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.)

I did not realize that so many of SW's Austin-Houston flights no longer exist. There are five scheduled daily non stops in the May schedule and nine Houston to New Orleans non stops scheduled. Anyway, I am sure SW can keep the NO to Austin non stop seats filled one way or the other.
