Why is getting a flight so hard?

Question

I feel like there is no none stop flights from Arkansas to New Orleans. It's driving me crazy! Sorry people just had to vent.

If you could find me a site where they only or mainly have none stop flights that would be great.

Answer 1

Every travel website that has airline schedules has nonstop flights. If you can't find any, it usually means that none exist.

Neither New Orleans nor any city in Arkansas is a major airline hub or focus city. That means that the odds of nonstop service between them is somewhere between slim and none. The airlines don't feel that there is enough demand for nonstop service to justify offering it. They can't make money flying empty planes.

Answer 2

Try the website that serves your airport and see if there are any direct flights.  Since the ends of the flight are so close together, you are not likely to get major airlines and what you do will probably be milk runs picking up customers for the larger airlines out of New Orleans.

Answer 3

Sometimes you are flying out of an airport that is small and don't have flights to your destination. A lot of times you have to fly through a hub. For example, when I fly to California, I always have to go through Chicago because I live in a small city. There isn't really any way around it, just how the airlines are. Seems like you have to stop in Atlanta if you fly out of Little Rock, Arkansas
