Have you seen the November schedule? There's only 4 daily Austin - Houston flights left. That's down from a peak of 11 daily nonstops just before 9/11.

I still think the flight will do well, though. It's not just people flying between Austin & New Orleans that will be on those flights. I looked at Southwest's schedules out of New Orleans, and they show several connecting opportunities from New Orleans to Austin to points west, like El Paso, Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Oakland, etc. And someone from Austin could also fly to New Orleans and connect there to go somewhere else (like Florida.)
