BREAKING: Airlines have cut 60,000 flights into Las Vegas through October — and jet fuel prices are up 73%. Delta already suspended its Raleigh–Vegas route. Spirit is gutting its schedule. Southwest hinting at more cuts.
Economists say it means fewer visitors, shorter trips & less money on the Strip.
This is just the beginning if fuel prices don't drop. ✈️💸

I think you were fooled. Vegas averages around 550 flights per day so from now through October is about 6 months so that would be about 99,000 flights.so now you’re saying they will only have roughly 40,000 or 220 per day instead of 550.
I doubt it.
Happy days are here again

So your numbers churn out to a 60% drop in the number of flights. Didn't want somebody else to say that's a 150% drop in flights.

Canadian airlines have canceled about thirty percent of their flights. I think someone extrapolated that into something that doesn't bear scrutiny.

A flight to Vegas that is canceled is actually two canceled flights, as the return is canceled, as well..

I don’t know.

This past Friday I booked EWR to LAS for end of May at $344 direct. It was as high as ~$550 with one stop last week.

When I first considered it, a week before Trump’s war started, it was ~$330 but I hesitated. I am overjoyed at the price I got!

You mean like... Memorial Day week? Yes I'd be surprised to get under $400 too.

I know Jetblue and United used to fly direct EWR-LAS

My flight next week from Florida (RSW) to Atlanta was $550. I usual get that flight for closer to $350. It is getting expensive to go to work.
