Two Part Question...Lexington KY & AirTran

[lpandorf]

We live in Cincinnati, but flights out of there to Orlando are somtimes 2x as much as flying out of other airports. I've flown Indy a few times on Southwest, but chose Lexington this time because it was so cheap! Nonstop to Orlando for $140/person on Airtran. It was twice that out of Cincy. Lexington is so much smaller and easier to get around then CVG. I asked the parking attendant if long term parking would require me to take a shuttle. He almost laughed at me. He pointed to the lot next to him without covered parking. The more expensive parking was covered. It was only a 5 minute walk inside from the cheaper parking. We got checked in very quickly. Based on our experience you don't need as much time to get through LEX as CVG. I would definitely fly out of there next summer for those rates. Much easier then IND.
(They only flew Monday, Wed, Friday and Sunday to Orlando).

Just wanted to add a reminder about the baggage fee's. You will have to pay the per bag fee going down and then again coming home.
So if 3 people are each checking one bag the cost down would be $60 and the cost home would be $60 for a total of $120. So pack lightly.

So pack lightly.

no checked bags for us .. we did all carry on bags when we flew Allegiant in June, and we'll do the same next month!
