A favorite flight out of Austin? In short, it’s a quick direct flight and preferably inexpensive airline flight to a place that makes a good long weekend. Please don’t misunderstand–it ain’t for the service..that’s non-existent these days. It’s not even for comfort….that’s non-existent in Coach.
One of my favorite flights is Delta 6452 to Salt Lake City. It leaves at 8:25 AM and arrives at Salt Lake at 10:19 AM. Why Salt Lake City? Skiing! With this flight, I can leave at a reasonable hour, get to Salt Lake in the morning, catch a bus to the slopes and have a quick lunch and be skiing by that afternoon. Want to come back…Delta has flights in the morning (Flight 3993 that leaves SLC at 10:53 and has you back at 2:34) or one that leaves about 7:30 in the evening and has you back at 11:00.
Want to head to the beach? Southwest Airlines has a nonstop flight from Austin to Tampa Bay that leaves at 4:15 p.m. and has you in Tampa (close to Clearwater beach) by 7:30 p.m. It’s another favorite for a weekend getaway.
Y’all have any favorite getaways?
