PIT, CMH and ERI are always on the top of my lists when I am searching for interesting deals.

My "12 segments for $271" round-trip from BNA-ORD involves both PIT and CMH ;)

Gimme a call on my cell and I can talk you trough it when you're standing there probably faster than asking around at the various counters as you go. Between the extra time and the connection inconvenience I'd put the ticket price difference threshold around $75 to justify the bus routing.

Thanks for the advice. I am considering LGA as well now. Would be closer to the hotel I am thinking of staying at in NYC. I just looked at flying TUL-IAH-PHL and return LGA-IAH-TUL. This ticket is cheaper and I get to have two new FM lines, a few new lounges, and easy airport to get to on Sunday morning.

All of the Kettles on my BWI-IAH flight are upset because we taxied out and then were told we had to hold for 25 minutes. Multiple people have already said they are never flying anyone but WN again. :rolleyes:

Wow, you're cheaper than me. :D For making the transfer to downtown Philly, then riding a bus from there to NYC, given all of the extra time involved, it would need to save me probably at least $300 for me to even consider it. No way I'd do it to save less than $100.

Can someone explain why high-volume airports have tiny little train cars, while the inverse is true of larger airports?

EWR: Those goofy AirTrain cars maybe hold six adult humans comfortably.

SEA: Those train cars are huge...I sat in one this morning since we left from S-4, and upon looking around I said out loud that I could set up a bartender, DJ and VIP area. Not saying that SEA is low-volume, but come on now.

I have a very limited travel budget. :p

I do also figure things like time in to the mix, but I am relatively flexible with my schedule and the WiFi on the bus lets me work if I need to, so that isn't such a problem for me.

In other news, all 15 flights from last week posted - 43,496 EQMs. Hello, Gold. :D
