I found out today that Southwest Airlines will begin service to my hometown, Panama City, Florida this May. I can’t begin to tell you how psyched I am about this!
Getting to Panama City is an 11-hour trip by car. One can fly there, of course, but that means you’re stuck with flying Delta Airlines and that’s it. As such, there’s little or no competition – and prices are high. Southwest moving in will definitely slash the cost of getting to Panama City, possibly making it worth flying there rather than driving.
On the other hand, the tremendous growth that this will bring the city will forever change it. I’ll miss the hometown feel of my hometown. All in all, though, I think this is a good thing for Panama City. Way to go, Southwest!
You are from PC? Have we ever discussed this before? I spent my junior high years as Rosenwald. My dad was stationed at Tyndall from 79 to 83.
However the possibility of a cheap weekend getaway to PC is damn exciting!
Yeah, I think we’ve talked about me being born in PC before. And I agree about the weekend getaway idea!
