We used the local airport yesterday morning to hop on down to Florida. I love the ease of it. Ive posted two photos of the ENITRE departure area for the whole airport. As you can see, the security scan is in the background and there are barely enough seats for one plane load of departing passengers. They do, of course, though have a bar. haha Mercer County airport, known as Trenton/Princeton is about 15 minutes from our home. It is very convenient. I urge all to look into local airports. Thiings are always changing. We drove ourselves and parked within very short walking distance of the entrance. Parking is $8.00 a day. We had checked in on-line the day before, so all we did was drop our bag. That took less than 1 minute. There are virtually no lines because they only handle one deaprting plane at a time. It is so much nicer than the major airports. There is only one airline currently flying out of this airport, Frontier. So far, we and multiple family members and friends have had a great experience with Frontier. They fly to Punta Cana now, deaprting from Trenton, with a connection for the intrnational part. Unfortunately the flight to Punta Cana is only seasonal. Ive tried to book it for May and have not been successful on their site, yet when I caled them, they said they were showing plenty of availability. Il look into it further when I get home. For now, Im going to enjoy the beach in Fort Lauderdale. Check to see if there is a local airport near you before your next trip. Times are changing and there are more and more of them. We got a great price for this trip too! /we had to walk from the trminal to the plane and do an outside boarding. The walk was about 20 feet. When you arrive at this airport you depart the plane like in large airports via sky ramps.
