I’m never really going to afford a private jet and am far to cheap to fly first class (heck I usually fly Southwest Airlines and there ain’t any first class seats). To make flying easier I look for nonstop flights from Austin–makes the flight quicker (often cheaper) and certainly lessens the chance of delays as well as lost luggage. You can fly to a surprising number of cities nonstop from Austin—London, Boston, Orlando, Washington, and my favorite during ski season Salt Lake City. ABIA’s website has been kind enough to list all the cities and airlines that offer Nonstop service from Austin at http://www.austintexas.gov/department/nonstop-flights-out-abia
