Car rental rates are unusually high in DIA last time I checked.

You could go with an off airport RENTAL agency and long term may be cheaper.

Yes DIA has about 40% taxes on rental cars. I rented a car for $24 and out the door it was close to $40. Facility charge, state sales tax, city tax,on and on tax.....

That's not a new order. It's the same 9 A321 they announced a year ago.

It was the campaign manager, not Rubio. All you had to do was just read the first paragraph to know it wasn't him.

I realize its the same order. The way I read the article is that they sold the airplanes to GE finance and leased them back before the first one was even delivered and they renegotiated 319 leases.

I get the liability and leveraging stuff, but I understand this type of financial move about as well as I understand female logic.
Why else would they make this shift in ownership? Any explanation will be appreciated.

Franke may or may not have cracked the airline code, but private equity KNOWS how to make money off of other people's money.

Best luggage for the Airbus.

Getting ready to start with Frontier in December!! Super stoked. As it would be my luggage just bit it! Wanting to make sure I get the best for the Airbus, I'm looking for any and all recommendations. Thanks in advance.
