#2 I'll Be in Paris Tonight

NYC-area residents are spoiled with 3 major international airports within close proximity. However, the Miami area is serviced both by Miami Int'l Airport as well as Fort Lauderdale's airport, which is a $4 train or $18 shuttle fare away. People always complain about increasing fares, less routes, and more in the airline industry. Having more than one airport nearby limits monopolies on a market. There are way more options, assuming the consumer knows how to use the internet and is willing to take a little extra time to find the right flight.

FLL is freezing and I think it's so tourists feel warm the moment they exit the airport. It also cracks me up how FLL is the designated tourist airport. Semi-related, I can never find anything to eat as it's chock full of American artificial standard food. Not that MIA is much better, but it's a bit bigger and there are some new wings. MIA seems to be filled with folks going to/from The Caribbean and South America and are just living their lives aka not on holiday.  FLL also has discount airlines such as Spirit and Southwest. I don't see why people are anti budget airlines. It's soooo much cheaper and I think some of the planes on Spirit and Southwest are newer and cleaner than American or United.

Anyway, I'm taking off to visit Amanda and crew in Europe land.  I found a reasonably priced flight on Air France at my preferred times straight out of Miami Int'l.  Thus, two nearby international airports is another thing I like about Miami.
