It will be great when they start flights to places people actually want to go.

i might try to do a weekend in Halifax in the summer if the prices stay low. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:50 4
- watch for the extra charges though. "Oh, $45 clothing fee wasn't included" -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:51 3
  - oh, the budget airlines all do that. i can easily do a summer weekend with a small carry-on. - Andie Jan 6, 08:53 2
    - Can you fit it under your seat? We have a budget airline here that charges for overhead space -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:59 1
      - for two days? i could, yes. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:00
This is how some airlines start. A bit of point to point flying from lesser served airports. Allegiant does a lot of it here. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:50 1
- Oh, I realise this. But Hamilton and Abbotsford are the only two airports near major centres, and they're both 70 kilometres away without good - Roger More Jan 6, 09:14
yeah, it seemed like they just threw darts at the map and said "ok, these seven it is" -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:46 4
- they said they were targeting secondary airports near major centres - much less expensive for them to land at those. - Andie Jan 6, 08:49 3
  - If that's the case, then my Allegiant reference above is a very strong comparison. - ty97 Jan 6, 08:52 2
    - we flew them to Sanford multiple times, thought they were great -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:55
    - it's absolutely the model they are going for. - Andie Jan 6, 08:53
lol Saskatoon. Like anyone goes to that province on purpose. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 08:45 4
- Says the man from New Brunswick. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:51 3
  - we have Storm Chips...although the company is in a massive strike and fight with the union right now -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:52 2
    - Actual quote from the ownwe during negotiations: "So I'm done. Carl [Flanagan, national UCFW representative], screw you and your f--king union." -- (link) - Beaker Jan 6, 08:53 1
      - he's brought in scabs now too, so things are going to go bonkers there very soon -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:55
