With about 46,390 seats, LAX to SFO tops the list, followed by Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Orlando International Airport (ATL – ORD) and McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Rounding out the top five routes are John F. Kennedy International Airport to Los Angeles (JFK – LAX) and LaGuardia International Airport in New York to Orlando International Airport.
