What the hell?

Memorial Day Weekend

Travelocity has this awesome feature on their search that allows you to select nearby airports. I now know that there are 4 airports besides the main Atlanta hub to consider:

Athens, GA - Athens (AHN) 37 mi SE
Atlanta, GA - Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport (ATL) 57 mi SW
Chattanooga, TN - Chattanooga Lovell Field Airport (CHA) 94 mi NW
Greenville/Spartanburg, SC - Greenville/Spartanburg Airport (GSP) 100 mi NE

Distance† from GAINESVILLE, GA

There are more, but there beyond the 100 mile mark. I can't do more than 2 hours of driving.

It's conceivable that I can drag Erin to be "guest", if we can find a flight out of Islip. Her wedding in Long Island is Thursday. My wedding, well the one I'm invited to, is Saturday.

Birmingham, GA is 36 miles from Gainesville. Which is a route Southwest flies. How convenient. The big search engines are good, except they exclude some of the better lower cost providers. I wouldn't mind seeing my parents for one day, and then jetting out from Islip. Fingers crossed I can bribe/connive/beg.

Oh, f*ck. Southwest flies to Birmingham, AL. Which is much further away. Geography at this point would be helpful. Let's see. Out of Islip, there are ... 8 airlines (if you split the Deltas out).



Um...leaving on Friday makes it cost more. But I haven't looked very hard yet. And there's also Hotwire, Priceline. I need to go forage for some daytime cold medicine. I'm pooped. I have this cough/throat thing that is making me extremely tired. (And is scaring the cats everytime I pleghm).

Attractie.
