- oh, I forgot Avelo as well. They are only a couple of years old but seem to be doing well with their bases in secondary cities. - ty97 Feb 23, 09:11
- Yeah, also at least here, we just don't have *that* many airports for the size and our big cities are really spread out. i know before Swoop got - Andie Feb 23, 09:05 1
  - Yep. It helps that Europe is just so compact and they just have *so many* cities. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 09:06
we fly Porter Thursday, so fingers crossed they stay in business -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 23, 08:44 2
- Porter's great, for the sheer reason that I can fly them to City Island. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 08:47
- Porter isn't a ULCC. I'm sure it's perfectly fine! :) -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 08:45
