Yikes.. sounds like a problem... one delayed flight or a pilot that overslept will certainly have a domino effect..and their reputation will follow..... This is how Air South aka Coble Airlines went under.....LOL




CAE short lived career as a HUB..right up there with ATL...LOL

I was looking at flights just to see how they were being booked for Via and I was happy to see seats sold out for the next two weeks, along with spring break already being sold out.

Ah, good news on my return back to the USA. When I left, Via was 2 hours late on their first flight.

In ATL now and getting ready to board the CRJ-9 to Columbia.

Think I'm done flying for a while lol

Lots of soldiers on the fight to Columbia. Is it like this all year round or is it just because it's around the holidays?

My flight had 4 empty seats until I think they let non-revenue/standby passengers on. Then it was full.

My sister who was traveling with me was on a later flight from ATL to CAE and she simply said it was "pretty full". Lots of soldiers on her flight as well.

I have a feeling it’s both, also isn’t it graduation and entry time also.

Not too surprised with Frontier competing with American has the prices down below $100, I would've done the same.

As always, it just depends how much money was saved. Charlotte makes total sense if you live in the NE but if you live in the Irmo or Lexington area, I couldnt justify driving an hour and some change on a good day to and back from Charlotte just to save $100 or so. But everyone is different. It does help you’re picking them up though haha

I sometimes think Columbia’s airport would do better if it was just north of downtown in all of that open area to allow easier accessibility for those in our top heavy metro; then that would cause a little more development in that dead area between Irmo and the NE. Or heck, maybe we would have gotten a connector route between I-26 and I-77 that was proposed by SCDOT. Although overall, CAE isn’t located in a terrible spot as far as accessibility. Just for those in the NE, primarily. Just my 2 cents.

I would not do it to save myself $100 but when more than one person, 3 in their case, the $300 means something.
