Flew Contour Air from Plattsburgh to Dulles recently. Even with the drive to Plattsburgh from Burlington, this was a better trip than average by a lot. We parked a few feet from the Airport's main door, paying ten dollars a day. There was virtually no line, and the gate agent was great. The gate at Dulles was close to the train, which took us right to baggage claim.
The flight itself was quick and without incident. The seat pitch (distance between my knees and the seat in front of me) was ridiculously spacious by contemporary standards. The plane was far from new, but only had a small number (I think ten) of rows (one and two seats per row).
Overall, everything was easy and efficient. We will fly contour on future visits to the DC area. read more
