HAL9981 flightaware.com/live/flight/HAL9981
This flight looks like it is Routinly departing from Paine Field,and Paine Field does not have any commercial airlines based at it.
Does anyone have answers for these flights?
If so please post them.
When you are mentioning a specific flight, you should use the permanent link to that flight. It’s found by clicking on the flight in the history section. Copy the link from the address bar.
Why should you do this? Because if someone is reading this posting after the next flight has been activated, then the flight you are talking about will not be shown. The next scheduled flight for COA1456 leaves IAH 2118 CDT today (12 Jul). if it’s on time and I read your post at 2200 CDT then I would see a IAH-DFW flight and would wonder what was so weird about it.
8703, 8702, 8504: These are 737-300’s. Southwest is slowly retiring them from the fleet. They may be trading these in on more -700’s or they could be aircraft coming off of lease and being returned to the leasing company.
Might have been a repositioning flight, where they were going to one place, but got a call from dispatch while in the air, sending them to a different pick-up point…looks like it happened twice on the same flight! lol
