(Continued from previous part...)

Cubana (http://www.cubana.cu/) flies from Havana to points in Europe and the Americas. Schedules, destinations, and fleet info. I wonder where they get the spare parts for their DC-10 and 727.

Delta (http://www.delta.com) has fares, schedules, on-line ticketing, and flight ops. Currently offering up to 1000 extra FF miles for tickets bought on-line.

Firstair (http://www.firstair.ca/), a Canadian regional airline, has schedule info. (Finally, you can get from North America to Greenland without flying through Iceland.)

The current incarnation of Frontier (http://www.frontierairlines.com/) is a low-fare line with a hub at Denver flying to points in the US and Mexico. Site has reservations, flight ops.

Great Plains Airlines (http://www.gpair.com/) is a low-fare carrier with a hub in St Louis.

Hawaiian (http://www.hawaiianair.com/) flies within Hawaii, to the South Pacific, and to the U.S. west coast. Bankrupt but still operating.

Independence Air (http://www.flyi.com/) is the new name for Atlantic Coast Airlines, ran out of money and stopped operating as of Jan 5.

Interstate Jet (http://www.flyijet.com/) is a low fare public charter line flying from Atlanta to a few cities in the east central US. Schedule and fare info (much of which is way out of date) and a broken online reservation page.

Jet Blue (http://www.jetblue.com), an airline that may yet bring sane airfares to upstate New York, has an elegant web site with routes, fares, and on-line ticket sales, Don't miss the rotating 3-D Airbus A320, even though it does make Internet Exploder crash.

Jetsgo (http://www.jetsgo.com) is a low-cost Canadian carrier that was eating Air Canada's lunch until they suddently stopped operating in March.

LIAT (http://www.liatairline.com), who island-hop in the Caribbean, has a web site with reservations and frequent flyer info, except no matter what airports and dates I put into their res form, it says there's no flights on those dates.

Maxjet (http://www.maxjet.net) is another entry in the premium low-cost niche, offering one daily all business class roundtrip between New York JFK and London Stansted starting Nov 1, and promises of other routes (most likely Dulles, where their HQ is). Online reservations and seat selection, list of goodies at each end of the flight (shower and massage, anyone?) Conditions of carriage require that passengers over the age of two must wear shoes.

Midwest Airlines (http://www.midwestairlines.com/), formerly Midwest Express, has routes, schedules, and fares. Also seat maps and a surprising number of missing pages, like the one that's supoosed to tell you what other airlines are in their frequent flyer program. On the ``signature'' flights, the ones that don't go to vacation places, the chocolate chip cookies are still free.

New England Airlines (http://www.block-island.com/flybi/sumsched.html) flies between Block Island RI and Westerly RI. Schedule and fare info, reservations via an e-mail form.

Northwest Airlines (http://www.nwa.com) has schedule, fares, reservations, and flight ops, using the Orbitz booking and search engine. Weekly Cybersaver specials offered, book through the web site for the lowest price. On-line store offers a $12.99 plush moose and a $279 1/100 scale 747-400. That's only $10/inch!

Pan Am (http://www.flypanam.com) flies 727s has its hub at Portsmouth NH and flies between the northestern US and Canada and Florida and the Caribbean. It's owned by the parent company of the Boston and Maine railroad and has no connection to the old Pan Am other than buying the logo. Online schedules, reservations, and destination info.

Song (http://www.flysong.com) is Delta's low-cost airline within an airline. Their web site is all fluffy and beautiful and offers the same stuff as everyone else, schedules, reservations, flight ops, and online checkin. For some unfathomable reason, Delta's regular web site doesn't include Song flights.

Southwest Airlines (http://www.iflyswa.com) has schedules and fares, and now reservations and ticketless ticketing. The graphics are still too big, but the site loads faster than it used to. Mailing list for weekly specials.

Spirit (http://www.spiritair.com) is a low-cost airline that flies between Florida and the northeast and midwest, and also from Detroit and Chicago to California. Has schedules, reservations, and weekly "syber" specials. You can change the name on any ticket for $25. Wow!

Sun Country (http://www.suncountry.com/), a regional airline headquartered in Minneapolis, is once again running scheduled service on new 737s from MSP to places all over the US and nearby warm-weather vacation spots.

Ted (http://www.flyted.com) is United's low-cost airline within an airline. Their previous attempt, Shuttle by United, failed dismally, but what the heck, maybe the laws of economics are different this year. The web site is United's with minor cosmetic changes. Either the United version or the Ted version shows you the same flights and fares. Join the Ted Club which appears to be Milage Plus and a maiing list with special deals.
