I am willing to drive as far as Asheville, but have been looking on Google maps at stops along I-40 into Charlotte. Black Mountain, Old Fort, Marion, Morganton, and Hickory have all come up. Asheville seems to be slightly out of our budget.

We will plan to go to the area a couple of times for a week or so to scout it out, but just looking for some general suggestions, as we know nothing about it. Thanks/
Why not Phx.

I personally don’t think of PHX as a milder climate than DFW. Also, still have WB option at CLT. First two thoughts I have.

I dunno, I think there's a significant part of the year that I like the PHX weather better than DFW. Work the IMAX game such that your three months off are during the summer and get a summer house up north.

FWIW, that is a bit tongue in cheek. I don't IMAX and I don't want to live in PHX.

Phx is boring and depressing as well. Everything is a different shade of tan or brown and it's full of sand and rocks. Scottsdale is nice but at the end of the day it's just a nice stripmall surrounding a mall. But to be fair that's like 75% of the country, Jeremy Clarkson said it best....

Can't say that CLT summers are anymore pleasant, swamp @ss galore. But at least you get some hills to hike and the outer banks.

I wish AA would do something real crazy like open a domicile/hub in BOI or COS or RNO. Outdoor lovers can dare to dream, alas we still only care about the sunbelt cities that will dry up in the next 10-15 years.

God I’d love a COS or BOI base. Miami and Dallas are too flat 😆

The nice thing about an airline is you can shift your product to where the demand is pretty easily.
