Actually, this would be better for football than an ORD connection. Better to not keep our TX recruits waiting around for too long....nice and snappy little trip to the Little Apple....easy peasy.

ORD is the only biggy that makes American Eagle sense. :pray:
there was some kind of ord rep at the last announcement when they announced three dfw flights daily and they've spent the past few months studying mhk to ord flights, so anything other than ord would be really surprising.
get_hit should just go ahead and spill it.

Sir Richard Branson has selected MHK as a launching site for Virgin Galactic. We've known for years that MHK and Salina have had superior runway access and have been backups for Space Shuttle missions. It will be kinda fun to see the parade of billionaires and celebs strolling through Aggieville as they pass the time during pre-flight prep.

good work _hit.
amazing how elite manhattan is going to be when the ord flights start. live in mhk and want to go to new york for the pinstripe bowl? no problem. get in your car and drive five minutes, park in free parking, walk 45 seconds into mhk, self check in and boom... you're basically there.

Manhattan airport now offers flights to Chicago
By Lindsey Elliott
The Manhattan Regional Airport has some big news, which seems to be a regular occurance for the airport these days.
Tuesday morning, American Eagle, airport officials and representatives from all across the Flint Hills gathered in the lobby of the airport to celebrate the newest addition, a round-trip flight to the Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
MHK announced their partnership with American Eagle in March of last year with two round-trip flights to the Dallas/Fort Worth Hub and since that announcement have now added two more flights, making the total three flights to DFW and one to Chicago O'Hare.
The flights with American Eagle started last August, and the growth since the partnership began is something American Eagle Managing Director of Government Affairs Dale Morris says shows the partnership within the area.
"I am so proud of this community and proud of the way you have supported the Dallas service," he says. "Yu just can’t open markets anywhere. That speaks a lot for Manhattan Kansas."
Starting November 18, flights will leave at 7:20 p.m. from Manhattan and arrive in Chicago at 9:05 p.m. The returning flight from Chicago will leave at 6:50 a.m. and land in Manhattan at 8:30 a.m.
Tickets can now be purchased for the 50-passenger Chicago flights.
-
so this will take the place of the third DFW flight??

Yes it will take the place of the 3rd dfw flight. (bad link above)

Mods, since you see fit to merge my thread trumpeting the *official* announcement with one that was only discussing rumors, :curse: could you at least change the question mark in this thread subject line to an exclamation point since my sources are telling me this is a done deal?

haha alright pissclams, you were the one that was wrong, but whatever bro, im wrong sometimes too.
i'm never wrong. if you enjoy making fun of the people (MHK mayor) who take the time out of their life to make your world a better place by helping get the MHK-ORD set in stone, then you are wrong. but like i said in another post- i am never wrong.

Come ooooooooon IAD :pray:

:lol: let's see 'clams.....you called me a jackass for making fun of the mayor that is not even related to the posters on this board, but you thought he was. You are too stupid to realize that it is a different mayor. :bang: Oh and the mayor did so much to get that Chicago flight in here. Are you kidding me!? Like I said in another post you are wrong. :bang: Please explain what Mr. Mayor here did for us to get it in here? Did he have a few tea parties with the Mayor of Chicago??? Please tell me. And if you didn't remember all I made fun of the mayor for was liking the Cubs. You are wrong pissclams. :grin:

LGA next :pray:
lol, no way in hell.

dumbasses

LGA next :pray:
ord is good enough though right? lga to ord and ord to mhk. from there the possibilities are just endless...aggieville, manhattan town center, the new rays apple market on anderson.... i mean come on, life has to be looking pretty dang good for gosp right now, huh? :cool:

go ahead and pretend that you know what's going on, i don't care. i know what really happened and you obviously don't. go ahead and make yourself look like a complete baffoon. a complete baffoon. maybe someday you will open your eyes to reality...then again, maybe you're happy doing this opcat impersonation and eating moist cake? who knows? not me. not anyone for that matter. i don't know. you think the gulf oil spill is all BP's fault? i dont. you think it's a coincidence that we're just now getting mhk-ord and not mhk-lax or mhk-las? or mhk-clt? seriously bro, step away from the keyboard and think about it for a minute and i think you will realize that maybe i do know a little more than what you might think i know abou mhk-ord. and then again, maybe you won't?

Well, this creates a bit of a dfw-ord rift. we need to answer a few questions (dfw or ord)
1)if you have a 30 minute layover?
2)if you have a four hour bonanza layover?
3)mhk gate: dfw terminal b vs ord terminal 2?
4)mhk gate: dfw terminal b vs ord terminal 1?
5)mhk gate: dfw terminal b vs ord terminal 1 (concourse B)? (this one is tricky)
6)flying to seattle?
7)flying to lax?
8)flying to london?
9)food? (this one is pretty easy actually)
10)people watching?
11)scenery? (HOTTER FEMALES!! OMG!)
12)international terminal eliteness?
13)if you are on a business trip, saying you are layovering in which airport gives you more cred in the business world?
take your time.

correct answer to every question is DFW
-
Most of AA's Euro/Asia routes originate in ORD iirc. I think you can go a few from DFW but most from ORD.
-
How will prices be compared to flights from KC? Drive to MHK shorter, free parking? :fatty:
-
Used to be able to do free parking at MCI, but I think they fixed that. Before you left, you would just loop back through and get a new parking ticket from the machines then leave with that one. That way you have the under 30 min free. I think they moved the ticket machines to outside the gate now though I could be wrong, been awhile since I've flown from outside MHK.

I know there are some losers in KC who think a vacation to STL is elite, so I assume there are quite a few Manhattan Townie losers that probably really like STL. I don't see why they'd do daily flights, though. They should do a weekly plane crash from MHK-STL.

Cmoooon IAD
-
No way in hell it's STL. The list of cities that fly into STL on AA are:
DCA
DFW
LGA
ORD
LAX
MIA
JFK
I don't forsee an MHK being added to that list. :dubious:

Just further destroying the built in excuses on recruiting.
MHK/KSU will be one of the most accessible small college towns in the country from a recruiting perspective.

Takes way too long to fly down to Dallas only to fly back up somewhere west. Denver plz. At least over St. Louis. :flush:

didn't mhk have a direct to denver @ one time, it wasn't through AA though. also the price from mhk to denver is ridic. that would go down significantly w/ a direct flight there.

Great lakes flew direct to DEN and MCI but that was quickly nixed once ORD was coming here. They were shitty small-town planes with no bathrooms that took pitstops in places like McCook and Dodge City. DO NOT WANT BACK

American Airlines to spinoff American Eagle :ohno: :popcorn:

Said they aren't ruling out a sale either. Delta just announced that they are scaling back on their small city routes as well. AA just ordered a bunch of new birds and I'd like to see what the order looked like.

260 from Airbus, 200 from Boeing. Supposedly going to be quieter and more fuel efficient planes all around.

One of my 'contacts' in transportation works for Southwest. He said with the merger of SW and AirTran, smaller city routes is going to play a major role in how they operate. Said there is a good chance Manhattan may be on that list with 'that animal science thing you've got going on out there.'

100 Boeing 737NG's
100 Boeing 737RE's
100 Boeing 737NG & 737RE options
7 Boeing 777-200ER's
130 Airbus A320series
130 Airbus A320NEO series
365 Airbus A320 & A320NEO series options
-
i dont know what any of this means.

Said they aren't ruling out a sale either. Delta just announced that they are scaling back on their small city routes as well. AA just ordered a bunch of new birds and I'd like to see what the order looked like.
260 from Airbus, 200 from Boeing. Supposedly going to be quieter and more fuel efficient planes all around.

well, none of those will ever land in MHK :frown:
-
i dont know what any of this means.
It means AA just ordered a shitload of planes that are too big for MHK at the same time deciding to prolly sell American Eagle. Doesn't really effect traffic from MHK as American Eagle will get a buyer or operate as it's own towny line but could effect AA point usage out of MHK in a couple years.

thanks sd.

Eagle Could Lose Some American Business
Right now, Eagle is slated to operate 281 aircraft for American, but that number can decrease…and soon. Starting next year American can remove up to 12 ATRs per year, and up to 40 jets per year beginning in 2014. In addition, “American’s right to withdraw aircraft each year is cumulative so that any number of aircraft not withdrawn in any year may be withdrawn in a subsequent year, subject to certain limitations,” according to Eagle. Over time, Eagle may also lose some ground handling business from American as well.
Changing Regional Industry Dynamics
In May 2011, there were (on average) slightly more than 5800 daily departures operated by ERJ-135/140/145 and CRJ-100/200, down from nearly 6700 in May 2008, according to DOT traffic statistics. This downward trend will likely continue in the future as capacity purchase agreements expire and mainline carriers adjust their regional service to the realities of today’s industry, such as higher oil prices. Of course, growth in the larger RJ segment has helped to offset this decrease.

losing the flights would be devastating. perhaps they will just take away ORD.

Would be preferable.

It may get changed up but they aren't going to stop flying sold out routes. AA has put off the spin off of AE until some time in 2012. Will be more interesting to see how AE moves forward from there. That would be the bigger concern imo.

no way in hell that they take away the flights. they are all almost at capacity and they are full of people flying on fed govt money with more fed govt money and people getting ready to move in.

then why would they have added routes to both ord and dfw? not all flights may be full, but the fact that they're adding additional flights on particular routes is a great indicator that the lanes are making money.

well i'm basing my opinion on a close friend that is currently employed as a corporate planning executive at american airlines and who also spent a couple of years working on pricing structures of aa flights in and out of japan, while your source for information is whatever faloon bartender happened to draw the tuesday afteroon shift. so unless i'm wanting to know if the faloon handmakes their ranch dressing or purchases it in bulk from sysco, i think i'll stick w/ what i already know. thanks anyway though dumbass.

i'll assume that sd is going to follow through on this, so i'll share what i heard. my source isn't 100%, but a very strong rumor is that felix rex is going to be pretty damn happy if he ever wants to visit mhk directly on aa for a fball or bball game some time in the fairly near future. not what we most probably want, but opening up aa to the east coast when you have around 300k ba and aa miles is a pretty sweet deal for some.
-
so does anyone know where the hell felix rex is from? For selfish reasons, I hope Denver and that RD doesn't understand what the east coast is

They have a very specific set of improvements for the coming decade. It's ALL about finding the money. The next item is a jetway. Will cost 1.7 mill. Parking lot improvements. Have to decide if they free parking, paid parking to help offset the cost of expanding the lot (then you give up one odd the benefits-free parking which attracts people but then you have to figure out how to pay for the improvements. The terminal needs to be 3.5 times bigger than it is right now. Big bucks, where do those come from? The data on usage currently justifies a west bound flight and is being shopped around. Will not be American as they don't go direct to Denver. Good problems to have. NBAF stalling has slowed things down.
sounds pretty positive :dunno:
-
it's like, i keep hearing how the terminal needs to be way bigger than it is but i just don't see why. build whatever runaway thingy you need to build and let's go get some more flights!
-
i feel like there should be some sort of pocket planes fundraiser or something. i have no idea how the logistics would work, but man oh man it would feel awesome to funnel a bunch of flights in/out of mhk :AA:
-
Attended the unveiling today of the proposed enhancements to the airport. There were three possible designs presented and they each cost the same, so it's a style decision now. They asked for input from the public. The one I liked the best had a roof line that looked like three ocean waves back to back washing across the roofline. The first phase will be to add significant new parking. THe grassy area currently in front of the airport terminal will become parking. They will have both short term and long term paid parking (unattended). That will start in January. Then next Spring they will be the first section onto the terminal and also add a jetway access to the planes. Then in 2014 the big addition will hopefully start that will make the terminal 3.5 times bigger. The current high arched center area will become the lobby and restaurant dining area. Additional baggage claim area with two "T" shaped conveyer bag claim areas, new car rental area, additional gates, meeting room spaces, etc being added. It looks great and will definitely elevate The AP. They are seriously working with several carriers to head west. It will definitely be Denver for the destination. If its United it will prob be two daily flights. One morning and one early pm. Would be 50 passenger planes. If its Frontier would be 1 flight 4 days per week in a 120 passenger plane. That's really to big for Man to fill up. Hope to have those Denver flights by June but just waiting on the carriers. Also good chance of adding a 4th daily Dallas flight. No addl flights to Chicago for now. Military account for 50% of the Dallas flights now. NBAF is not a big issue for the airlines as they don't really know how to measure its impact and they just consider it another possible employer. The airport folks thinks it will have a large impact, particularly thru the university.
Boffom line...exciting days at the Man airport. Will really give it a regional feel and have a big economic impact. Great time to be living in Manhattan.
Also, the new K18 work will not be finished until Jan 2013. There will be two roundabouts at the Scenic Drive overpass to access the frontage road that will run parallel to the new K18. You will be able to enter the airport from either the frontage road which will run all the way to Ogden or from K18. Should have pics in the paper Tuesday

twice daily united to denver possibilities :horrorsurprise:

the united jets would be Embraer ER4s
http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/United_Airlines/United_Airlines_Embraer_ERJ-145.php
I'm guessing the 120 seat frontier jet would be an A318. Would be stupid to A) fly something that big into/out of MHK right now and B) fly it only 4 times a week. The united plan sounds much better.

yeah, it sucks. you can find low level award travel but some dates they black out on certain routes and some you have to plan well ahead to book on points. I've got almost 60k and am considering just booking a high level 50k RT instead of continually searching for a low level 25k. usually the cheapest carrier to vegas or denver from omaha though. and much better flight experience than Southwest who usually comes in second on price and last place on screaming kids. frontier also doesn't open up booking until around the time SW does.
-
outside of the great flight experience and animals on the jets though, you should be rooting for that United twice daily imo.

yeah, but every jet will make roughly 4 flights a day. United is the largest airline in the world and services 380 destinations with 700 planes...a lot of which are making only one trans atlantic or trans pacific route a day. Frontier has a very small route map. they barely leave the country.

Don't care which carrier, just want DEN-MHK dailies. So this is a go, or not?
-
How much, if at all, do we think a second airline coming in with dailies or near-dailies to Denver would lower AA's ORD/DFW flight prices into/out of MHK? I mean obviously they wouldn't be competing for the same cities, but AA would no longer have a monopoly. Do we think this would change anything?
Just a hypo questch for insiders/economists on this here goEMAW bbs.

Won't change anything

Paying to fly somewhere that you then have to drive 4 hrs to get where you actually want to go is a horrible idea unless you are visiting a remote island, a remote mountain location, or a developing country.

I'm about to blow some of your minds so sit down and strap in: you can get on another plane after you land at an aiport and go to a completely different place. possibly even vegas.

I drove the 4hr drive from Vegas to Phoenix, and then back to Vegas for the Fiesta Bowl. It's not very fun outside of stopping to stare at the Hoover Dam for a couple minutes.

Some pud Allegiant analyst was putting together reports for new routes in Feb. Saw all the MHK to PHX traffic, didn't realize the bowl game, and here we are.
Either that or they just assume that we will be going to the Fiesta Bowl/CFB playoffs on the regular. Factor that in with a BWW bowl appearance for KU once every 15 years and a new route is born.

Topeka Regional Airport to provide daily flights to Chicago
Service will begin in January; tickets available now
Posted: September 9, 2013 - 10:55am
By Sherman Smith
[email protected]
United Airlines will offer daily, nonstop flights between Topeka and Chicago starting Jan. 7 in an agreement announced Monday morning.
ExpressJet will operate 50-passenger flights with two departures and arrivals daily, seven days per week, at Topeka Regional Airport, the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority announced.
Service is made available with federal and state funds commonly used by small communities with little commercial service. Up to $1.95 million may be paid to the airline over two years.
Tickets are available for immediate purchase. Flights may be booked at www.united.com.

not everyone can airport like we airport
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Topeka official says United Airlines will end flights between the Kansas capital and Chicago on Sept. 2.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority President Eric Johnson made the announcement Wednesday. There have been twice-daily flights since January.
Topeka will have no regularly scheduled commercial flights. Before the United service started, the last commercial service was to Las Vegas through Allegiant Air in 2007.
United reported that Topeka passengers filled 49 percent of the available seats, compared with 86 percent for all of United’s flights to Chicago.
Also, the Topeka airport authority burned through the $1.95 million in state and federal funds it received to guarantee United’s revenues by the end of May, forcing the airline to cover shortfalls after that.

Delta services the F out of the northwest and southeast. great plains/southwest, not so much at all.
example: delta flies to 8 (EIGHT!) different destinations in Montana. however the only flight out of Kansas is Wichita to ATL or MSP.

Few years ago I had 6am flight from mhk, got to the kiosk at 5:31 and they wouldn't let me get a boarding pass (it was 30 min they told me)
Flight was delayed 30 minutes right after that and they still wouldn't let me get my pass. They hadn't even opened up security yet.
I was pretty bummed and then had to pay $75 or something to change to the afternoon flight.

Prob the system that won't let them check people in. I don't think the agents were trying to stick it to you.

if something weird like that happens to you tweet the american airlines twitter team immediately. they are remarkably responsive.

Envoy is transferring the 145's over to Piedmont and Piedmont doesn't have any crew bases west of Virginia. Will MHK be upgraded to the 175 soon?? :Woot:

I flew on one of these with I think it was Frontier a few years ago. I remember it being very comfortable. Would be a huge improvement from ERJ-135's.
-
2 x 2 instead of 2 x 1, i don't think either of those planes are comfortable

comfortable enough for 1 hour flights
-
Seemed like bigger seats. :dunno:
-
175 feels way bigger than a 145. even though both are super tiny I like the 175 way better. tubey part doesn't crowd my head in window seats as much.

A combat veteran with PTSD wasn’t allowed to fly with her service dog. So she sued.

The new expansion must be getting close to opening, we set the jetway a couple of weeks ago.

i get to fly out of manhattan int'l for the first time this week. what's the latest i can walk through the front door for a 3:40pm flight?
-
3:20

3:20
will probably not go to this extreme, but thank you.
-
I doubt you even need a ticket at that crap hole. Just walk right up to the plane, bubs.

bound by the airlines policy, which is typically 30 minutes before takeoff, though that can vary based on location. You could easily do it in an hour, maybe 45 minutes if you wanted to push it. The bottleneck is security, there are 2 lines, often manned by a single TSA agent.
-
They make you wait and do security all at once like 10 min before boarding, it's pud (source is 2 years old)
-
As long as you are checked in and no checked bag, 30min will be plenty.
-
i openly mock people who check bags, no matter the reason
-
'clams i can't stroll into the chicago ritz-carlton with my gym bag.

In January I had an early morning flight. There were 2 flights leaving within 45 minutes of each other, and it actually took about 15-20 minutes for me to get through the line, even with my pre-check to skip the whole shoe thing. It's a bit of a bottleneck at that point, as at least that day they had a single TSA agent manning both lines. He'd process a dozen from the line for the early flight, then let a couple of us go, rinse and repeat.

-
Delayed, missed my connection. Thanks American Air.
Not because of weather, or mechanical. Cancelled the late night flight coming in, so no plane this morning . . .
-
I've had a thousand delayed/cancelled flights in the last month, dax. By United, Southwest, Delta, etc. I just think airplanes suck right now bud.

Oh, man. When you walk away from your bag and no longer have to deal with dragging around your crap, you feel light as a feather and free as a bird.
-
Or maybe you meant at Manhattan Airport. Is it different there?

precisely. it's the best.
i see all these honyocks running around with awkward luggage. not this boy.
-
I don't like to wait for my luggage when I land. I got crap to do.
-
Waiting for baggage is balls. Sitting at the gate with a suitcase in front of me doesn't feel very restrictive.
-
Here's another consideration. You can have 3-4 suitcases, a bunch of carry-on bags, a stroller, only two people with the physical ability to carry much of anything, and other, smaller people who need to be constantly monitored so that they don't go off and do stupid crap.
-
Do you feel checking bags is being attacked right now, Chum? Jesus.
-
Interesting data chumdumpster, I'll take it into consideration
-

Checking bags is always being attacked, WC08. Jesus.

I don't like a large carryon when I have to go to the bathroom while waiting for a flight.
Anything longer than a weekend trip, I'm probably checking a bag. On weekends I can pack light enough and the shorter trip means my time is too valuable to wait for baggage. If I'm traveling with my wife, we're probably checking a bag regardless because she has makeup and crap that can't do a carryon.
I can't imagine traveling with kids. Sounds terrible.
-
I do check a bag when I go to visit my mom. She brings her dog cause California and we just chat and catch up and pet the dog while we wait. It's nice.
-
When will I be able to fly directly into MHK from DEN?

my kids are absolute pros. they have their own backpacks and know the security routine and all that. they toss their crap on the conveyer, wait for their turn through the metal detector, all that. TSA pre is a must have with young kids.
-
Yes, my kids were no longer the weakest link in our traveling party by age 5 - technology is great

Did you know the Topeka airport doesnt have their own TSA? The TSA from MHK have to drive to topeka when needed.
My parents get these free charter flights to small casino areas in Nevada (Elko/Laughlin) that fly out of topeka and make stops at other random small airports on the way.
They were supposed to leave at 730, plane is there and everyone is ready but they are waiting for the TSA workers to arrive from MHK.

My dog pooped in Elko a few months ago.

You have heard or "Churning" to get free airline miles with CC's right? My dad does that with Casinos.
Buy in for a hundred at the craps table, play some minimum bets for a while then cash out chips at the cage.
Take that same hundred from the cage to a different table and play for a while then cash out chips etc etc. At the end of the day the casino shows that he bought in for $1000 when he was actually using the same $200 all day.
The casinos in the Podunk NV towns are desperate for customers during the week and will fly you out and give you free rooms.
-
That's incredible.
-
I have a new plan for my retirement years
-
oh wow

It was a banner year at the old MHK family airport:

LD's @ $15,000/day is quite something. The airport is going to get a pretty serious discount.

If the schedule was tight from the start, I am sure those guys covered their ass and bid some LDs into the project. That is what I always had to do with our airport projects in Wichita. If we managed to get done on time, it was a bonus.

Pretty light TBH. Guess it depends on the size of the contract. Had a 3 mil contract with $6000/day. It didn't matter

Isn't there an airstrip out by Jordy's house where we can land jets carrying our elite recruits?

holy crap, what?
did he have to start in elko or wherever? Or is it like a network of small town casinos?

I, too, am intrigued by this concept.

Those i80 towns in Nevada are like two hotels, a gas station and two casinos.
