Tomorrow, Southwest Airlines will release the April schedule of flights on
their internet site www.southwest.com <http://www.southwest.com> .  I
definitely recommend you check out the Internet specials the airline offers
as they can really save money if you're planning to attend the Phrozen Phour
from out of town.
 
Southwest flies direct from BWI, Chicago, Kansas City, Nashville, Orlando
and Louisville.  Moreover, a single connection through these cities can get
you service from Omaha, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, St. Louis, and the
left coast.  Unfortunately, they do not serve Colorado, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota or Alaska.  However, rumor shows that they will
begin service at the end of march from either Albany, Buffalo or Rochester.
 
 
US Air's low fare carrier Metrojet also flies into Providence.  The
combination of the two airlines makes for cheaper fares to the airport only
about 15 miles away from downtown. I totally recommend flying into
Providence rather than Logan Airport in Boston - the only place I know where
you wait on the runway more than you spend time flying into your
destination.
 
Here's a question for someone local to Providence to answer.  Marriott
announced construction on a Courtyard hotel located close to the Civic
Center complex scheduled for April opening.  Any update locally on if the
construction will permit occupancy for the Phrozen Phour?  These hotels
usually provide an excellent value, especially if situated so close to the
arena.
 
Thanks in advance for any aid here.
 
'til then. Carpe Diem.
 
Make it a Great Day.
