Regional airports
I really think when flying you should consider skipping the large hub airports and utilize the hidden gems that are the smaller regional airports. These smaller airports are great for several reasons. First you do not get stuck waiting for airport security in lines that you would find in Sea Tac, LAX, or O'Hare International. You will get a thorough search but it takes half the time getting through it and that is nice. Better deals in flying, there are a ton of airlines that are moving away from the super airports and going to the regional ones and can offer you a better ticket price. A prime example is Alaska Air and Allegiant Air flying out of Bellingham International Airport (located between Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia Canada). Alaska Airlines have started flying non-stop to Hawaii (which I can't wait to take advantage of), and Allegiant Air flies to San Diego or Las Vegas (their hub and to points beyond). Check out your local regional airport to see where your travels might take you.
