Four Cities to flight non-stop from Panama City, FL

Southwest Airlines announced that it will fly directly to Orlando, Houston, Nashville and Baltimore from the new airport under construction.

The flights fare will start as low as $49 one way….

 and there will be two flights a day from each destination.  These low fares will force other airlines to reduce their fares to stay in the game. Southwest Airlines anticipate serving around 2,000 travelers a day.

These strategically chosen cities will provide semi-direct flights to Chicago, New York, Dallas and Ft. Lauderdale. Semi-direct flights mean that you will stop before arriving to your destination, but will not leave the plane. You can book your direct flight now at www.southwest.com.

Top Destination for 2010

December 4, 2009 Leave a Comment

Florida Panhandle Beaches are a Top Destination

I am really proud to say that one of the top destinations for 2010 is the place I live in. Out of thirteen destinations all over the word, I am not surprise that Florida Gulf Coast is one of them. This place is amazing! There are things to do for the entire family.  The Florida Panhandle Beaches are a must see destination.

This place has been overlooked by many, but the true is that it contains some of the most diverse recreation choices along Florida’s Gulf coast, and some of the best options for visitors seeking an affordable family vacation.

“Seaside’s planned community is so “perfect” it was the setting for the The Truman Show, yet you’ll also find old-school Florida towns with funky shops, tiny hotels, pristine beaches, and the perfect cottage to rent.”

Read the entire article here

We know that, with the arrival of the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in May of 2010, this area will be more accessible for everyone, specially because Southwest Airline is going to make flights more affordable.

Go to our website at www.AtTheBeachDestin.com for things to do in the Destin area and go to www.AtTheBeachFl.com for the South Walton Area.

Agreement

Southwest Airlines and Bay County tourism officials met in Dallas on Wednesday to sign an agreement.

This agreement will put local bed-tax muscle behind the low-cost carrier’s efforts to market the allure of local beaches.

Southwest airlines will provide daily non-stop flights from 4 cities to the new airport. These cities have not been announced yet. The airline officials will adjust flight schedules to meet the new airport’s May 18 grand opening.

The Walton County Tourist Development Council is expected to authorize a deal with Southwest similar to the Bay County agreement for a half-cent bed tax that county recently approved.

Tropical Storm IDA!

November 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

1

The latest information about Tropical Storm IDA is that has weakened. However, strong onshore flow continues along coastal areas of the Florida Panhandle. Water levels in this are are currently running around 3 feel above normal with a total storm tide of 3 to 5 feet.

Althought tide has passed, the continued onshore flow will lead to a very slow fall in water levels through the day. Winds are expected to weaken this evening and then become offshore overnight which will end the coastal flood threat.

Check out these fantastic pictures of the water taken by a South Walton local.

Boys of Summer Back for One Last Day In The Sun

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in November the boys of summer were able to come out to play and competed in the Bilabong Surfing competition held on Okaloosa Island just West of the Pier.   It’s days like these that make me glad that I no longer live in North Dakota where I’m pretty sure they were not holding a surfing competition. 

If you have ever thought of owning a place at the beach so you too can take advantage of days like these I would urge you to take a look at the Destin Real Estate market because there are deals to be had.
