Delta used to have a daily nonstop AUS-SAT flight. It was once per day in each direction. It was part of a larger "triangle" flight between Salt Lake City and Central Texas. One flight went SLC-SAT-AUS-SLC, and the other one went SLC-AUS-SAT-SLC. I took them a few times when I was traveling between Austin and Salt Lake City.
I still remember one of the flight numbers - 1705. I flew nonstop to SLC from AUS, and on the return trip. we had the intermediate stop in SAT. It was the only time I ever took a trip where I had the same flight number coming and going.
Another time, San Antonio was the intermediate stop on the way to Salt Lake City, and it was nonstop on the way back.
I only saw a passenger once who got on in Austin and got off at San Antonio. It was a little girl and I think her parents were divorced. Her mother lived in Austin and her dad lived in San Antonio and she was going to visit her dad.
I think (when Mueller was still open) US Airways had a similar type flight between Pittsburgh and AUS/SAT that worked much like the Delta flight.
