What's Your Airport IQ?

Welcome Back

Susan Weinstock
HTI Editorial Director

 

As always, your email questions are a great guiding tool.  We are proud of the information we provide, but it only has value if you know how to find it and how to use it.  

A travel agent asked:  How do you know the airports that serve a city?  

To find the answer, look right above my message and click on "AIRPORTS".  Using the map, select the region, country or state, then city for the destination in question.  The list returned shows all the airports in that area with distances.  You may be surprised to see the possibilities.  

This information provides a great opportunity to suggest money-saving flights or time-saving options to your client.  Airlines that serve under-utilized airports look to increase traffic and better pricing is usually the way they go.     

Do you have comments to share, questions to ask?  Click here and I'll get back to you.
