Travel Website Survey Reveals Most Popular – CBS Philadelphia

Soul Tryout Soul Tryouts · Conservative Celebs · Victoria’s Secret. By Jim Melwert. PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – In a survey, 1000 air travelers were asked their favorite place to sit – not factoring in extra leg room of exit rows – and the most sought-after seat on a standard aircraft is 6A, a window seat at the front of the plane. In fact, 60-percent say they prefer the window to the aisle. Travelers at Philly International Airport tend to agree. “Oh just to see what’s going on outside.”

Opposition Mounts Against Phila Airport Expansion

January 23rd, 2012 No comments

Airlines and neighbors alike are starting to rally against the pending Phila Airport Expansion Plans. Personally I think its ridiculous to expect to move a company like UPS out of their current state of the art facility. Its crazy, and what a waste of money. Not only will it drive prices up, but it will force too many people to have to move out of their present homes and businesses. Its just plain dumb. Leave your comments below after reading these other stories.

February 10th, 2010 No comments

All flights in and out of Philadelphia International Airport are cancelled today. If you have tickets already, call your travel agent, or call the airline before you go to the airport. If you have a park sleep fly package booked, calll your hotel to change your reservation as they will be working with limited resources as well.

As of 2pm the state has shut down the Blue Route (I-476) , the Schyukill Expressway (I-76), and the Vine Street Expressway (I-676).

The roads are getting bad so if you don’t have to go out, don’t. Cars are getting stuck everywhere, even on major roads like Route 1 there have been reports of spin outs and accidents.

As of 5pm Septa is cancelling all surface bus service until further notice. So if you’re scheduled to work tonight, call your employer before heading out.

Stay home, stay safe.

Update:

All Philadelphia Public and Parochial Schools will be closed on Thursday, 2/11 because of the storm. If you live in another school district, stay tuned to KYW news radio, 1060 on your AM dial or 94.1 HD-2 on your hd radio.
