The only way I'd take a LCC into an "alternate airport" would be if I lived closer to the alternate than major.
For someone like you who is commuting home, it makes a ton of sense. For typical business/leisure travel it rarely is convenient, and like many folks I'm astounded at the level of inconvenience people will go through to save $50 on a flight.
- owenversteeg 9y agoI often go to alternate airports. For me, that's Brussels Zaventem as well as Eindhoven. To both, it's about an hour and a half train ride: quiet, smooth, free Wifi. Versus maybe a 30 minute train ride from my apartment to the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. The price difference for my extra hour on a train is about $120-$150. I'd say earning $150 an hour for sitting in a quiet smooth train with free Wifi is almost certainly worth it, unless you're the kind of person who hates trains.
- davidgh 9y agoI love the alternate airports. What I lose in being less conveniently located I more than make up in arriving at a generally much smaller, less busy, and quieter facility.
