"I was so excited last year when they announced that apple going to fly Jamaica out of Rockford, but then I saw the price"
Us also, that would eliminate 2 days of travel for use, we live 20 minutes or so from that Airport, and we would go to Chicago to sleep each way.......I heard flights are not full, I bet they wont renew their contract....The airport "subsidizes" the Airlines to make up for the empty seats, that is why the empty seats, rather than sell them a a reduced cost (charters use to do this) as the departure date grows closer, they take off, with the subsidence of the Airport money, and with out the extra weight of people sitting in those seats and luggage...equals less fuel needed for the same trip...MORE PROFIT.........the world is a bottom line place $$$$$
nobody passes the savings along to the consumer any more
the Airport has had a history of such deals.......
