Letter: MacArthur Airport's problems are plain

Now another airline, PenAir, is leaving Long Island MacArthur Airport, and its daily flights declined 46 percent between 2007 and 2012 ["Airline quits MacArthur," News, May 21].

I can figure out why. Last year, I flew from MacArthur to Dallas Love Field. It took forever, with three stops.

The other problem is cost: I tried to book a flight to Las Vegas the other day, and it was roughly $600 with stops and plane changes. I can fly out of JFK or LaGuardia airports for almost $200 less.

I love the convenience of MacArthur, but not the price.
