We flew PanAm out of Worcester, Ma, back in 2001. It had rained the night before. As we waited in the empty terminal, a PanAM rep came over to the 9 of us that were waiting for this plane and said..."We have an issue here. It seems that if the plane lands here to pick you guys up, it will have to stop in Allentown Pa in order to refuel since it will use so much extra fuel taking off on this wet runway. So, it's either this stop or you guys wait for a different plane, which could take several hours." Seems the runway in Worc. is very short..duh..it's on the top of a small mountain people!!!, and in order to take off they would use almost double the fuel they would use if it were to be dry. Well, we all opted for them stopping for us and then stopping in Pa. We did arrive at Sanford about an hour late. But, it was a decent flight. Too bad no one uses Worc. airport anymore.
As far as Sanford airport goes..it's a very nice, small airport. Easy to get around in. It was about an hour drive to WDW though, so our towncar cost us almost double what we pay when we travel from MCO to WDW.
