A breath of fresh air.

I hope this picks up and more n more non-stop flights to European destinations are offered. Especially to London. That will be great.

Previously, WOW tried it's best. The ticket prices were dropped to a $99 one way to Reykjavik - and even then - WOW had to close down it's business at Lambert.

Not sure what the EFF is wrong with St. Louisians that they don't wish to travel internationally or we simply don't have enough need for business travel in St. Louis?

There has been a big need for a long time. The St. Louis business community has been working on this for a while. Bayer made a big push for it to be Germany…

WOW went bankrupt, not much to do with St. Louis.

We bought tickets right after the direct flights became available. A lot of tickets had already been sold. Everyone I know travels internationally. Frankfurt has a great deal of short flights to the rest of Europe, so it is a great start.

Yea, the local St. Louis business leadership has been pushing for this, specifically Bayer…which i imagine they’ll love…especially after they shutdown their corporate flight department last year, giving their leadership team access to international travel destinations on their own schedule…
