Question for Southwest pilot

[Dave Benjamin]

Any clue as to when/if service from PDX or SEA to DEN might start?

We haven't even started the first flights out of DEN yet, so for anyone to answer your question they would be guessing as well as you could. I would look to see how many flights the other carriers fly to/from DEN/PDX or DEN/SEA. If there are a lot, it must be a money maker with above average fares, so expect us to jump in within a year or two.

Should be able to connect thru LAS immediately. If only a nonstop will do, probably have a year or two to wait. If a direct (same plane) will do, you'll probably have that at least as soon as OAK-DEN kicks in, which may be quicker, like maybe a year or maybe less.

Barely informed guesses, nothing more.

Well...... I heard we're gonna have over 40 flights a day by spring.

Any expansion at DEN, like PHL, will mostly depend on our ability to get more gates. I read somewhere that the gate situation there is pretty tight so time will tell.

More gates = more flights.
