Niagara Falls? Jackson Hole? You decide

12 comments February 13th, 2008

Members of Chicago Rockford International Airport’s MilesAhead loyalty rewards club just got e-mailed an enticing question:

If we were to gain “seasonal, non-stop jet service, with an average fare of approximately $100 each way, which destination is most appealing to you and your friends for “RFD” to possibly gain: Niagara Falls, NY, or Jackson Hole, Wy?

Interesting. Niagara Falls has been spoken of before as a target destination, but Jackson Hole is a new one. It’s a ski resort capital, and pretty popular. I’ll be looking into both these possibilities.

UPDATE: Talked to Executive Director Bob O’Brien, who said an airline is interested in one or both destinations, as well as others. He’s also talking to other airlines. He won’t say much, other than the potential airline is not now serving Jackson Hole (so it’s not SkyWest, Delta, United or American).

FURTHER UPDATE: Can’t get the poll link to work right. Please vote by commenting to this post - choose one, Niagara Falls or Jackson Hole. I’ll report results to the airport officials, and won’t report your names or information.
