I'll add my horror story to the list. I took People's
Express from Ithaca, New York to Boston via Newark. It was
"Super Sunday", and I made plans so that I would arrive
hours before the opening kick off. After numerous hassles
and delays, I finally made it into Logan to hear the final
minutes of the first quarter on the car radio. The reason
for the lateness was delays in Newark. I ended up leaving
three flights after the one upon which I was scheduled. My
net savings by flying People's over some reputable carrier
was about twenty bucks. Whoops...I had to check a bag.
Make that about eighteen bucks.
<FLAME ON>
So the moral of the story is if it's worth taking the chance
of being faced with hours of frustrations and inferior ser-
vice for the sake of a few dollars, then fly Peoples. If
you want to save even more money and have a more enjoyable
trip with fewer delays and hassles, take the train.
<FLAME OFF>
To be fair, there is one good thing I can say about People's
Express. They spared me the agony of having to sit through
the Superbowl.
