I have a trip to Little Rock in a few weeks and don't want to drive--direct flight is nice.
However, I want a reference 1st.

Any OBer's?

You're going to "glo" when they miss the runway.

I took it last week for a few meetings in Arkansas. Pretty legit. Was there right after 9 am and was home right after 6 in the evening.

Anything to not have to drive 16 hours round-trip.

30 seat plane? How legit is this? Great for business travel if this is how it seems...

That's what it's designed for. Making business travel between NO, Shreveport, Little Rock, and Memphis more convenient.

Found a pic of the interior here.

That's the Saab interior on the plane I took. They have a few of these and I believe one other plane to start.

Basically 2 seats on one side and 1 on the other. Felt like a Delta or American First Class seat.

Silver uses those planes as well. A touch cramped but not too bad overall.

I thought these planes were familiar. Definitely not as cramped as Silver though. Guess they took out a few rows and spaced them.

I flew ELO Airlines once. The in-flight entertainment sucked.

LOL. Wasn't there an OT thread about that Soul Glo guy being an Uber driver in NOLA?

This is great, I want to kill myself every time I drive to Shreveport, and actually turned down a client in Arkansas because the best way to get there was a 7 hour drive (vs attempting to use connecting flights which took a total of 8 hours anyway).

Thanks OP for sharing.

Singing Don't Bring Me Down wasn't the best choice for a set list

Had no idea these flights existed, let alone having great prices.

Nola- Shreveport, Little Rock, or Memphis is $155 roundtrip

Plus tax/fees, bro, but that looks like it's a promo to start off.

Regardless, I'd toss way more at that. When I have to go to Arkansas, which thank God is only every few months, my Delta flights are are 5 times that.

Also crushed a few PJs coffees in-flight to get me through the day.

Oh you right. It's around $200 after clicking through.

That drive sounds pretty miserable to do often, plus it's still cheaper than delta or having to deal with ATL
