They changed their structure, they took away none jet option and many others. SO now they determine if you fly none jet or 2 connection. Not worth the savings

We just got a decent price for the Venetian.... first time using it, but I think we will use it again.

what are you worried about, there are only a few airlines in the world that don't use jets exclusively and those are probably in south america or africa.

Bzzz...wrong answer. Many major airlines use turbo props for trips to smaller airports and for short connection flights. I know for a fact Northwest uses them because I've been on them.
 

I have never flown on a None Jet - my family is scared of flying (all of them except me). :(

Turbo prop airplanes are quite fast and quiet. In most cases much quieter than 737's.
It's standard propeller airplanes that are teh suk.

Well if you think about it you are a statistic whenever you fly. No matter if you die or not. ;)

American Airlines uses them also, it's their Eagle line. And they are scarier than hell to fly in.

bzzz turboprops use jet engines and are just as safe.
