yay, I'm in the PIT US club, with 1 minute to boarding. Yellow cab ordered up for my luxurious transport to the five star Econolodge Watertown.
The lounge matrons were very nice, no hassle at all.
Time for the mighty Beechcraft!

I am curious if any FT'ers who got in on the ART deal spent any time in Alexandria Bay. My wife's family has a place there and we go all the time and love. Hope someone was able to take advantage. If you are still going and are looking for 1,000 Islands advice, let me know!

At the Days Inn right now. They have a van that can pick up/drop guests from anywhere in Watertown and Ft. Drumm. So I had them drop me off at the mall after I checked in. Had dinner at Barkeaters at the mall, which was ok. Good that it wasn't a chain, serving typical Applebee type fare.
By being able to post this, kinda implies some kind of internet access
I'm able to pickup an open wifi network that I think is setup by the hotel, but run by these folks:

The hotel also has a computer near the checkin desk that guests can use, and I spotted 1 or 2 ethernet cables that I presume guests can use to hook their laptops up. Hope all this info helps. I'll post pics of the hotel when I get back.

I am on the Friday night 9:05 PM PIT-ART flight and the Sunday afternoon 1:05 PM ART-PIT flight in August. It looks like both of these flights are usually sold out well before the departure date (my Friday night flight is already sold out 4 weeks out). Have any of you been on these flights on these days and if so, did they end up needing volunteers? Thanks for all replies.

I'll have my FT tag on my bag.To those waiting for pics, I haven't had time to upload them, but I'm guessing there ain't a whole of demand to see pics of a Days Inn in Watertown either, compared to say Bora Bora Nui

In all seriousness, I would like to make it out there next year, and Gleff's and other people's trip reports doesn't make it any easier to resist going sooner...

Amazing what this $2 fare has done to stimulate the local economy; hotel lodgings, rental cars, taxi rides, restaurant bills, etc.
Not to mention the tax revenues generated...
