I live in OKC. The commute to DFW and Chicago has been fine. Crashpad access in Chicago is much easier in my opinion.
Good to know. I have to do a ORD-DFW commute and it always looks impossible to get on - either a seat or the jumpseat. So I will probably have to go through some other city. XNA looked good but then some flights got cut and now everything is full up. OKC looks like it should be my good alternate incase I cannot get on a direct ORD-DFW flight.
