USAir out of EYW
 
Just recently moved back to EYW and wondering about some of my commuting options out of there to get to work. I know USAir had express flights operating out of EYW a number of years ago (10 years ago when i lived there for sure), and there is still a counter there and everything, but i have yet to see a USAirways flight in there and I'm just wondering if and when they operate out of EYW? If anybody can shed some light on that for me it would be much appreciated.... My guess is that when they do operate, it is to CLT, but i can't find any flights when i do a search on usairways.com or on any of the flight tracker websites for that matter.

Thanks!!

DL goes to ATL in 737s and sometimes 319s... never seen them weight restricted.

FL (and i guess soon to be WN if not already) does MCO

And American eagle goes to MIA...

Those are all the airlines I've seen in there.

Yeah, i do know about DAL(i am one of the DCI guys ;) ) and am already using them and counting on them for my commute, but I know how the flights get jam-assed packed later in the year and just like to have options. You guys are great btw.... On a side note, I was curious about the 73 and Bus ever getting weight restricted. So far, it has gone out full almost every time i rode on it in the last two weeks(not in the cockpit).... Eagle is kind of a pain in the rear with the 145, seeing as how they almost NEVER allow a jmp in the cockpit (i've sat up there once and that was ORD-MEM or v.v. don't remember) and they are usually pretty full. It was a whole different thing when it was the ATR.... actually miss that thing, hard to believe I'm saying that.... It is already WN now out of EYW, but i think going to MCO is going to be an even bigger pain to get out of than EYW.... almost got stuck after i decided to go to MCO on GIA a number of years ago. Anyways, was just curious about US....

US Air (Republic) operates seasonally to CLT and DCA.
Southwest operates to MSY, TPA, and MCO.
Silver operates to FLL, TPA, and RSW.
Eagle does MIA.
Delta operates to ATL and LGA on Saturdays I think.
And Cape Air is still out there, not sure where they operate.

Republic flies in there seasonally for us. I don't think we do it right now. Too hot.

manfred33 07-11-2013 01:25 PM

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....

Silver is definitely an option through TPA... I had seen their schedules too.

I was mostly interested in USAir just cause then i could possibly get a DCI flight to DTW and have a better chance of getting on... Been a few years since i did the commuter song and dance, so I'm little rusty. Always something be said for living in base....

Thanks guys

I think US air still flies there but I think it's only seasonal.... as to what season, not a clue, sorry.

manfred33 07-11-2013 01:26 PM

Cape Air does RSW i think and one other city, i forget which, but don't think they would be of much help....

Yeah, DAL only does ATL.... Saturdays they do have 4 flights between ATL-EYW..... so i got dat goin' for me, which is nice.... :D Unless there is some kind of seasonal LGA service, but i would be really surprised if they do.

I've had 2 alternates, a cockpit jumpseater, and a butt in every seat in the back (including the FA jumpseats) and we weren't restricted. That's as full as it gets!
