During recruiting for my first job out of college, the employer flew me in and put me in a fancy downtown hotel…from my residence at a gigantic college campus that was a mere 2.5 hours drive away

i thought that was over the top

Although not hubs where their states are too small like EWR or BWI.

I've only flown within CA (many) and PA (PIT-PHL).

States where I’ve personally flown intra-state:
WI - a long time ago on progressively smaller planes as we flew north
OR - RDM->PDX connection to onward flight
CA - a bunch of times to/from a bunch of city pairs
HI - several times
AK - although it was an air taxi
AZ - PHX<->TUS as a connection to/from other flights
CO - DEN<->COS as a connection to/from other flights
TX - as connections

  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • Indiana
  • Iowa
  • Kansas
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Maryland
  • Nebraska
  • New Hampshire
  • New Jersey
  • North Dakota
  • Oklahoma
  • South Carolina
  • South Dakota
  • Vermont
  • Wisconsin
  • Wyoming
And throwing non-states into the mix, Guam and the District of Columbia...

Actually, ND does have an intra-state flight: JMS-DVL, bookable on UA.

You can fly intra-state in Kansas HYS-SLN on UA.

Actually Iowa does have at least on intrastate commercial flight that I know of. You can book MCW-FOD* on United. It's ~25 minutes and usually doesn't go much above 10k feet.


*the full route goes ORD-MCW-FOD-ORD but you can book MCW-FOD if you wanted to for some of reason.

As an added topic to this:

I've flown only intra-state even with connections, having done SAT-DFW-ELP and back.

I've also flown inter-state for an intra-state trip, having done SEA-PDX-GEG (which I did just to get a new line on the FlightMemory map). Probably more common for cases like Florida where folks in the panhandle may connect in ATL or CLT to get to other cities in south Florida.

I may even have left out one or two that I have taken. There are intra-Washington flights too.

Intra-Delaware too? :) (Happy 100K btw!)

CLT-GSO was about 15 minutes in the air, maybe less, on a smelly old US 737. Unsure if they even bothered with putting the gear up.

cblaisd Feb 17, 2023 6:05 am

Flew r/t FAT-VIS (on return was only pax). 13 minutes wheels up to wheels down.

I flew STS-SFO when introduced by United; the bathroom window was narrow.
