Jacksonville takes 747's and even 767's and is a newly enlarged facility. Main hub for Delta, and hub for Continental, American and United. Orlando to Jax.is like the drive to Perry from Atlanta. The fact is that most large main hub cities can't do what we ask for facilities for the dogs when we get there. So it's a catch 22. Springfield is the same price almost as Jax. and I am sorry if that was misunderstood. The surface is the same so we do not need sod. Springfield is in a circle that is convenient to Cinn., Cleveland, and Columbus airports and very driveable for the majority members.
