Flying Express Jet

This past weekend I went up North to visit some good friends that were in town and I flew. That's right, Express Jet is now offering direct flights between Santa Barbara and Sacramento. It isn't even that expensive. If traveling alone, you would have to pay about $100 in gas, then add in stopping for two or three meals and you're paying $120. I would happily pay $40 more to not have to drive six and a half hours each way, by myself.

The flight itself was great too. It's only an hour long and has great service. ExpressJet's two big selling points are, no layovers and no middle seats. In addition they have leather seats, XM radio on every seat, complimentary headphones, a drink, snack and mint. Maybe it isn't a big deal for some but I love orange juice and they serve Minute Maid 100% real orange juice, not that generic "orange drink" crap full of sugar.

Sorry for sounding like an ExpressJet ad, but that Santa Barbara/Sacramento drive sucks. I am excited :-)
