It’s really a great deal… one way is starting at like $48 to get down there. Then have some flexibility pending Friday night’s result

For that price do you get a seat on the plane or do you have to sit in the cargo hold?

Prayer is needed on that short runway.

I flew Tweed to Raliegh last year. Uneventful flight. Just stuff a carryon/backpack and go.

Tweed flights are perfect for short 2-3 day trips with no suitcases needed. I would check the destination for return flights in the event you miss your flight. Typically its one or two flights a day. I usually do Uber so I can rent a car if I have to return to NYC/Newark or Hartford due to missed/cancelled flight. Its never happened to me but I'm sure flights have been cancelled.

Tweed has its benefits, its the connivence (and trip duration) not price, when I choose Tweed. All other times its the Main Airports.

I do wish American would come back to Tweed. Used to have flights to PHL and CLT from HVN. As someone that travels for work essentially weekly living in CLT its difficult to convince myself to fly another airline at this point despite how much I despise AA

Part of the reason for the boys being sent away is to give them space!

In 2011 I was flying out of Tweed on Saturday morning connecting through Philly for the semis in Houston. Got in the air and had to turn back due to mechanical difficulties. Panic time. Asked my girlfriend to drive me down to Philly; she said no. Thankfully an awesome agent there found a flight out of Hartford and they drove us up there. Luckily we happened to be the second game that day because we missed the first half of the first game.

Wow that RDU flight from Westchester has to be a new route. Up until recently, CLT was the only Carolina destination serviced from HPN.

You connect through CLT - there is no direct HPN-RDU (at least on the main carriers)
