One word of caution Jim, in case you're superstitious. USA 3000 is the 3rd or 4th airline that has offered service from St. Petersburg to Newark and other parts of the northeast in the last 4-5 years. Everyone before them has gone under, last of which was Southeast. I did see that they're owned by Apple Vacations, though, so if that's the same company that owns the Ipod? maybe this time will be different. Good luck.
