View Full Version : Let the air traffic begin becky 03-19-2007, 12:56 AM Tomorrow is D-day: Horizon Air inaugural day of service, March 20, 2007 I have no idea how much or how loud air traffic is going to be. Who's looking forward to dreading this? KaisaG 03-19-2007, 07:07 AM I actually like the idea of having flight service from here... but I have never looked into the cost so I am not sure if it's worth it or not. becky 03-19-2007, 08:31 AM i like the idea of catching flights from here but it does cost a ton more than if you were to just drive down to oakland and fly JetBlue. IMO being a frequent flier to LA co. for me it actually saves time to drive to Oakland and fly into long beach to get to my parents house then it would be to fly out of here and arrive in LAX becuase LAX is so crowded and traffic is terrible. But that is just what works for me. jellybeanmichelle 03-19-2007, 09:37 AM I just don't want my house to be in the flight path. Don't want no plane crashing in on me. I'd like to live :thankyou CMT 03-19-2007, 10:04 AM LOL! i'm indifferent about it. but if i have planes buzzing past my house at like 2am i'll get feisty quick My3sonsplus1 03-19-2007, 10:46 AM I just don't want my house to be in the flight path. Don't want no plane crashing in on me. I'd like to live :thankyou That and the potential noise are my feelings as well. I kind of have an unrealistic paranoia of planes crashing over me some days ;) . becky 03-19-2007, 12:30 PM i still haven't heard a plane fly by yet. still waiting. I grew up under a flight path but the planes were still high enough that its wasn't horribly loud. being closer to the airport here i have no idea how loud its going to be.

I've booked a flight in Sept. It costs $150 r/t from Santa Rosa to LAX. Definately worth it for us! Sara 03-19-2007, 12:47 PM Yeah, I can't wait until our next disneyland trip. I hated that drive and am so looking forward to flying!!! becky 03-19-2007, 12:59 PM is that per person? CMT 03-19-2007, 01:55 PM I've booked a flight in Sept. It costs $150 r/t from Santa Rosa to LAX. Definately worth it for us! wow, that's great! We have tickets going from Oakland to San Diego in June and it ended up being over $450 for me and brendan :( meeg124 03-19-2007, 02:20 PM When SR had air service before, I never really noticed the air traffic. It's not like they will be landing jumbo jets and 747's at the Sonoma Co airport. We will probably hear more air traffic from flights coming out of SFO and Oakland. We might be going to southern Cali in October, so I hope we'll be able to get a semi cheap flight down there! It would be nice if the flight went to Ontario or Long Beach, anywhere other than LAX. That is a horrible airport. Stacey 03-19-2007, 02:48 PM is that per person? Yes, that is $150 per person. becky 03-19-2007, 08:12 PM We might be going to southern Cali in October, so I hope we'll be able to get a semi cheap flight down there! It would be nice if the flight went to Ontario or Long Beach, anywhere other than LAX. That is a horrible airport. IT would have been wonderful had they gone from one small airport to another but i;m sure they were thinking of commuters rather than us casual fliers. We have flown up here several times in October to attended the sunrise ceremony on Alcatraz on Columbus day and i can tell you that you can get tickets on JetBlue for $15 each way from Long Beach to OAK. Talk about cheap flight. meeg124 03-19-2007, 08:36 PM We have flown up here several times in October to attended the sunrise ceremony on Alcatraz on Columbus day and i can tell you that you can get tickets on JetBlue for $15 each way from Long Beach to OAK. Talk about cheap flight. Okay Becky... tell me your secret for $15 tickets!! Pretty please!! becky 03-19-2007, 09:01 PM its very rare but if you plan it right you can get tickets on JetBlue for that cheap, i'm not kidding. The last time we came up here is was like 150 for 3 round trip tickets and that included taxes and who knows what else get forcibly added on all tickets. The next time I get an email from JetBlue i will let you know. I have only flown once where the ticket cost like $75 each way but that was becuase i was flying up for thanksgiving. But i tell you, in oct around columbus day they do have those $15 tickets I wish i still had my old reciepts. I was looking to see what dates we flew for that price. I know that you ahve to keep checking thier website becuase prices change so much but if you book a flight and later find out it has gone down you can call JetBlue and ask for a credit. I literally booked my flight and found out a week later the priced dropped so i called and they gave me money back. Lynette 03-19-2007, 10:56 PM Wow, even at $150 round trip that isn't bad once you figure parking and gas going to Oakland. Its weird but we have noticed a few rogue planes flying over our house every once in awhile in the past few months, some pretty low but I wouldn't think we are in a flight path?? The ones *I* would be worried about are the small airplanes flown by the rich hobby pilots like if you lived near the Petaluma airport.... meeg124 03-19-2007, 11:46 PM Does anyone know if you have to pay to park at the Sonoma County Airport now? |
