| Quoting Rbgso (Reply 99): Side question - what is service on Allegiant like? |
| Quoting Itsnotfinals (Reply 100): Very similiar to SX. no assigned seats unless you pay extra (but you can pick an acutal seat instead of just pre-boarding like SX offers), you pay for food and drinks, and they serve smaller airports also. All tickets can only be bought on the G4 website, etc. |
| Quoting CitrusCritter (Reply 101): In my experience Allegiant has had very friendly on-board staff, but at the outstations they outsource ticketing. |
| Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 23): I'm sure flight loads aren't their problem. Cheap fares are easy to fill. I have a hard time believing that they are making much money, especially on longer runs, on $10-$50 fares. Also, the internet is awash in horror stories about them. |
| Quoting Quagmire123 (Reply 103): People that are satisfied rarely posts stuff....it's the people that have bad experiences, no matter what the ratio compared to good experiences, that will lash out on the internet.....for every bad experience posted, I'm sure there are hundreds of people that had postive experiences. |
| Quote: The local business journal said that SX will base up to three planes at GSO. Will that cover all of the daily destinations they are planning? |
| Quoting Gsoflyer (Reply 106): And before you people starting dumping on GSO to the Bahamas, how will that work. Take a look at loads from CLT to the Bahamas or the old direct flights from RDU. Then you can answer your question. |
| Quoting Gsoflyer (Reply 106): I also read in another paper that by spring, Skybus plans 1 daily (well 5 to 6 days per week) to the Bahamas from the new focus city and Columbus. And before you people starting dumping on GSO to the Bahamas, how will that work. Take a look at loads from CLT to the Bahamas or the old direct flights from RDU. Then you can answer your question. But GSO would have to bring the old passport control station out of storage from the Air Canada days. |
| Quoting Luv2fly (Reply 108): Since you do customs clearance in the Bahamas why would you have to bring out the passport control from the Air Canada days? |
| Quoting Gsoflyer (Reply 110): I am not talking connecting from CLT, I am talking the O&D on the "charters" which are more glorified bi-daily flights. |
| Quoting RSWA330 (Reply 25): Sarasota/Pt. Charlotte/Ft. Myers is an extremely popular second home destination. How do you know that this added service won't increase demand. If SX offers cheap fares, maybe those with second homes will take trips more often thus increasing the O&D. I will say though that two dailies to GSO might be a bit much. We shall see though. North Carolina is very popular with Floridians. |
| Quoting BillReid (Reply 113): Delta can't fill a single CMH flight into RSW the worst months of the year so how is SX going to double this factor into PGT? I don't think SX can do it unless they offer the seats at $0.99 per seat. The demand just isn't there 7 months per year! |
