Columbia SC Airport Becomes an International Hub!

Hello Friends,

I want to apologize for not contributing to this blog in the last weeks. Unlike what you hear in the news, our real estate market is strong and healthy, thus my team and I are grateful for what we have. We are fortunate to make in impact on people's lives by helping them achieve their real estate goals.

So, onto another subject. Our lovely, quaint little airport is growing! Spirit airlines http://www.spitirair.com/ will begin service to and from Columbia Metro, CAE, starting in May of this year. This is EXCITING FOLKS!

I first heard of this a year ago, when it was on the radar screen that a new airline would make our airport truly an international. To much of my surprise that time is here. Spirit seems committed to putting our airport on the map with flights into South America, and the Caribbeans.

Imagine booking a last minute flight to...hum...I don't know Lima Peru...for less than $400 - Fly out for the weekend and be back on Monday. What can you do in Lima Peru? How about visiting Machu Picchu, the lost Inca city? Imagine your co-workers asking you. So JP...what did you do this weekend? Oh...I just took a quick flight to Peru...and hiked in the Andes. Very Cool Indeed!

Some other destinations include most of the Caribbean islands, Panama, Puerto Rico. Heck pretty soon it may be Cuba with Castro retiring!

So as you can read I am excited about this. In my line of business we don't get to travel very often, and when we do, is usually for a short period of time. With Spirit flying conveniently to great points of interests, I will be sure to take advantage of the cheap, convenient flights in and out of our lovely, hassle free Columbia Metropolitan....oops, or soon to be Columbia International airport.

Happy travels my friends,

JP
