Service to one of, Zurich, Vienna, Düsseldorf, Berlin, or Munich, which are their other hubs?

My guess is it has something to do with improving connections to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since Lufthansa doesn’t appear to fly without connections in Munich or Frankfurt… it’s either an increase to daily on Frankfurt or the addition of Munich.

What is the most conservative? To increase frequency or to increase plan size? That is my speculation. Another destination would be awesome but that seems the more risky of the options I have seen listed.

My guess is that the existing flight goes to 5 days a week. Though an additional destination would be amazing.

Recall them mentioning wanting to increase frequency but staffing issues have held them back. Added frequency would help for better network connectivity.
Maybe its also something that isn't service related? Maybe sponsoring something here.

Increased service and a corresponding investment by their Star Alliance partner would be awesome.
Said it before, a Lufthansa logo somewhere in CityPark would be awesome.imperialmog wrote: ↑May 19, 2023Recall them mentioning wanting to increase frequency but staffing issues have held them back. Added frequency would help for better network connectivity.

It’s not a new flight announcement! Settle. It’s something else that solidifies our relationship with the airline that will lead to future flight announcements
DOJ has revoked the AA/JetBlue partnership in the northeast.
It is going to put AA in a world of hurt up there now and I wouldn’t be surprised if the AA flight to Boston goes away.
They are going to have to really do a bunch of reconfiguring now.

They’re buying and renovating a four-family in Midtown to house the poor crew that’s stuck here from Sunday to Wednesday.
Frankfurt to St. Louis spotted over a beautiful spring day in Chicago!

STL Post-Dispatch: St. Louis awarded grant to prep 106-acre site near Lambert
STL Post-Dispatch: St. Louis awarded grant to prep 106-acre site near Lambert
I'm paying this considerable attention.ST. LOUIS — The city of St. Louis has received a $2.5 million state grant to help redevelop a 106-acre site just east of St. Louis Lambert International Airport.
Officials are hoping to attract an "advanced manufacturing" user to the property, which they're calling the Brownleigh Site. The grant will be used for feasibility, planning, engineering, preparation and infrastructure, said a spokeswoman for St. Louis Development Corp., the city's economic development arm.
Going through an old hard drive, found this daydream/scheme I did back in 2016. Thought I'd share this again for fun.
Note the Parking/CRCF parking garage where E gets are, hotel (not visualized, by the current Terminal 1 Metrolink station, parking removed in front of the Main Terminal, landscaping/water feature in its place.

This is cool. Wouldn’t the real estate being set aside for landscaping and water features be worth a ton in potential rents to the airport?shadrach wrote: ↑May 23, 2023Going through an old hard drive, found this daydream/scheme I did back in 2016. Thought I'd share this again for fun.

It sure would! However, as this is fantasy and not 'brief-driven,' my goal was to create a 'sense of place' and visual presence from the adjacent highway. Would really like to highlight the domes of the terminal.
Now 'sense of place' can be achieved other ways.
I hope the new design, by moving ticketing out of the main terminal building to outside front, allows the old space to have a 'Grand Central Station' feel. Right now when you arrive by plane, you go down a narrow terminal, to a basement, outside into a concrete canyon or lower level of a parking garage. There's no place where you feel like you've been' Welcomed to St. Louis.' (Maybe Terminal 2 on the way down to baggage. Reminds me of the rear entrance to a nice suburban library/community college for some reason.)

^The grand halls in big airport headhouses always seem to be the check in counters and ticketing areas with arrivals on a lower level. Maybe you see the fancy buildings on your way out, but I never really feel like I'm in them until departure time. Narita was something of an exception, as I had to go through a quite impressive hall when arriving to get to the trains in the basement. (Or maybe I didn't have to, but I somehow did the first time I went through. Narita is such an oddball maze. I never quite know where I am there, even though I've flown through four or five times now. Feels like a different airport every time, which isn't unique, but it's also not quite the norm.) Let me mull this over for a while. Not going to have any grand revelations, but it's fun to ponder nonetheless.
That or a different Airbus plane?bprop wrote: ↑May 18, 2023Upsize the plane to a 787?
@jshank83 when do you think we’ll see the next round of news from airport redevelopment. Environmental is ongoing, correct? More interested in new renderings/site maps.

FAA Approves STL’s Master Plan

https://www.flystl.com/newsroom/stl-new ... aster-plan
The plan was publicly presented in May of 2022, and while now approved by the FAA, is still subject to the agency’s environmental review process as well as airline commitments of financial support. STL and the FAA held a public scoping meeting last December to gather input from the public and governmental agencies about their environmental concerns to be addressed in the environmental planning process. Environmental planning is expected to start later this year and will include another public meeting, and airline negotiations are ongoing. STL expects to start architectural design next year.”
