is NOT required for any fare. Seat assignments can be reserved at
the time of booking and flights are not overbooked. Fares from

no more than $92*. Web users who visit FLYi.com and sign up for a

Chairman and CEO Kerry Skeen said, "The strong positive reaction
we're getting to the introduction of Independence Air is a clear
signal that people are really excited about welcoming a competitive
new low- fare airline to Norfolk. We've said from the very
beginning that Independence Air would challenge the status quo by
creating a new kind of air travel experience that is fast, easy and
always low-fare-even when you have to travel at the last minute.
Now, starting tomorrow, we finally get to make good on that
promise." The Independence Air hub at Washington Dulles will be the
largest low-fare hub in America by later this summer -- with 300
daily departures. In addition to non-stop service from Norfolk to
Washington starting tomorrow, by later this summer Independence Air
will also offer a schedule of easy one-stop connections to 33
destinations, including Albany (NY), Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo,
Burlington (VT), Charleston (SC), Charleston (WV) Chicago,

Greensboro (NC), Greenville/Spartanburg (SC), Hartford,
Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Knoxville, Lansing, Louisville,
Manchester (NH), Nashville, Newark, New York (JFK), Pittsburgh,
Portland (ME), Providence, Rochester (NY), Savannah,
Stewart/Newburgh (NY), Syracuse and White Plains (NY). Flights from
Norfolk to Washington will be aboard newly-upgraded 50-seat iJETs
with all-leather slimline seats that provide more legroom than ever
before. These aircraft offer several distinct advantages for
travelers: --Fast boarding and deplaning -- even the last row
clears in just a few minutes --No middle seats -- everyone gets
either an aisle or window seat --Planeside carry-on baggage
check-in -- leave your carry-ons at the doorway of the aircraft and
they'll be there waiting for you when you arrive Parent company
