Your headline invokes Gertrude Stein’s famous quote.

Again, cheaper to get a ride to Crescent City and fly one way to the bay area other than pay $310-$350 one way out of Arcata. So frustrating !!

They should come to ACV too with those prices. Give United a reason to have more realistic fares when trying to fly out of here. It’s insane that leaving out of a tiny place like Crescent City you can fly to the Bay Area and back for $138 total (Contours regular price, the promotional price is only $98 round trip) but with Untied its $415 for the exact same round trip on the same days of travel with more than 60 days advance notice. Why do we get so screwed with airline fares here?

What the press release does not mention is that they are getting more than $3 million in subsidies to run this flight.

That may be true, but it just really sucks that we have to drive 90 miles to a little town with 1/5 our collective population of the area around ACV to get an air fare at less than 1/3 the price we get.

You’d think a BIG city like Eureka would attract more than one airline compared to such a “little” town. What is the population of metropolitan Eureka anyway?

Just checked Priceline and Orbitz. On both, a flight at 11:12am out of Arcata to SFO is $308 one way and round trip is $515.

Looks like a fun little jet to fly on. And not many of this model have crashed.https://aviation-safety.net/photos/displayphoto.php?id=20091207-0&vnr=2&kind=C
