Tue 9/11/2007 2:50p | Have any of you flown Express Jet from Washington? I live in Spokane, and I can fly Express from here to Ontario at a pretty good rate. The best part is...NO layover in Seattle or Portland. They don't fly into SNA (my airport of choice), but Ontario is do-able, right? The non-stop deal really has me excited.
I can also fly non-stop to San Diego. Our next Disney jaunt has us flying to Anaheim (perhaps Ontario now) for 4 days, then driving to San Diego for another 4, and flying home from there.

Wed 9/12/2007 12:20p | If you're renting a car, Ontario is an excellent airport for getting to Disneyland. Take I-10 or CA-60 west to CA-57 south, and then exit at either Ball Rd. or Katella. Just be aware that for a portion, CA-60 and CA-57 merge.
As for Express Jet, I cannot comment as I've never flown them. I know that they fly smaller (37 ERJ-135 and 50 seat ERJ-145) aircraft (which is their business model -- connect cities that don't have enough O&D traffic to justify non-stop flights on a larger jet) |

Wed 9/12/2007 5:19p | Keep in mind that ERJ's are loud and cramped (but they are jets).
Then again, non-stop is non-stop, and that is worth someting in my book! |

Thu 9/13/2007 10:51a | Hey, villains! Ya...POSSIBLY a holiday trip. It won't take much prodding for DH to say yes.
DD turns 13 next month, and she thinks it's a pretty big deal...which it is. She also has been climbing up my backside to spend Christmas at DL someday. It could be a pretty awesome birthday present...depending on cost.
fkurucz...non-stop would be terrific. Right now, the SHORTEST flight I can get from here is 5 hours...including the lay-over in Seattle or Portland. I can fly from here to Ontario on Express in 2 1/2 hours. Half the time...pretty appealing. |

Thu 9/13/2007 11:17a | 13 is a huge deal - welcome to the teenage era of her life... She sounds like such a nice girl and she was so good about the last trip -
I vote she earned a trip without the half-wits...If you can get in on it the candlelight processional is the first weekend in Dec... |

Thu 9/13/2007 12:56p | Ya...she is one terrific kid, that's for sure. And yes...a trip without the half-wits would be great. The half-wits actually called me "chronic" when I told them what I was thinking about doing for DD's big b-day. We wouldn't be able to make it for the Candlelight, darn it. Our vacation is from December 22 to January 2.
Well, we may be "chronic freaks" to the half-wits, but we sure have a heck of a good time. |

Thu 9/13/2007 1:30p | I hope you get to go! You might want to know, though (or you may already know) that that is the busiest week of the year, with crowds up to 70,000 a day I'm told. You'll still have a blast though! |
