how are they going to offer the huge range of onward connections that CO has a available at EWR?
Codesharing.
However, we don't seem to be scoring too well on the codesharing front, which I'm hoping is cock-up rather than conspiracy.
SN just published a *massive* codeshare setup with UA and US (shudder), which brings them into line with *A, after using AA for many years as their feeder into the USA.
However BRS-BRU isn't on either the UA or US codeshare lists I've seen. BHX, MAN and others are.
Similarly, CO offers a routing of BRS-BRU-EWR (although you'd have to look hard to find it - their own website doesn't recognise it). It would be good if that stayed in place as well.
I'd like to see more global airlines codeshare out of BRS. It'd be good to see Bristol added to the dropdown box of origination airports on the SQ website, even if it's BRS(SN)BRU(SQ)SIN that they're actually selling.
