The Devil went down to Georgia to try Contour Airlines for the first time. Similar to JSX, the Tennessee-based regional carrier is FAA Part-135, specializing in leisure and business travel with 30-seat Embraer Regional Jets. Contour Airlines has served the Washington, DC area since 2017, flying between Baltimore, Maryland and Macon, Georgia twice daily.

To note, Sun Country Airlines (SY) operates occasional casino charters to Gulfport/Biloxi, Mississippi (GPT) from Macon, which created a busy lobby the night before. Boarding began at 2:20pm CDT for a 2:40pm departure, with TSA opening its gates 15 minutes before boarding. There were about a dozen people onboard.

Special thanks to the entire flight crew.
