I've flown a few times now between Fort Myers and Pittsburgh and Cleveland. It's pretty much like any other airline. I haven't had any problems yet, and they've always been very good in making sure my family has seats together. For some reason, we're always assigned separate seats, but that's been sorted out at the gate, as no one wants to sit next to an unattended 2 year old.

I have flown with USA 3000 several times to Mexico and the Dominican Republic as part of a charter flight. They were great. On time, seats more comfortable than some other airlines, and they actually served meals.

Just a tip - USA 3000 does not assign seats ahead of time and you are not able to check in and print out a boarding pass from home. You would have to get to the airport really early to get a window or an aisle. They do not tell you on the website but you can call the 800 number 24 hours before your flight and for $5 they will preassign you a seat. I would recommend doing this.

They have always let you get a seat assignment in advance if you are booking directly with them. If you are flying a charter, then you can't get a seat assignment until you check in at the airport.

What is their URL and how do you find out their schedule, prices, where they fly from, etc? Thanks!

www.USA3000.com. The flight schedules are on there.

Maybe if you make your reservations over the phone you can get a seat assignment ahead of time, but if you book through their website, there is no way to get a pre-assigned seat. I've seen them separate young kids from their mother because they refused to assign the seats ahead of time and the family didn't get to the airport early enough for three seats together.

On their website, there is an option to pay an add'l $5 to get an assigned seat at the time of booking.
