RDU is my home airport, and I'm really only subscribed to La Quinta and Southwest rewards programs because they were the most conducive with my last job. Trying to get better at finding deals.
As to my username.....it's odd. It just came to me out of nowhere. I paused and thought "That's silly. Why would I do that?" But then I thought "Why not do that?" The Big Ol' part I come by honestly. I'm 6'8". So spare me any legroom complaints you might have :-)
Seriously though....happy to be here, and looking forward to using FlyerTalk.
Hi BigOlTater,
Welcome to this exchange board. Many experienced flyers and airline staff here. RDU is my home airport. Nice place but very limited flight offerings as you probably know. Have you considered a drive to CLT? A better choice of flights/destinations though the fares are high. We would rather drive 3 hours to CLT for a non-stop than spend 3 hours between flights making a connections in a crazy airport, with all the inherent risks.
