Getting out of Biloxi before Rita
I have a friend who is in Biloxi who wants to get out of there ASAP before Rita hits and fly to SEA and visit us for 3-4 weeks while all the acitivity on the Gulf subsides. I don't fly much in that part of the world and would like to seek the advice of any FTers who might advise the best route out.

I would be heading for atleast pensacola. Biloxi is open but a lot of the passengers coming in and out are relief workers so I am not for sure the availability. PCOlA is no more that 2 hours drive.

If he is willing to drive a bit further or cannot get availibility from PNS, he could try VPS (one hour from PNS) and PFN (two hours from PNS).

Thanks
Thanks very much for the advice. I just called him with the info. Looks like he will drive east to Florida.
