On US site going from Boston or Hartford is a ridiculous amount 163k each but from CLT I can go for the normal 50k each (each way) I can then either buy a ticket from BDL to CLT or use miles to get that ticket but I am nervous if they pull out of CLT. CLT and PHL are the two closest non stops for me to Rome. We leave on the 16th so I have to act fast the day before we go so any advice would be appreciated
Sir down. Take a deep breath.
Do you seriously think that if they "pull out of CLT" it will be within the next 330+12 days? I do think that CLT will eventually have less flights than it does now. But that it will remain a large hub. I also see a similar situation at PHL. There will be redundancies in the new network that need to be ironed out. However, I would suggest to the people in PHX to brace themselves for more connections and fewer nonstops.
