BATON ROUGE - The Baton Rouge Airport will soon be offering nonstop flights to Florida and Texas.
Via Airlines has announced it will launch new nonstop service between BTR and Orlando Sanford International Airport in Florida and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas. The nonstop flights will start on September 13.
According to a release, the nonstop flights will operate three times a week to and from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and two times each week to and from Orlando Sanford International. Passengers will be flying on 50 seat Embraer ERJ-145 jets.

Considering that it takes 2 tanks of gas to drive to Orlando at around $35/tank, it's basically a $60 fee to save about 10 hours of drive time. That's a steal!

Same here, except I am driving all the way to Austin next week. Going to hit up Fredericksburg and visit a friend in New Braunfels too.
