You used to get credit for that trip too! Easy way to get your Frequent Flyer up. Ellington had free parlking, so people who lived south of Houston could park free, check their luggage without a wait and get through security in a small airport, then they got ff credit. It was awesome!!! And, it takes so long to get in and out of IAH that the extra hour was made up by hopping right in your car!

There were flights between the NYC airports. Which are maybe 10 of 15 miles apart. But, I guess if you had a connection from another airport, it could be worth it. I don't know what the cost would have been though. The other service that came to mind has just been discontinued (for obvious reasons.) The flight was a 10 minute hop between LNK and OMA which are about a 45 mile drive apart. That drive is all Interstate 80 going 80 mph! The entire flight was from Denver, CO to McCook, NE to Kearney,NE to Grand Island, NE to Lincoln,NE to Omaha, NE to Kansas City, MO.

How about a 747 from oakland to san francisco 8 air miles.. Uniteds maintaice base is in oakland and they actually flew passengers from the two cities, and then the plane flew on to tokyo or somewhere in asia.. It was a way to reposition aircraft when they came in from long flight for serviceing,,, the total flyt time was 10 minutes,,.
