ATLANTA is DELTA'S MAIN HUB! You don't even have to worry about getting flights into ATLANTA WITH DELTA. It is SO easy. That's the point!!! It's a main hub!!! Salt Lake City is a main hub....EASY Denver is a main hub....EASY Dallas Ft Worth is a main hub....EASY Chicago is a main hub.....EASY. Houston is a main hub.....EASY ( but expensive as it is Continental's main hub ) Minn. St. Paul is a main hub for Frontier and Northwest....kind of EASY...but not a great area......U.S.Air is not available at quite a few Airports.......not so easy. Please........we are not being unreasonable....The point is we are asking for easy access to the National with our dogs from EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE...... not just Seattle or Reno or whatever. It seems like a "reasonable" request?? Last time we found a good one like the ones you are posting about for Delta to go into Columbus.....it was such a good flight that everyone was using it and they were "bumping" dogs like crazy in Atlanta...... I hope you are right and it works. The point of course is not Charlotte or Beaumont....they are "done deals." We are bringing this up so that the future Nationals are more drivable and easier access for flying.......that's IT......pure and simple. Every year........... we DO LOOK!!!? The Canadian National is easy to get to in Toronto. So far it is easier getting to with dogs than many places in the U.S..... no reason to complain.
