Saw this article today, might be an interesting connection option if the rates are low enough for J, but it's a long way in Y on a 321.

Last time this airline tried the route it was via DRW, with some DRW-PER sectors allegedly having only 35 passengers.

The route (to PER) lasted three months or thereabouts IIRC.

If they price them similar to what they do for East Coast flights I think they could make a decent fist of it.

Would be fascinating to know why. Tour groups maybe?

Is it via DRW in both directions?

Cruise ship crew repatriation / embarkation? Tour group(s)?
