New route to CID
Figured I'd share it here in case anyone on the forum can use it:
Cedar Rapids-Charlotte begins Nov. 4th. 2x daily.
Seems like CLT just keeps getting more andf more Midwest service (not that I'm complaining of course
)

I've looked for DEN-CLT-GRR/DTW many times since I like the flight leaves at 1230am, but it will only price in the $800+ range.
I would expect the same for people starting at CID. Unless you are traveling to the east coast, you'll be connecting through ORD/DFW.

Here is a fairly lengthy article about the new flights in the Cedar Rapids newspaper:

Sure maybe you're not gonna find decent fares DEN-CLT-XXX, where XXX is a big backtrack from CLT (like DTW or GRR), but I find decent fares through CLT to DCA all the time, and to the European destinations served from CLT. And those are not destinations served exclusively from CLT.

Huh? I live in DEN and get decent fares through CLT all the time.

Even if DEN-CLT-CID might prove pricey, perhaps award space will work to make such a routing work.
More importantly, I hope that CID can support and maintain this service.
Recently, United Express flew IAD-MLI [MLI is ~90 miles from CID], and due to lack of sustainability, UX axed the service.
The life of the service was rather short, beginning in October 2015, and ending in early June 2016.
