Why hasn't commercial air travel gotten any faster since the 1960s? (2009)

These are all of the places you can get direct flights to from CHS. We have flown there once.

https://www.flightsfrom.com/CHS

If you don’t fly often, airline loyalty doesn’t matter. I just don’t hate myself enough to fly Southwest and deal with non assigned seats even though they do have the most non stop flights from our current airport

Thanks a lot for this search engine. I always wanted to be able to search this way, direct flights from xyz airport.

You have to create the URL yourself.

It is flightsfrom/airport code/optional airline code

For instance these are Delta flights from CHS.

https://www.flightconnections.com/ is IMO nicer for exploring all airlines, you can just click on airports on the map.

+1 recommendation, I use it all the time to see where you can get to and from given a specific airport

Southwest is easy. Board, sit down, done.

Well first you have to set your alarm to be exactly 24 hours before check in.

Then if you are flying with another person there is no guarantee that you two can find a seat together.

Then you might be in the middle seat.
