Okay... let's all admit it: None of us really fly JFK > LAX and expect no competition. However, most of us can benefit from smaller airports located in larger cities. I'll share some of my favorite "smaller" airports for the "bigger" cities:
- Burbank-Hollywood (Amazing substitute for LAX)
- Toronto Billy Bishop (short runway, though)
- London City Airport (ditto)
- Charlotte Douglas (98% of the people on AE don't know what it is, and 2% don't care.)
- Dallas Love Field (Everyone knows Fort Worth, why not give Love Field some love?)
- El Paso (everyone forgot what it was)
- Richmond (It's a pretty important city in Virginia. Might be the capital. Just a slight chance that it may possibly could be the capital.)
- Manchester (London gets all of the attention, very few people operate to Manchester.)
Fell free to share some of your favorite "smaller" airports for the "larger" cities.
P.S. If you own a "godzilla" airline and plan on spam the **** out of smaller airlines that are starting up, why not spam on some of the more popular international routes, such as Newark > Heathrow or London > Dubai. If you really feel that airlines that operate a single flight with a single leased plane is a threat to your empire, then you are a terrible person. There is simply no other way to put it. A baby that lost both legs in a car crash is abandoned on the street by his parents. What do you do? Kick him in the chest. Spamming unpopular routes flown by baby airlines is the same thing in this game. Why not make an alliance (or invite them to your alliance, there is a messager function) and give tips to the baby airline? Why make enemies when you can make friends?
P.P.S. That was a bit of a rant, and I am sorry for that.
P.P.P.S. wtf does p.p.s and p.p.p.s. even mean? Post-post-post scriptum?
