  - yeah, I've paid more for just regular "more-legroom" seats before -- nm - oblique Oct 30, 12:35

  - I have not, some family have. They are a Ryanair equivalent, even down to the way they fly to secondary airports sometimes. - ty97 Oct 30, 12:13 4
    - Like for example, if you fly Allegiant to 'Orlando' you are not flying to the Orlando airport. Same with Tampa. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 30, 12:16 3
      - In STL they fly to the airport by the air base over in IL and they’re the only ones that fly there. -- nm - spamlet Oct 30, 12:20 1
        
        And I think they fly to Rockford for 'Chicago'. They don't only fly to secondary airports, but it's definitely part of their thing. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 30, 12:39

    - Since the 5-0 49ers became the 5-3 49ers, might as well go for it -- nm - crash davis 😺 Oct 30, 12:05 1
