It just is tooexpensive to fly from one smaller market to another. I was hoping to fly out of Richmond which is a really nice airport up to PA .but it is like twice the price of flying from Reagan airport very close to Washington DC.. That would be OK..really because it is a short metro ride from friend's house where I will park. Although it didn't use to extend that far the metro also extends to Dulles airport to the West, but that airport is quite a bit larger than the one in Arlington. I have flown out of RIC a couple of times, but this trip will have to be budget

@snowy22315 Bali is 1627 kms from Perth and Melbourne is 3418 kms which explains it I guess.

No, I am flying to see relatives. A market is what aarea an airport serves. It is just a different way of saying metro area.

Ideally, I would have wanted to drive my new car up there, but it acts up at times. I don't want any problems up there.

@LadyDuck Nope..One time many years ago when NW airlines was still around I got a layover in Detroit. That airport is kind of interesting.

It's quite large, although not as big as some I am sure. All the flights I have looked at include a layover in Charlotte. Nothing really to do there. I wish it would lay over in Pittsburgh. That airport has a nice shopping area within it. You can be entertained while waiting for your flight.

@snowy22315 A friend of mine told me that Charlotte airport is not bad, but there is nothing at all.

Hmm, The cheapest way is the bus, but that takes hours and hours. Not worth it for a short trip.

Airline prices are hard to figure out sometimes what logic they used (if any)

You can never get a direct flight there either. There is always a transfer involved, usually Charlotte which is not an exciting airport.
