Yep, you betcha. How 'bout VPS-??(dang, I forgot the code for Panama City, Florida) on US Airlines? I took that one exactly once to connect with an ASA flight to ATL on a Beechcraft 1900 (or something like that...went up a few feet, flew level for a few feet, then landed..longer than EFD-IAH, though)

Wow, the memories you all invoke...thanX!

P.S. Other US Air flights from VPS include Orlando and Tampa, but I haven't taken them yet.

Back in the 1960s (when I was a kid with a father who worked for Delta at CHS), we'd regularly take Convair 440s that flew from Charleston to Columbia to Augusta to Atlanta or Charleston to Columbia to Greenville/Spartanburg to Atlanta.

And if you go back to the DC-3 era, intra-state flights were common because, especially out west, the aircraft didn't have enough range to do otherwise.

I flew that in January 2001, I believe.

UA flew that route for a short period of time (less than a year, I think). The planes were never more than half full, in my experience.

At one time, there was also service from SHD to BWI, but that was probably at least five years ago.

WA/OR/ID/MT on Horizon, UX, Big Sky
 
Horizon has lots of intra-state service in the Northwest:

Oregon: PDX-EUG, PDX-MFR, PDX-LMT, PDX-RDM, PDX-PDT, PDX-OTH (UX serves some of these as well).

Washington: SEA-BLI, SEA-GEG, SEA-PSC, SEA-EAT, SEA-ALW, SEA-PUW, SEA-PSC, SEA-YKM. Big Sky serves OLM-MWH-GEG, which is the only service to the state capitol.

Idaho: BOI-PIH, BOI-IDA, PIH-IDA, BOI-LWS

Montana: BTM-BZN, HLN-GTF (lots and lots more on Big Sky Airlines)

As for myself, I've been on: SEA-GEG (2 round-trips), BTM-BZN (1 round-trip), SAV-ATL (4 times one way or the other), SAN-SMF, SAN-SFO, DEN-GUC (rt), MCI-STL, ROA-ORF, TYS-BNA.

JFK-BUF
JFK-ROC
LGA-BUF
LGA-ROC
LGA-ITH
BUF-ALB
HPN-ROC
HPN-BUF

I do know there is:

LGA-ALB
LGA-Binghamton,NY
JFK-SYR
HPN-SYR

Im sure there have to be some flights to smaller cities Ive missed....Im rpetty sure you can fly BUF-ALB or ROC-ALB on Continental express or us air express...

All these flights are right around an hour and very uninspriing....Good thread topic though!

FWIW, I don't think that you can fly HPN-ROC, HPN-BUF, or HPN-SYR anymore. When I was last at HPN a few weekends ago, the flights were limited to trips to hub cities like IAD, DCA, PIT, PHL, DTW, ORD, etc.

Air Midwest as US Express still flies to some of these little towns. I believe that the HYS flights stop in GBD and the SLN flights stop in MHK, and the GCK flights stop in DDC. Thus Kansas would have at least 3 intra-state routes. :D

When I was in college, I flew both ITH-BHM and ITH-SYR (connecting on to elsewhere. Those journeys are an hour by car. About 15 minutes in the air.

You sure can! CO express has some real small puddle jumpers going...you pay an arm an a leg but they exist....

I didn't know UX had rights for domestic US flights. :confused:

Done a few mainline intrastate flights, some of which may no longer be in service. PS used to fly SEA-BLI, as well as a every 1/2 hour LAX-SFO shuttle, which US carried on for a few more years after it acquired by PS. US also did at least CLT-GSO (NC), PIT-ERI (PA), MIA-TPA (FL) and LGA-SYR (NY). PIT-PHL is rather pedestrian. Piedmont also did SYR-ITH. QQ used to do RNO-LAS which I assume WN does these days.

Both WN and HP do RNO-LAS currently. Also, as already mentioned in this thread, there is scheduled service from RNO-EKO on Skywest (though there is no non-stop service from LAS-EKO).

And QX is currently the only airline to run SEA-BLI.
