Ms. Piggy, what people are saying is that this post isn't terribly helpful to a lot of people because (a) many won't read it because of the silly header and (b) many more won't know what KOA stands for or how to find it. There are MANY goofy airport codes (EWR-Newark, MSY-New Orleans, ORD-Chicago, etc) and not everyone can so easily figure them out. I appreciate P.'s post but a few more keystrokes would have made it much more helpful.

Adam, I see your point, but wouldn't it have been just as easy to phrase comments politely, as you just did, instead of regressing to childish name-calling? p was, after all, only trying to be helpful!

Thanks Adam.<BR>Ms. Piggy, If you read carefully you will notice that Shannon and Bob were the ones to really "incite" people by saying how lame we are for not knowing what KOA stands for and for being too lazy to figure it out! <BR>As Adam said - a couple more keystrokes babe and don't call us idiots for not looking up the "helpful" info you posted!

xxxwill you get over it already I was responding to DD, perhaps this is you . Think you are the one that needs to read carefully look at the entire thread, people were more bent on slaming instead of being happy for the find.

Does not seem like anyone is traveling anymore. This time last year people would have been very excited about this news. And yes last year there were enough seasoned travelers on board not to nicpick over the header or the airport code. Wake me up when the economy is in a healthy state again, please. Thanks for trying p. I do feel better this was for KOA and not LIH.

OK p., since we're assuming everyone not only knows all airfport codes and exactly how to figure them out, what's the fare from BDL to KOA? Thanks so much.
