Different altitude capabilities from nearby airports to the same destination could make a longer route cheaper, at least for flight planning purposes.<br /><br />One more factor for westbounds, although it's more likely from ZNY airports. Say BTV-MSP is already leaning toward a more southerly route today than ALB-MSP and BDL-MSP. A route such as BTV..BUF..JLGON..BAE..MSP avoids Canadian overflight charges, which could make it the winner. It's all about $$$.<br /><br />Thanks for the great blog.<br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509900465677846838.post-20686772096032553752011-05-11T13:11:11.522-04:002011-05-11T13:11:11.522-04:00I am in no way involved in the airline field, but ...I am in no way involved in the airline field, but my guess that the different routing are attributed to different dispatchers and individual pilots' preferences.<br /><br />Just a guess.Dan in ALBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509900465677846838.post-63941085320614890952011-05-10T20:25:23.475-04:002011-05-10T20:25:23.475-04:00Hey Mr. DM....
