Now, the airline says the “message was poorly worded and not accurate.” That’s right, United isn’t denying the memo was shared with agents, or that anyone who read the message would think that passengers could rebook onto flights to alternative airports to deliberately avoid the DJT airport.

this is worse than if they had not mentioned it in the first place.

    Nothing but negatives to renaming the airport. No one likes the name, it costs them money to have the name, they needed to pass a controversial law just to be able to name it, and then another controversial decision to approve the use of the name.

    You know who's paying for that name? Anyone flying into that airport, at the least.

    They can't have it both ways. It's either PBI or DJT, and they chose DJT.

    Just curious, other than the name being trash, is there anything actually wrong with the airport itself? Or do people just avoid it because of the banner?
