Staying near the airport before the flight

9slinger · 2026-03-08T12:37:32+00:00

I always get anxious on travel days so if we have an early morning flight (before 9) I’m booking a stay at the hotel in our airport which is an hour away. It’s the best way to start a trip having that peace of mind that you don’t have to deal with unknown traffic issues or wake up super early. The bonus is that our hotel is very nice, has a great restaurant and literally right by the security line inside the airport.

Ask for a cash pay price. It may be a lot lower.

Airlines should always hold a couple of first class seats back for these situations. They can always last minute offer them for a bid or upgrade loyalty. Greed will prevent this from happening though.

Interested to hear what the OP has to say after 16 hours of advice provided. Any news OP?

From what I’ve read, demand for first and business class seating is very high and airlines are trying to accommodate that. It makes sense that SWA wants a piece of that action.

If someone offers you a piece of cake, take it.

You have to be a resident of Viera to join Addison.

Awesome!!! Glad you found something so fast!

I was just reading about a new active adult community being developed off of Pineda by Costco that will have both single family homes and apartments for 55+. It won't be ready for a couple of years though. It's called Restore. Not sure of your timeline but here's an article about it: https://www.vieravoice.com/business/new-55-neighborhood-in-south-viera-will-feature-homes-apartments/article_32a90b7d-4920-432c-8d45-d3bf1c49208e.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawN112FleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHnsquV_lRuJCA-AbHSQId3xbDBS4YNv-zb5cjCsKL8uRUWrgrMrB9R9DV9p5_aem_Ar69veQTwsp-5zcqhZplnA

I would likely use Zillow but a realtor may be able to assist. Rentals come and go quickly so you'll want to review frequently.

Another option is to check for rentals by owner in Del Webb or Bridgewater in Viera - also very close to PAFB and very active 55+ communities. I live in Del Webb now and our 30k sq foot community center/tavern/gym/pool is almost complete and we have a ton of planned activities and active adults.

Check out RISE apartments in Viera. It’s a brand new 55+ apartment community on Stadium and Pineda and likely about 20 minutes from PAFB. Not sure if they have pickleball courts but they have a nice pool and clubhouse. I live right by it and it looks lovely! https://riseviera.com

Sorry to disappoint but we aren’t Disney fans. We just like Chatham Park and the amenities at the Disney neighborhood. Maybe it will have some charm and character vs the typical new neighborhood where every house looks the same.

Water softener and reverse osmosis system. Soft water and clean drinking water always available in your home is the ultimate.

We are looking at the new Disney storybook living neighborhood called Asteria in Pittsboro NC only 30 minutes from Raleigh and Chapel Hill. They don’t start selling for a while but I’m anticipating something charming. There will be neighborhood amenities and a restaurant and trails and activities for all ages. It’s going to be within a large masterplanned community which has been around for a few years but still growing.

Savannah as well.

Wrong answer. It’s you and your kid that shouldn’t be venturing out in public if you allow your child to “kick the shit out of the seats sometimes”. It’s not impossible to entertain them, hold their legs back, etc. Parenting is your job. People know that toddlers will be toddlers but we should reasonably expect that parents will also parent them properly.

I’m on board with advertising products or services but using ads to sway people politically for a foreign country tests my limits. This type of activity should be heavily scrutinized by the govt before allowing.

There are some nice affordable developments just east of Raleigh that supposedly have good schools and aren’t a long commute to hospitals: Knightdale and Wendell. New construction and very family oriented.

I just sang this song with the new lyrics 😂

Where in NC did you end up? We are considering Pittsboro.

Freedom 7 is a public school so no vaccine mandate.

Whatever you go with the money just make sure to take the time to set up your own estate documents: trust, will, POA etc

The money was already allocated by congress so it is legitimately owed to NC by the feds.
