...if you are planning to go to the NCAAs next March in St Louis, now is the time to make your early reservations...
...in the past I have usually gone to Philadelphia or Newark but this year I decided to check out an ABE departure and was pleasantly surprised... there are several Delta flights thru Detroit and/or Atlanta for only $265 + tax = $326 ...FYI...
Good old ABE airport. My house, growing up, was 3 miles from the airport. The airport, bought much of the Fuller fields around our place, with expansion hopes back in the 70's, but that never materialized as growth just stagnated.
Heading back to Northampton in 3 weeks to visit the family, and looked at flying into ABE, as prices are the best that I've seen in 15 years there. They used to be so expensive to fly there. In the 90's, we would fly into Harrisburg, since prices there were really cheap, but now prices to Harrisburg are 2X other airports in that area.
We're flying into Philly, though, and making the 90 minute drive, versus flying into ABE. Philly is a direct flight from Austin, versus a layover in Atlanta or Charlotte. As I get older, I avoid multi leg flights if I can. Wish ABE had direct flights from Texas, as I'll have to get back home more often as the parents are getting older, much faster, but that won't happen.
See you all in St Louis though in March. Easy trip for me
