amyfromjersey Posted December 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ok...all you airline guru's. I have a cruise in June. If you were me, which airline would you use? My concern is that the one I chose will go bankrupt. I am flying from Philly to Fort Lauderdale. Which airline do you think is least likely to go bankrupt (except Southwest)? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted December 16, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'd vote for Continental or American. Surely not the most convenient or inexpensive from PHL, but least likely to go bankrupt by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelmac Posted December 16, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Amy, Why not Southwest? They have two non-stop flights a day. They fly on time, at a fair price, and they are the least likely airline to go "belly up". I would avoid any airline which requires a plane change at a hub, unless you are flying in the day before. Airlines can fly for years under bankruptcy protection. Enjoy! Kel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted December 17, 2004 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2004 JEt Blue flies from NY to Ft. Lauderdale. Perhaps they fly out of Philly too? Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl3 Posted December 18, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I have two suggestions. Spirit Air from Atlantic City is usually very reasonably priced and they are very reliable. We've been flying Spirit for the last 15 years, and they are in no danger of going belly up. In fact, they just purchased a new fleet of brand new airplanes. I'm not sure where in Jersey you live, but I'm guessing south Jersey if you are thinking of flying out of Philly. An added plus is that parking at Atlantic City Airport is only $4.75/day. And the airport is not actually in the city of Atlantic City; it's in Pomona, about a 10 minute drive off Garden State Parkway Exit 48 (or you can get to it off the Atlantic City Expressway). If you really want to fly out of Philly, I would suggest Air Tran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser62 Posted December 24, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I would go with Continental. I know some people have complaints, but I've never had a problem with them. Stay away from American! They like to change and cancel flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted December 24, 2004 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2004 All the legacy carriers change and cancel flights, and do everything else that the others do. Choose between the legacy airlines based on their current financial situation (IOW, stay away from US right now, and avoid UA and DL), and based on their schedule and fares.

Psweets Posted January 3, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I am cruising from San Juan in July and are looking for the best flights. I usually travel from philly but are looking for alternatives. How close is Newark Airport and Atlantic City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted January 3, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Newark is about two hours from Pottsville. Atlantic City is about three hours from Pottsville. Baltimore is another choice, which sometimes has lower fares. It's two and half hours from Pottsville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
