….know that Era Aviation’s commuter coupons are the best deal in town. Purchase a book of eight one-way coupons. The tickets are fully transferable–that means you can share them with friends, family members and co-workers at the very last minute.  Although space is limited, there is no advance reservation necessary. The coupons are valid for a full year. Can’t beat it, IMHO. The prices include all taxes, fees and other charges. Purchase by Oct. 13, 2008.

We were waiting when the New York carrier would make an entrance here in Alaska. Our friends at Era Aviation snapped this shot out at Anchorage International Airport.

Um, okay. This one’s a charter flight. The “McCain-Palin” logo on the side is a dead giveaway. First Fairbanks, now Anchorage. And isn’t that E-190 a sleek-looking aircraft? See that bump on the top of the plane about 2/3 down the fuselage? I think it’s part of the hardware for the seatback entertainment system. Learn more online.
