I intend to try to fly on Delta in the future as they & American are the only ones flying large airliners into Huntsville. They're less likely to have numerous flights on numerous days @ 100% full.

Or, I'll be flying out of BNA--my hometown.

Remember when Dulles was built, and before the days of jet bridges, Dulles had "people movers" that would take passengers between the terminal and the plane? Apparently they're still in use, a little, nowadays: https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/1...people-movers/

One reason for small/medium size planes that you mentioned is that it allows more, and thus more convenient, flights to and from a destination. We won't see 777's, or even Airbus 320's, flying passengers here anytime in the near future. Large planes don't fly anywhere in the state except for cargo.

I was in the Brentwood store a few weeks ago, and it's an incredible store. Very much needed in this somewhat active real estate market.

Where's it going to be located in Madison?

The City of Madison welcomes Floor & Décor and Urban Home Market to Madison's growing retail portfolio. Filling the space that previously homed Publix on Hwy 72, Floor & Décor will occupy the former Publix and two adjacent suites. The space will provide approximately 61,000 square feet of completely remodeled retail development. Floor & Decor is expected to open by Summer of 2023.

Thanks. Must've been a Publix that relocated to Clift Farms.

That’s really not that surprising at least for the short term
Almost 80 apartment complexes were either under construction or in the planning stages in Huntsville at the end of 2022.

The pricing is hit and miss. Often the schedule is limited to once a day (to Boston or Austin) which may not line up with travel plans. So seems great but upon review, limited advantage.

We never park (I don't fly); I drop my wife, she comes back a week later or so.

BNA has almost always better flights than Hsv.

Thanks for update. Thought their only Nashville store was in Antioch. Saves 20 minutes on drive…
