Trenton-Mercer, NJ Airport

I can't believe there is actually a thread for this! I was just going to post one randomly and hope for the best, but decided to try a search first.

I am considering leaving out of here for our Jan 2014 trip since I am 20 minutes down the road, but I have a few reservations....

The first is that it does not look like there is a lot of flexibility with the schedule. I plan to leave early Friday morning and come home Saturday afternoon. I don't think they even fly on Saturday??

Also, flying in January makes me nervous about the weather. Are they more likely to cancel flights here? I keep telling myself that if they are even predicting snow for that day at least a week out, I am going to call and try to get an early flight. I am going for the Marathon and can't afford to be delayed for a day or two! I doubt I can easily do that at Trenton. :confused3
 
We are flying out of here in March, and my mother used them in December with no issues.


However, there have been problems for other flights. Last week, friends were booked on a return flight from Ft. lauderdale. The flight was canceled due to fog. Tis was on Tuesday. They were told the next flight out was Saturday! Instead, paid $800 for two tickets on southwest to Philadelphia. Then took a cab for $100 to Trenton to pick up their car. They said frontier was totally not communicating with the passengers, calls made from cellphones went unanswered with long hold times, and no refunds given.


So, cross your fingers all goes well!
 
I was going to add that you have to walk onto the tarmac, not sure if everyone was aware of that. Could be a bummer in some weather conditions.

I would not like the lack of restrooms past security?? Hum. Not good, if accurate.
 

I'll be following how the Orlando service runs in the coming months. I'm just across the river in Lower Bucks, so I'd love the quick commute to hop down to Orlando in October for F&W fest. But, I'm also a little concerned about alternative plans due to potential flight schedule problems out of Trenton.
