By Zach Honig on Oct 10, 2018 08:30 am Up until this week, Oklahoma City’s Will Rogers Airport had never seen a Boeing Dreamliner. In fact, widebody passenger aircraft are an especially unusual sight here — OKC is a much more common destination for regional jets than large international planes. Air Tahiti Nui decided to shake things up on Tuesday, though, making the Sooner ... Read in browser »
By Brendan Dorsey on Oct 10, 2018 08:00 am You get what you pay for, and with Allegiant Air, that’s taken to the extreme.
