Flight Cutbacks Dim Late Booking Chances
University Daily Kansan
Students planning to fly home for the Thanksgiving holiday will have trouble making airline reservations, according to Carl Maggio, manager of Maquintauit
The new mandatory fuel allocation program has caused airlines to cut back their scheduled flights, some by as much as 20 per cent. Maggio said yesterday.
Frontier Airlines, had offered six flights a day between Topeka and Kansas City, Mo., he said. Now they offer only three flights a day.
HOWEVER, FRONTIER AIRLINES officials said yesterday that the airline would cancel its 12 per cent cutback in flight capacity if the federal government would guarantee the airline a two-month jet fuel supply.
A, L. Feldman, president of Frontier, said the federal government had given no notice that Frontier, a Denver-based regional energy company, submitted from the mandatory fuel allocations.

Usual Police Force Will Work Tonight
There won't be extra patrolmen on duty Halloween, Vernon Harrell, Lawrence Police Department administrative lieutenant, said yesterday.
Harrell said that recent Halloweens in Lawrence had usually been quiet. Other than soaped windows, there had been little dandelion, he said.
Midwest, southwest and Rocky Mountain region, canceled 110 departures daily last Sunday to meet the federal allocations of jet fuel.
FIVE OF THE EIGHT major airlines serving Kansas City have announced flight cutbacks. They are Trans World, Frontier Braniff International, North Central and
Maggio said Maupintor hadn't been affected by airline flight cancellations.
"We're still getting everyone out on flights. It's just more inconvenience."
Maggio said people were "wising up" to the situation and were beginning to make reservations far in advance of planned trips.
"Students flying standby will be affected," because most flights come out firing.
He said he was already having trouble booking reservations for the Christmas and New Year parties.
"I would strongly recommend that people make reservations now," he said.
MAGGIO SAID international connections were harder to make because of flight reductions. He said most international tours were to Europe and getting to New York was a problem.
The same situation exists for flights to the West Coast, said Maggio.
"Where we used to have two flights to Kennedy International, now we have one, and it stops in St. Louis and Cleveland on the way."
"They have one plane to do what three did," he said.
