New Nonstop Flights to Great Golf Destinations

With colder weather approaching, this is the time of year when many of you start thinking about warm-weather getaways.

To that end, I thought you'd like to know about some NEW, nonstop flights that will make it even easier.

(Just so you know, there's a difference between a "direct" flight and a "nonstop" flight. A direct flight may include a stop in an intermediate airport, but a nonstop flight is just that: one takeoff, one landing.)

Some are seasonal, some are permanent...but they're all pretty sweet and brand-new.

Unable to find EWR - SKB flights on United? Are you sure they exist?

Check out from NYC (Laguardia) to Savannah, GA with a stay at Savannah Harbor Golf and Spa Resort. A great hotel across the river from Rivet Street. River Street restaurants and shops accessible by ferry from hotel.
The golf course is championship caliber

That course is called Mountain Air, located in the mountains of North Carolina. It's actually part of a private community, but the photo was just too perfect for us not to use.

Appreciate the article. Would have been great to see what was available out of Logan (Boston, MA) As we don't get to golf year round and Logan is a major airport, this would be a nice addition to the article. Thanks for the newsletter!
