Here is a challenge to lure NY kids to Tuscaloosa:
Correct me if I am wrong:
- Bama is far from the airport in Birmingham (expensive Uber + adds time)
- Flights from NY only directly go out from LGA (infrequent, airport under construction)
- Flights from anywhere else in area require transfer
- Expensive flight
- Door to door its a long trip from NY to Bama
Thus it is not easy or cheap for kids from ny to get home for breaks or parents to visit.
That’s tough for many parents. Especially if it’s much easier to get to many other cities nationwide with cheaper, more frequent direct flights for other schools closer to the airport…
