What I know about Fort Myers flights

For those of you who missed it, Chicago Rockford International Airport could be close to announcing a new warm-weather destination.

Bob O’Brien won’t say the airline or the destination, but see if you can line up the hints:

1. O’Brien said it’s a “southern” destination.

2. O’Brien said it’s a destination more than 2,500 people have emailed him about recently. He’s previously said 2,500 people have emailed him about Fort Myers during a public push to get flights there.

3. Whenever he talks about Fort Myers, he is careful to say “the Fort Myers area” implying that service there might be to an alternative airport.

4. He said if flights to this new destination do well, we could get flights to Myrtle Beach next spring from the same airline.

I’m sure some of you already know who it is from these hints. I can’t confirm or deny at this point, but if my hunch is right, it would be an interesting addition.
