Max capacity of CS100 listed at 135......Spirit will find a way to jam 155 helpless souls in there.
PLEASE come into Rapid City, SD. We need a budget carrier that allows connections. Allegiant's flights to Phoenix/Mesa and Vegas just aren't enough.
I remember UA used to have quite a few flights in and out of there from DEN. I'm guessing not anymore?
UA does have quite a few flights in and out of here to Denver, O'Hare, and a seasonal to Newark. We have all the Legacy carriers coming here. however, the only LCC we have here is Allegiant. And we all know they don't do connecting flights. Frontier pulled out a few years ago when they went cost, and we don't even have Southwest. If we want to get somewhere in this country without paying $400 or more, we have to make the 6-hour drive to Denver and fly out of there.
Ahh, got ya. We have similar problems here in CRP. No matter where you're going, you're going through Houston or Dallas, and the airfare is typically higher than the cost to make the drive to SAT or AUS whom have great connections.
Good.
