What Can You Do? • Check srq first • Cost of trip comparison from door to door • Two hour drive to Tampa is the same as a layover time in a hub • The bridge or traffic can be closed just as easily as a connection can be late • If you must go to Tampa use the carriers that also serve SRQ. Co-terminalize the choice • Tell your friends
