It doesn’t have to be either downtown or the airport. Plenty of nice suburb type areas that are way better than both the airport and some downtown layovers. And I agree that 12 hours for “downtown” is way too short. I’d rather haVe the FA policy of 15 or more “downtown” and anything less closer to the airport with a few exceptions like BOS. Problem with this topic is everyone has an opinion. Send an email to your reps and let them know how you feel and if the majority wants change then hopefully we can make it happen.
