Why won't DL sell me CLT-GSO?

Just because it wasn't price prohibitive doesn't mean it was a through fare. DL will happily sell you flight from anywhere to anywhere....I once saw people flying from, I kid you not, MKE to ORD with a connection in DTW! I'm sure that was a broken fare too.

Try 70-75 minutes... plus if you're driving right to GSO (vs. any of the cities in the Triad), you can max out your rental car's speedometer on the long, flat, desolate airport access road... not that I've ever done this.

Isn't this trip a little over a 1.5 hours drive? Why would anyone want to fly it on Delta? Seems ridiculous to me. I have co-workers who can't even fathom the idea of flights between DC and NYC. They would rather take Acela. Considering the distance between Greensboro and Charlotte, there are certainly wiser transportation options (Amtrak, car, etc.). Besides, that's US Air's market and they offer several daily flights between the two cities.
