Quoting thegman (Reply 4): You wouldn't happen to have updates on last year's grants? Because according to that thread Del Rio, TX DRT was awarded some grant money and in conjunction with local money service was to be started to DFW, I think. As of today, I have heard nothing more on this and I live in Del Rio! I really want air service because the drive to SAT and dealing with parking, or staying in a hotel the night before is definitely worth fares $150-$200 more than out of SAT. |
