[PRCo] Re: Fwd: Airports

[John Swindler]

Go to JFK, Fred???  Why???  Perhaps only if you are trying for an Aeroflot 
flight from terminal 3.

There have been several occasions over years that first looked at Used Air 
price from PHL, then would find better price/flight times/choices from 
Newark on Continental.  For domestic, BWI was a good option due to LUV.  
(check stock ticker name)   Now LUV goes to PHL.
