[nagdu] Air Charters

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Dar and listers,

That's not true. Since you can charter a wide variety of aircraft capable of 
servicing airports of various sizes and locations you could leave from and 
return to smaller airports and go directly to your destination without the 
need to transfer flights as you do on scheduled service. We're looking at 
traveling to Salina Kansas in November. Salina has its own municipal airport 
and is ground 0 for one of Kansas's  University flight schools. There is 
only one carrier, Great Lakes Airlines that operates service to and from 
Salina. Great Lakes does not have direct service from San Antonio. We would 
need to take Frontier to Denver and connect with a Great Lakes flight to 
Salina. Assuming it would be possible to do so if we find the right deal we 
could charter a plane directly from San Antonio to Salina eliminating many 
of the pains of commercial flying.

    The difference between flying on a scheduled service like Southwest and 
using a chartered aircraft is that when you charter a flight you book the 
entire plane and not just a seat. If a group of persons charter the plane 
the cost can be divided among the members giving the group a flying 
experience superior to commercial airtravel and the ability to fly directly 
to a destination without the need for flight transfers, delayed flights, you 
get the idea.

Peter,
I was talking to Jim my husband sharing your situation, where I asked
him if we started using a chartered plane, wouldn't we still have to go
to a major city?
Denver or something like that?
He thought yes.
That would mean to plane fairs for us.
We can hardly do one, to do two.
Just some thoughts.
