The current president of TPA has done a great job at getting airlines to expand their international service down here. First we had Copa to PTY and more recently, LH to FRA. I do believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he said he was also working with AM to get service to MEX.

Have you been to jfk? It is a terrible place to connect. So many variables and such high likely hood of delays

Yes, I have been at JFK for 7 times. It's terrible. I didn't like it at all. I avoid flying JFK. The weather is so bad out there.

How far inland do you live? Are you really in "Tampa", or Orlampa? Most properties on my side of town are in the $7000 range, which may be on the higher end of hillsborough. Heck, even in Pasco, I can't see one being lower than $2500

HUH? PMNW flew TPAC between a number of destinations. MSP-NRT is roughly 50% longer in distance than DTW-FRA and the DTW-NRT flights would be a bit farther. In fact, at one point, the PMNW KIX nonstop--on a 747--was the longest scheduled nonstop commercial airline flight at 13 hours and 26 minutes.

I understand that. However the post I quoted stated definitively that the FRA route was the longest PMNW flight ever. Maybe a smiley was needed here. Someone apparently thinks that a lot of PMNW passengers went swimming.

You sure about that? AF stopped their MCO flights some time ago, unless they have recently restarted?

VS though, does have routes to MCO from LGW and MAN.
