Re: Flying around Florida ( JAX-FLL-TPA) & Silver Airways ATR

Thanks for the TR. I was at LGA recently and managed to take a bus ride from Terminal C to Terminal D. I'll need to upload those pictures to show construction progress of the new DL terminal. Being that it's your first time at TPA (welcome BTW!), very dangerous to try an interline connection withou...

Flying around Florida ( JAX-FLL-TPA) & Silver Airways ATR

For a while I have wanted to try out Silver Airways, and the ATR. It took a while for it to actually work out. I originally had a flight booked in January, from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale. It was about 6 months ago, so I don’t really remember why I had to cancel it. I think it was some weather issue, ...

SYR-FLL-MIA-SYR (Delta & jetBlue)

Last month I took my sister to Florida for a few days, to visit a college. We originally had ourselves booked on a CRJ-200 to JFK, and then an A320 to FLL. The college ended up changing the date of the orientation, so we had to move our flight up one day. We would be going down the night before we h...

Nice TR! And your verdict about the CRJ550? Is it a real "game changer" and does it beat the other CRJs? I mean, better comfort and more space for hand luggage? Btw. I was surprised that the B738 was equipped with PTV, the A320 not - is this inconstancy the norm? I honestly didn't think i...

Even mentioning what direction we'll be landing from is appreciated by me. He was definitely very detailed! After the flight i went up and talked to them and...

Allegiant A319 IWA-MFE-IWA

This trip was from a little over a year ago, in November of 2019. I did all of my flight training out of Gateway airport, in Phoenix.
