Looks ok to me

What is helping F9 is nonstop service. I live 35 minutes away from TTN. If I'm going to Denver lets say, if I fly TTN-DTW-DEN on DL and save 45 minutes getting to the airport rather than EWR or PHL, I'm going to spend that 45 minutes connecting plus I have to worry I might miss my connection due to weather, mx or something. If I now have to pay more, I'm just going to go to EWR/PHL where I can get a nonstop and a cheaper fare.
