I flew LEX-MYR all by myself (both ways) at the age of 6 (in 1965), with a plane change somewhere like BNA, to see my grandparents at the beach. On Piedmont. I remember I was late or about to miss a flight and someone banging on the door of the plane to make them lower the stairs to let me on at the last second. DCFS would have arrested my parents if this happened today.

Different times.

Yeah, those "cattle call" days are long gone.

WN has many features that are good and many that are not so good, depending on your preferences.
