Are you a window seat person? (Julia Sager / Bham Now).

Whether you are visiting family + friends or going on vacation, direct flights are always way more convenient.

We don’t have many direct flights out of the Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport, so we asked YOU on Facebook what places you want more flights to:

With over 500 comments, there are a TON of flights people are wanting. Here is the number one most-commented direct flight destination!

#1 Most-Commented: New Orleans

Can’t wait for Mardi Gras season! (Julia Sager / Bham Now).

As a Louisiana native, I can totally get behind this. New Orleans was the top-commented place for SURE.

Many comments were discussing how there used to be daily Southwest direct flights to Nola, and they are very missed.

One of our followers even said he used to be able to get an afternoon flight around 1:30 pm on a Friday and could be on Bourbon St. by 5 pm. Sounds like a great plan to me!

What are your favorite things to do in Nola? Mine has got to be grabbing brunch somewhere Uptown, there are some of the best brunch spots over there.

What about the rest?

The comment section was full dozens of different destinations people are needing more direct flights to.

Here’s a spotlight of the rest of the top 10 cities our followers want to travel to:

  1. New Orleans, LA
  2. Fort Lauderdale, FL
  3. Austin, TX
  4. Orlando, FL
  5. Washinton, DC
  6. Las Vegas, NV
  7. San Antonio, TX
  8. Boston, MA
  9. New York City, NY
  10. Los Angeles, CA

I know what you are thinking… LA + NYC are all the way down at 9 + 10? Crazy, yet true!

Our followers are more passionate about getting to Texas and Florida than New York or California.

Whether traveling for work or play, you don’t want to have to drive 2 hours to Atlanta for a direct flight.

Wishful thinking that one day we will have more to choose from!

Where are you headed? Let us know @bhamnow!
