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 Jacksonville to Washington are low -- ranging from just $79 one-way
to no more than $178*. Web users who visit FLYi.com and sign up for a free

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 Jacksonville. 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 Jacksonville to Washington starting tomorrow, by later
this summer Independence Air will also offer a schedule of easy one-stop
connections to 25 destinations, including Albany (NY), Boston, Buffalo,
Burlington (VT), Charleston (WV), Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus (OH), Dayton,
Detroit, Hartford, Indianapolis, Lansing, Louisville, Manchester (NH), Newark,
New York (JFK), Norfolk, Pittsburgh, Portland (ME), Providence, Rochester (NY),
Stewart/Newburgh (NY), Syracuse and White Plains (NY).
Flights from Jacksonville 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
