[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] Hey Mr. Norman, The airline issue here is one of who actually flies in and out of Plattsburgh, NY. I began my research by going to the Plattsburgh airport's website to determine which airlines service Plattsburgh. Imagine my suprise (and it was just that) to discover that Allegiant flies from Plattsburgh to Sanford NONSTOP two days a week and that one of those days just happens to be a day on which I could be coming off the northbound Adirondack. The bonus here is that my wife will be at her mother's house that day AND the mother-in-law lives just 15 minutes from the Sanford Airport. It is her airport of choice whenever possible. Allegiant flies full-sized airplanes and will nickle and dime you BUT when flying solo I don't need to check luggage and I don't need to select my seat in advance. The only other viable option for Plattsburgh is Cape Air which offers three or four puddle-jumpers each day to/from Boston. I'm not above riding a puddle-jumper but prefer not to........REALLY prefer not to. I also prefer to cram myself into only one airplane in a given day. Starting a trip from home just outside Asheville, NC, I will GLADLY drive up to four hours to an airport in order to find a non-stop, no change flight to my destination. Over the years I've flown out of Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, Greenville-Spartanburg, Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh-Durham......all airports within my 4-hour circle. Haven't found an opportunity to use the Tri-Cities, TN airport yet but wouldn't hesitate to do so if it ever fits my plans. Finally - If I pull the trigger and plan this trip, it would be with the full knowledge that I run the risk of an unexpected overnight stay in Plattsburgh and my need to make alternate travel arrangements.....which might include Cape Air after all......to start home the following day.
