In the footsteps of other low cost, niche carriers like Allegiant, Vision is looking to non-congested secondary airports with the new routes.  Instead of Orlando International Airport, the flights will operate four star hotels in florence to Orlando Sanford International ( SFB ) and the Charlotte County Punta Gorda Airport ( PGD ) in place of Ft.

Besides tours and charters, it s been alleged Vision had a cozy relationship with the US Government.   According to a 2009 report in the Las Vegas Sun, the US Government chartered with Vision Airlines to operate night-time lights out flights into Baghdad and Kabul starting in 2004.  The report indicates Vision was sued by employees who say the company withheld millions in government hazard pay they earned for flying into war zones.

Don t do it! Vision airlines is horrible. I was supposed to have a direct flight four star hotels in florence from Richmond, Va to Freeport, Bahamas on 3/12/2012. Because they didn t sell enough seats in Richmond and Raleigh that day, they delayed our 1:30pm flight to 7pm saying they were getting a larger plane flying from Mississippi to ft lauderdale to Bahamas then to Richmond. Then from Richmond we would have to stop in Raleigh to drop off and pick up passengers. It wasn t until 10:30pm that we departed Raleigh to bahamas. When we descent to land in Bahamas, seeing lights AND a plane just taking off, we slowly start ascending and stay in the air for about 15 minutes. It s not until numerous people four star hotels in florence start demanding some explanation that the pilot tells us we are flying the ft lauderdale because the airport is closed! We get to ft lauderdale after midnight, they wouldn t let us off the plane, we spent almost 3 hours getting fuel before finally taking off again, getting to Bahamas at 4am! It was a nightmare four star hotels in florence of a flight. I am a frequent flyer, and am pretty flexible on flying any airline, but I can honestly say I will never fly this airline again. The way they do business, they will not be around for long. So if you do book a ticket, you should beware that it may not take off.
Thanks for letting me know. We ve booked Delta Airlines via Atlanta. May not be non-stop, but at least they re a major carrier opposed to Vision Airlines four star hotels in florence who I think only has a small number of planes.
