The schedule from TLH-FLL is a late evening flight that provides no connection options in FLL due to an arrival after 2200 (if on time!) and no options via TPA connection for a business day trip or to get to FLL for a cruise. I hope their new intra-FL flight focus will provide some multiple flight ...
Jump to postMaybe Allegiant can take over the ACY base, they got very little presence in the northeast corner of the US. They got a thing for secondary airports next to the major airports such as SFB instead of MCO and AZA instead of PHX. ACY can be their alternative to PHL and maybe even EWR. And if they're e...
Jump to postWhen does construction begin on a new Concourse B at JAX ? Will the current Delta Sky Club move to the new Concourse from Concourse A ? Rumblings I've heard is that AA is destined for the new Concourse B at JAX and will include an Admirals Club. With the bulk of DL's operation at JAX being shuttlin...
Jump to postIf LAL works, it will be because of the originating traffic from Lakeland. I just don't see Florida-bound passengers preferring LAL over TPA/PIE or MCO/SFB. Having just passed along Route 4 from Tampa to Orlando last week, I disagree. Anyone heading to either area will not have much in the way of h...
Jump to postIf LAL works, it will be because of the originating traffic from Lakeland. I just don't see Florida-bound passengers preferring LAL over TPA/PIE or MCO/SFB. The same thing was said 25 years ago about SFB - it was basically a strip where all the European charter carriers operated, but domestic was a...
Jump to postRecent checking on flight aware never indicates a nonstop flight on Delta between MSP and JAX. Just checked Delta web site traveling 2/27 return 2/29 all travel via a connection. Perhaps this has gone seasonal. Sun does operate a couple of times a week during the winter. MSP-JAX has traditionally n...

I've landed on this runway more often than not when going into ATL. It's a cause for celebration for me not to get it and deal with the long taxi in. Try landing 35L in DFW and taxiing to terminal E. Easily 30+ taxi in. If you mean 35R, I've had a few times in the past couple of months landing on t...

Jump to postI never understood Silver decision making on routes. Seriously, with their high ticket prices trying to make low cost airports/ long distance/ 1 daily flights work. Since I moved to SRQ in 2009 I made comments to them and SRQ airport about why they couldn’t try anything together?? So many traveled ...
Jump to postYes. That is much more instrastate service than about 95% of the other 49 states. The Occam’s Razor of the airports on your list tagged as “NONE” not having intrastate service is that the ROI just isn’t there. People want to believe there’s a more complicated, or sophisticated reason behind the lac...
Jump to postLooks like once again Silver is leaving JAX… All future flights have been dropped and Jacksonville has been removed from the list of destinations served. No surprise at all. They were flying 2-3x/week FLL-JAX-MSY and return. With Breeze on JAX-MSY, having the jet over the ATR was a no-brainer. Last...
Jump to postPS? Try as I might, I don’t know that one either Private Suite, which is at LAX, ATL and I believe DFW. It's an incredible service that has your own private terminal (including TSA and CBP), a lounge that blows any lounge in this country out of the water (and you can also pay more for a truly priva...
Jump to postAlaska ate Virgin America. I'm still not happy about that. The F seats on VX were like long haul Business Class... Ummm. They weren’t. Virgin America F was a lounger chair like every other domestic F but they had more cushion, to be sure, and the foot rest, which admittedly, is better than domestic...
Jump to postSadly, we know how the "will run separately" goes in this industry. Also, this could open a bidding war for Hawaiian. Whatever the case may be, I just don't see this working out well for Hawaiian in the end. I could be wrong, but Hawaiians will be the ones to eat the higher costs if this ...
Jump to postThere’s a place in New Jersey that I go to when I’m visiting my folks. $18 for a cut (was $15 earlier this year!), cash only. Chairs are those deep, super comfy chairs. It’s two elderly Italian brothers and one of their sons working. Always a line, and everyone just sits there and talks about sports...
Jump to postUnfortunate. When I had business in Rio, our office was a 10 minute walk to SDU. Going SDU-GRU-ATL/JFK was such a breeze compared to sitting in traffic going out to GIG.
Jump to postI see HVN-STT as a good twice weekly island, same distance as SJU. Years back we took JFK-STX flights on AA DC-10;s and AA had a 727 waiting at STX to connect passengers on the STX flight to STT. STT back then had a short runway, I think less than 5000 feet and DC-10's could not use. Eastern plane ...
Jump to postThey have a join MRO base with AM at QRO. They've sent 757s down there for years.
Jump to postI dropped cable about 4 years ago in favor of YouTube TV, and I won't go back. It has all the channels I want (and then some), unlimited DVR capacity, and decent picture quality. The price has gone up since I've had it, but it still is less expensive than cable. I could have written these same word...
Jump to postNYC appears to be a combination of the weather plus the N90 staffing shortage. The weather in the region would cause ATC delays in NYC even with full N90 staffing, but the severity of the delays seems to be compounded by the staffing shortages. Recall that the FAA allowed the airlines to reduce the...

Jump to postAvelo could turn into 'Florida's Airline' re; serving most destinations in Florida if they add capable destinations such as JAX and PNS. Then you still have UST, VPS, ECP and can you imagine them being the first to LAL too? They are/will be currently at 8 vs. G4's 10. I think it would be JAX or UST...

Jump to postI think with DL, a big part of it is that ATL lies a mere two hours west of Augusta. By the time you have your layover (assume an hour) and take the actual flight (block time is a little over an hour), you can be there from Atlanta.

Jump to postYankees are DL8883 again this season. I still would like to know how the pecking order goes for the seats on these charters.

Jump to postThere used to be near-hourly flights either non-stop or direct between SPI and Chicago way back when. Times certainly have changed. Showing my age here. I remember when your namesake airline (OZ) used to fly Twin Otters between Meigs Field and SPI in the early 70s. I remember growing up in the late...
Jump to postThis DL talk has me wondering about American’s drawdown from HVN. Might they have had notice of some sort that a new airline would be moving in? Or did Avelo make its plans to set up shop in HVN with AA’s end date in mind. In other words, what type of chicken/egg situation was taking place? I ask b...
Jump to postMany factors in play today. Weather was a big one, solid line that forced the morning flights going to the Midwest up the east coast over Florence before turning west. That worked until they were being forced into the active warning space. Then came the first ground stop. We then opened back up and...

Jump to postMy guess is Avelo to MCO or Allegiant to SFB and maybe another spot or two in Florida. My guess is Avelo. Pretty quick flight at only 446 miles, but you give a family a choice between an hour hop versus a 7+ hour drive since you have to wrap around the Gulf and that makes flying a lot more desirable.

ANZ2 could have gone EWR...a *A Hub... I'd be pretty ticked if I was on that flight. The alternate airport is 99.9% of the way there, but instead one does a 15.5 one-way and then another 20+ hours for a one-stop plus however long till *that* flight leaves. Holy heck! They were already by Hawaii whe...
Jump to postDoesn’t have to require business traffic. There are tons of wealthy FF and high medallion flying into RSW, who live part of the year in the Naples/Marco island area.

Jump to postAirlines have different areas of focus, it makes no sense to bash them for not flying to certain regions as much as other carriers.

Jump to postAA to UST makes no sense from my view. My girlfriend lives off of FL-207 and can make it to JAX in under an hour (where we have 7-8x/day to CLT, plus DFW/PHL/ORD/DCA/AUS and BOS/LGA/JFK/FLL via B6) and 45 minutes to DAB (for the token CLT service). Both are straight shots on the freeway; even GNV i...
Jump to postI would presume HVN to CLT or to ATL will be next when they announce in February. If Avelo does add HVN-CLT/ATL, it wouldn't surprise me if AA & DL respond in kind with their own flights. I don't see either happening. RJ capacity is at a premium right now and both AA and DL have good-sized oper...
