Independence Air Launches

May 19th, 2004 | By Jared Blank

Independence Air, the newly re-named airline that used to be Atlantic Coast, announced its flight schedule and fares today. In short, they fly to a bunch of cities in the east and midwest from Dulles. Fares are low: from Newark and JFK, it’s $49 each way to Dulles (with a maximum fare of $109). Cheaper than taking the train.

Upgrade Travel Better

Airplane toilets really suck… literally - Some light fare for a pre-holiday Friday afternoon… My favorite gimmick from the recent (brilliant) AirTran PR stunt, wherein comedian Mark Malkoff lived on AirTran planes for an entire month, ostensibly to get over his fear of flying. In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
