Poll: Will You Fly From Waterloo to Chicago?

Starting April 3, local residents will be able to get to Chicago by air, without having to drive to Cedar Rapids or Des Moines first.

American Airlines will offer the service, taking over from Delta, which currently connects Waterloo with Minneapolis. That connection will stop when Delta leaves the airport.

Here is the daily schedule for the flights:

Ticket prices will undoubtedly fluctuate, but during a check of American Airline's website on Jan. 18, a one way trip on April 3 was $524. A return trip flight, returning the next day, was the same price. Flights will last from 50 minutes to one hour, 20 minutes.

So we wondered: will you be flying to Chicago from now on? Or still driving? Will you miss the flights to Minneapolis? Take our poll, and tell us what you think of the change in the comments.
