Why is IND airport so boring, when its one of the best raited airports?
I hear a lot about how great indianapolis international airport is super nice and quick to get through. I live in the indy area and I can easily say that that is true. It takes maximum 30 - 45 minutes from parking lot to gate on a good day.
But it's soo boring. You can't fly overseas without stopping at JFK or SFO. The only airlines that normally fly there are delta, united, American, southwest, Frontier, and formerly Spirit. And if your interested on what airplane model you fly on, it really only the A320 family, 737 family, and CRJs or similar. You can't even fly on a 757 200 or LITERALLY any widebody... why though?
I'm going to SFO in September and booked a flight with neat models, united 757-300 and 777-200. But i have to go from IND TO ORD on some scrappy CRJ or something like that. THEN the 757 from ORD TO SFO. And for the way back, 777 from SFO TO IAH. Then another tiny plane from IAH to IND.
I dont understand why they do this. I see cargo 747s quite often. And cargo 757 and 767s all the time. So they have the runway capacity but don't feel using it for passengers I guess... :(
