If the package tour flights to Ireland from MidAmerica click, then it's likely the flights will expand to include flights to Germany via Shannon, Nay said.

MidAmerica links to a broken website. This just seems shady as HELL. Who's the carrier? Is the flight direct? Why at MidAmerican and not Lambert? All questions they can't answer ON THEIR OWN PAGE? Yeah - I'll pay for a real flight thanks.

Just post info - take time to read and if you want to "verify" - take the time to do it! Don't post statements like:

I posted information that was made available to me. If you think t is "shaddy"... then call and find out the information like I did.
According to this article, the air travel will be on 757's with North American Airlines, which is owned by the same parent company as ATA and seems to do mostly charter business.DeBaliviere wrote:Sounds like a travel agency, so who flies the planes?

This notion always gets me. You essentially have the same amount of personal space on a 757 as you would on a 747 or 777 in economy seating. A widebody aircraft simply adds more people and an additional aisle for economy passengers. The cabin may 'feel' larger, but the amount of space you have alloted for yourself is identical.
Eh, as the poster above me noted, it's a psychological thing from a bigger cabin. The space that you physically occupy may be the same, but in a widebody the walls seem further away from you and that means a lot to some people.Billkn wrote:

MASCOUTAH --
Flights out of MidAmerica St. Louis Airport to Shannon, Ireland will not take off this summer as proposed, according to information from the Tourism Bureau of Southwestern Illinois.
Deirdre Kenny, owner of Maryland-based Kenny Tours, cited several economic factors for the change in plans, mainly difficulty in securing a carrier, the weak dollar and higher fuel prices.
Kenny Tours also suffered a financial loss after tour operators in Ireland, who originally agreed to buy 25 percent of the flight seats, offered to pay for 5 percent of the seats come contract time.
