I was checking the NW online ticketing system and it looks like IND-SFO returns May 2nd and remains in the system until at least 12/31/07. Unless NW changes their mind it looks as if SFO is back permanently. Will they eventually keep SEA year round? What about CUN to combat F9?

I could see SEA possibly going year round, but I'm not so sure about CUN.

I'd like to see the offseason service to SFO. I'm going there next month and have to connect. No other choice.

Also both LAX flights are on the schedule through the end of the year.

Never can tell with NW. It would be nice to see it. I'd like to see them keep SEA as year round since SEA has good O/D plus its a NW jumping point to Japan I believe and Hawaii.

Does it have that kind of range? That is a LONG flight.

IND-SAN is 1782 miles. That is 2868km. The standard E-195 won't make it but the rest will.

I didn't look to see if it was discussed in another thread, but I can only assume this is because AirTran's also got this flight in the system.

Some of the prices are as low as $210 roundtrip. Indy to San Francisco, in this day and age ... that's a damn good price.

Los Angeles returns, too, except one roundtrip daily.

Ok now they are back to LAX becoming 1x daily in the fall and SFO as seasonal. I wish they could make up their minds. Not sure why they are playing games with these non seasonal destinations. Seems they are playing games because of the AirTran schedules.
