In response to overwhelming requests from passengers, and in an effort to keep its business at CHO, The Market has moved its entrance from the rotunda lobby to a new door beyond the screening checkpoint. This will allow The Market to better serve its customers awaiting flights, allowing the sale of coffee and beverages and Virginia wines to those waiting for their flights. This will also assist travelers with the continued TSA ban on liquids larger than 3 oz not allowed through the checkpoint, as they will be able to purchase forgotten or forsaken items once thru screening. Early morning travelers who rush to make it thru screening to find no coffee? No more-The Market will be eagerly awaiting with hot coffee, and other morning amenities. The Market is only accessible on the secure side of the checkpoint beginning at 4:30 a.m. (note earlier opening time!). Vending will still be available in the baggage claim area.

Jeff Brill wanted to take his parents to their nephew’s college graduation in Pensacola in May. He excitedly called me, noting he purchased FIVE roundtrip tickets for $198 each ($247 after taxes) with only 8 seats left on the plane. WOW!
Today, a friend of my daughter’s called for help in booking a flight back to school (of course the week she needs to be there), the closest airport being Albany International. Her last minute fare? $278 ($322 after taxes).
Not bad at all…...definately the time to book vacation plans before spring/summer rates.
