cutting problems.

Why the heck wouldn't they do directs to San Antonio and Tampa??


Because Southwest already has nonstops to those cities from MSY.

That's not a route map for people living in New Orleans. That's a route map for bringing people TO New Orleans.
