Sweet - flying to Hawaii made easier
Ran into this news item yesterday. From
local station KGMI:
Allegiant Air Plans To Buy Six Long-Range Jets
The rumbling of twin-engine long-range jetliners is a sound you may be hearing at Bellingham International Airport in the future.
Allegiant Air is planning to buy a half-dozen Boeing 757-200 planes so it can offer flights to Hawaii.
The airline isn’t saying which airports the large aircraft will operate out of, but a Bellingham-to-Hawaii route has been mentioned in the past, and the Port of Bellingham has said it is moving forward with a $23-million runway project this year.
Flying out of Seattle requires a trip down there the previous day and commercially parking the car for the duration of the trip as the flights to Hawaii leave early in the morning. To be able to leave from Bellingham would shave a couple hundred bucks and two days off the trip.
