flights are now available for sale on the Independence Air website
at FLYi.com. All fares are sold one-way and a Saturday night stay
is NOT required for any fare. Seat assignments can be reserved at
the time of booking and flights are not overbooked. Fares from
Rochester to Washington are low -- ranging from just $59 one- way
to no more than $103*. Web users who visit FLYi.com and sign up for
a free membership to the iCLUB frequent flyer program will receive
an additional $25 off their first round-trip. Independence Air
Chairman and CEO Kerry Skeen said, "The strong positive reaction
we're getting to the introduction of Independence Air is a clear
signal that people are really excited about welcoming a competitive
new low- fare airline to Rochester. We've said from the very
beginning that Independence Air would challenge the status quo by
creating a new kind of air travel experience that is fast, easy and
always low-fare -- even when you have to travel at the last minute.
Now, starting tomorrow, we finally get to make good on that
promise." The Independence Air hub at Washington Dulles will be the
largest low-fare hub in America by later this summer -- with 300
daily departures. In addition to non-stop service from Rochester to
Washington starting tomorrow, by later this summer Independence Air
will also offer a schedule of easy one-stop connections to over 23
destinations in Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest, including
Atlanta, Boston, Charleston (SC), Charleston (WV), Chicago,
Columbia (SC), Columbus (OH), Dayton, Greensboro (NC),
Greenville/Spartanburg (SC), Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Knoxville,
Louisville, Nashville, Newark, New York (JFK), Norfolk, Pittsburgh,
Portland (ME), Providence, Raleigh/Durham, Savannah and more.
Flights from Rochester to Washington will be aboard newly-upgraded
50-seat iJETs with all-leather slimline seats that provide more
legroom than ever before. These aircraft offer several distinct
advantages for travelers: -- Fast boarding and deplaning -- even
the last row clears in just a few minutes -- No middle seats --
everyone gets either an aisle or window seat -- Planeside carry-on
baggage check-in -- leave your carry-ons at the doorway of the
aircraft and they'll be there waiting for you when you arrive
