Charlotte is a US Airways hub, so i have no choice but to fly USAirways and pay out the ass for it. Charlotte is the most expensive city to fly out of in the United States.

That's why I drove to Raleigh to fly Southwest to DC for the October DC show, and I'm driving to Raleigh in September to fly Southwest to Philadelphia for the AC and Camden shows.

As far as that second statement...I know what you meant but...
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Nothing like being piled up on the roof of a swanky hotel on Fifth Ave. and getting into the booze. I also love how we just sort of took over the business center of the hotel, at which we were NOT staying Oh Well!!!!!!!

Wonder how steady your hand was and how the picture turned out Poor Chris had 5 phone calls to her house...I can only imagine what we sounded like. Hey, nothing wrong with take over the business center. You laid on that southern charm and we were in

When I lived in Phoenix, I flew either America West or Southwest, mostly America West. Since I've moved back to Missouri I haven't flown anywhere so I don't know. I will probably be making a trip back to Phoenix sometime this winter (hopefully for the AHI benefit), and then it'll be America West again.

Default Only one so far...

I've only been on British Airways (nice!!) and I'm about to take my first Southwest Airlines flight to Houston to see Justin Guarini in Beaumont.

I don't really like flying as I have a nervous stomach and motion sickness, but the busride I took back in June to see FM sucked even MORE!! BLECK!!

I'm sure that will be a big switch - British Airways to SW.

Whatever one gives me the best deals! Nashville was the closest airport to me for a long time, and it's a US Air hub, so I flew that a lot. They're okay. The last time I flew, it was America West.

I try to fly British Airways when I can, never had any problems with them (just the other passengers, mainly children bless them.. Need to get my ass into a good job then I can afford the nicer seats.. )

Air France were the worst for me as a side note. (Their chicken salads would not get by post 9/11 security for dangerous objects.)

I'm like Livia and fly Southwest! Their Rapid Rewards program is great, it's super easy to get tickets, there aren't really any blackout dates or restrictions like with other airlines, it's always cheap, and I am NEVER delayed as much or have problems with them like I do whenever I fly other airlines. They're very dependable. I can normally get a $75-$80 ticket to fly home to see my family, too (Chicago to KC).

Livia- if you get a lot of rapid rewards tickets, you should totally auction an extra one on Ebay if you're not going to use one. You can make a ton of cash off it!

British Air's First Class section on overseas flights in UNBELIEVABLE - they have a chair that reclines into a bed and they give you a down comforter. The one I was on has a bar on the second level with a piano and a player. I mean HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO luxury. Delta has only Business First, which is nice and WAY better than coach, but is in no WAY comparable to First Class on BA or any other airline with a true First Class cabin.
