It's a charter flight. No non-stops between Syracuse and Greenville.

Its just not an air line that most people would want to fly.

It's not like the players are paying for their checked bags or anything? Its a plane that they board on the tarmac that gets from point A to point B. It's not like Allegiant's planes are unsafe.

The growth of low-cost airlines going to more destinations and the huge length of time it takes to build planes means it's getting harder and harder to find an empty plane to charter. It's becoming a big problem for college teams. Gotta take what you can get.

Also, looks like this flight number flew Buffalo to play Rutgers last week and North Texas to play Arkansas the week before that. So, there's some good mojo in those wings.

Relax we could have the Butgers team airplane instead

I've flown with them 4 times now and they are great.

After that 60 Minutes expose on Allegiant; there is no chance in hell I’ll fly them. Only takes one time. They have the oldest fleet of planes out there and three times (!) as many complaints/mechnanical problems compared to Spirit, Frontier, Jet Blue, etc.

Dungey will climb out on the wing and fix the engine, if he has to.

sad end for a WWII PBY, flying boat. They were the go-to plane for anti-submarine warfare. They are now 80 years old and still being used as air tankers to fight forest fires. They are a trip. They can land on water and then power themselves up a ramp to get to dry land. I've had a turbulent flight in a similar ancient plane, a Grumman Goose, from Stewart BC to Prince Rupert BC, following a narrow portion of the Inside Passage, lined by mountains, never going above the 500' cloud cover, while the pilot chain smoked, even when standing on top of the wing to fuel up in Stewart. Highlights were the Priest praying up front and the pilot fishing around for his lit cigarette that he lost during turbulence. It was the first plane to make it to Stewart in several days and no one knew when the next one would make it. You take what you can get.

Completely off topic, but I'd love to hear more (DM is fine too). I've always gone with American since I racked up miles living in Charlotte.

Nightmare at 20,000 feet! Love it... I believe that role was reprised by John Lithgow in the movie version.

if you live in bethlehem pa and have a condo in north myrtle beach--it is the one to fly

after the 60 min story and so many of my friends who have been left stranded flying them, my wife says never.. And i would never fly them if i had a tight deadline either direction.
