Ba are flying to the maximum number of destinations allowed under Bermuda II, so any increase by flying to Las Vegas would have to be justified by being more profitable than dropping another route. Being business rather than a pleasure airline (slate the strategy as appropriate...), and with little non-entertainment industry (compared to other destinations flown to), it possibly won't happen until Bermuda II is renegotiated. In 2030 when we all run out of other capacity on any decent routes and United is emerging from Chapter 11 for the 19th time in the last 8 years. Maybe. Am I a cynic?

Just to add - it certainly isn't a hub for any of its partners, but neither has anyone else got a hub there - have they?

MCO would - I would put money on - still attract far more money - even from simply tourism - than Las Vegas BECAUSE of the families who travel. Lots more businesses in Florida than Nevada.

Goodness Gracious Me - are you a purchaser for a silicone implant specialist perchance?
