Ahhhh, Republic.... gotcha. I thought I saw a DCA flight somewhere, sometime.... What is it, a 145 or 170? Not sure if the 170 can handle 4800' or not....
E170 for both DCA and CLT, but DCA was new this last season. Who knows if it'll be back in the fall.

AirTran/Southwest do MCO and TPA. At least they used to do TPA-EYW/EYW-TPA.

Republic used to fly into EYW year round during the days of the Carribbean hub in FLL, but the loads were very, very low in the summer so Airways went to seasonal service out of CLT. 170 never had any issues with performance. We were always able to get out of there with a full load if needed. The only issue in summer was flying around a 170 with 5-15 people on board. I believe the season in from October to April or May. Just check Airways future schedules. I don't think the service is daily during the winter as well.

Glad to hear they brought it back to DCA. The two day trips out of DCA to MCO, FLL, and EYW used to be a blast. Always lots of fun when you have a 24 hour layover in EYW......

Yeah, unfortunately they are not back. It's not a layover. DCA-EYW-DCA-(somewhere else). And it was only on weekends this last season. 24hr EYW layovers are not coming back
