In that vein, looking at what's already loaded.
- CUN is 4x weekly from the start of the winter schedule, up to daily as of 16DEC
- LIR is 4x weekly, starts 18DEC
- PVR has a Saturday flight from the start of the winter schedule, seems to be 2-3x weekly the rest of winter
- No GCM or NAS
- FLL and MCO are only daily, rather than 2x daily we've seen
- No TPA, RSW, MIA or PHX
So maybe the sun capacity increase will come largely at the expense of existing TB routes. From what's loaded though, only CUN is increased (and modestly at 6x -> 7x weekly), everything else is a reduction. I had seen on another forum rumours of SXM and MEX a while back...
On a separate note, noticed that AF has sprinkled in some 77W in July/August. Only two more LHR flights on the 788 before going up to 4x weekly on the 333 starting Monday. Sunday's AC889 was full in PY and 18/20 J. AC888 was full in both premium cabins. I didn't get AC889 today, but AC888 is 17/19 J and 18/21 PY.

PVR getting a capacity cut makes sense. I can’t imagine RSW or TPA go away now that they have a monopoly on both but I bet they’ll only share a daily with a 3x/4x weekly split. As for MIA, I imagine if anything it’ll get a capacity increase and a full winter season. PHX will be the big question mark.
NAS might not survive but hopefully AC remains. I can’t see GCM getting cut but maybe a frequency reduction.
As for new routes, PUJ seems like a no brainer. POP only has a weekly TS whereas 20 years ago POP had 3 or 4 weeks. Samana maybe? YOW had that about a decade ago. SXM would be nice and hasn’t been flown in a decade. I’d love to see a Saturday service to BDA..that’s part of the UK bilateral like GCM. PLS is a market AC used to serve. MZT and SJO were served by WG pre-pandemic. BGI is a place nobody has ever attempted from YOW to my recollection. CZM was offered eons ago by Sunquest. I don’t think CTG, an old Go Travel/Zoom route is probably out of E95 range.

Wasn’t August on the MAX? Pre-pandemic AC would operate 2x 319 to YYC and prior to that 3x E90.
