at FLYi.com. All fares are sold one-way and a Saturday night stay
is NOT required for any fare. Seat assignments can be reserved at
the time of booking and flights are not overbooked. Fares from
Lansing to Washington are low-ranging from just $69 one-way to no
more than $125*. Web users who visit FLYi.com and sign up for a
free membership to the iCLUB frequent flyer program will receive an
additional $25 off their first round-trip. Independence Air
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 Lansing. 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 Lansing to
Washington starting tomorrow, by later this summer Independence Air
will also offer a schedule of easy one-stop connections to over 23
destinations in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest, including
Albany (NY), Atlanta, Boston, Burlington (VT), Charleston (SC),
Charleston (WV), Columbia (SC), Greensboro (NC),
Greenville/Spartanburg (SC), Hartford, Jacksonville, Knoxville,
Manchester (NH), Newark, New York (JFK), Norfolk, Portland (ME),
Providence, Raleigh/Durham, Savannah, Stewart/Newburgh (NY),
Syracuse, White Plains (NY) and more. Flights from Lansing 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
Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAI) is based in
Dulles, VA and employs over 4,100 aviation professionals. This
summer, the company plans to change its name to FLYi, Inc., and its
ticker symbol to FLYI. Independence Air is the low-fare airline
