Greensboro NC, Roanoke VA Smaller regional airports are often underutilized because of high fares and limited direct flights. We are booked for 4 flights with Southwest this year and will drive 3 hours each way while passing these close to home options. It is easy to track traffic and connecting flights for each airport and know these are considered in expansion strategies. I hope data is available on missed opportunities for the regional airports who are actually first choice but often lose to the major hubs hours away. Our local airport pleads for use so that more airlines/flights will come, but while flights are multiple times the cost and connecting, we drive to DC or Raleigh. I do not love that we are part of the problem.
