Frontier Cutting Flights From Tampa To 8 Cities
If you’ve flown this summer, you know the airlines are having a tough go of it. After having so many empty seats during the pandemic, travelers are overwhelming the terminals this year.
Staffing remains the biggest problem. The Tampa Bay Business Journal reports that around 4,000 flights will be cut nationwide starting in November through February of next year. They say that Florida airports will see the biggest changes and loss in service. Flights from Tampa International Airport to 8 markets will be eliminated, including Syracuse, Providence, Columbus, Dallas, Portland (Maine), Milwaukee and Green Bay.
You might be surprised like I was that Frontier isn’t even in the airport’s top 5, in terms of number of passengers. Southwest carries the most Tampa passengers with over 5 million in 2021. They are followed by Delta (3.2 million), American Airlines (3.1 million), United Airlines (1.8 million), and Spirit Airlines (1.7 million.) [Source: TBBJ]
Some Of The Beers I Tried At The Bolts Brew Fest
The Bolts Brew Fest made a return for the first time since COVID and we were so excited! Beer and hockey are the perfect combo and it was great to be back at the event since the Lightning have become back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions. Amalie Arena was turned into a sea of breweries that were located throughout the concourse and ice floor (no, the ice was not set up for this event.) With so many brewery options around Tampa Bay, this was a great way to sample a little something from everyone and determine where our official next brewery stop would be.
They had a gaming corner set up at multiple areas in Amalie, including a Mario Kart tournament. But no worries, there was no drinking and driving allowed. Men and women could also test their strength at the stein holding competition. Holding a full stein beer glass is definitely a lot harder than it sounds.
There’s lots to see and do at the Bolts Brew Fest. Below is our list of some of the beers I tried while I was there. Each brewery featured at least 3 different style of beers, such as an IPA, Stout, and Wheat or Ale, but to avoid a night by the toilet I didn’t mix too many styles together. They don’t call me Two Beer Ted for no reason! If you’re heading to a Tampa Bay brewery that was featured in the Bolts Brew Fest, check this list to see if their featured beer is worth trying!
