Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has flown or is currently flying to PHX via Angel Flights? I found out they fly into Deer Valley Airport, and was wondering what you've found is the best ground transpo? Rental cars or shuttles? Seems like it should be easy, but with carseats and all...and I'll be by myself with my twins!!!!! Also, is anyone flying from Denver to PHX via Angel Flights? Looks like we'll be starting soon. Thanks in advance for the help. Sincerely, Tricia Reimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 We are flying from Manitoba Canada to Chicago. I remeber when we were trying to figure out how I would get to the clinic once I got there it was nearly impossible. The taxi's were so expensive that it almost caused us not to go. We finally found a taxi that went from the airport to the suburb for a flat rate of $23. The drivers help me install the carseat and put all the bags in the car or van. They pick me up out side the terminal and drop me right off at the clinic front door. It was going to cost way more to rent a car or take a regular cab. I almost didn't find this service until at the last minute when I booked our hotel for the fitting appointment and the hotel reccommended them. Thank goodness. I thought I was going to have to rent a car and honestly I was quite terrified to drive. I bungee strap Andre's car seat to his little umbrella stroller and we get around that way. Not to discourage you but I am assuming with twins by yourself it is going to be impossible. You're a brave person. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Here is a link to the website for Deer Valley Airport. I haven't been to it, but I don't believe it is large enough to have rental cars or a shuttle service. You can call them to find out more info. Someone already gave you phone numbers for local cab services. It is about 20 miles from the Cranial Tech office. http://phoenix.gov/AVIATION/deervalley/about/services.html Audrey 11 mo, DOC Grad --- Tricia <twinsreims@...> wrote: > Hi, > Just wondering if anyone has flown or is currently > flying to PHX via > Angel Flights?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks for the tel #s for cabs and links!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Haylee, Thanks for the tips. Glad you found the cab service for the flat rate to CT in CHicagoland. I've been trying to figure out the logistics of travelling with twins, esp. the carseat part. I've found a carseat carrier that you can wear like a backpack, which I'll be ordering, and I think I'll use your tip to bungee the other one to the stroller. I'll report back once I accomplish this feat! Thanks again, Tricia > > > > Hi, > > Just wondering if anyone has flown or is currently flying to PHX > via > > Angel Flights?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Tricia, I'm impressed that you're taking this on by yourself with twins. However since the flight is free (at least i think angel flights are free) could you take someone to help you? maybe a neighborhood teen who would do it for a small fee, or a friend or relative? it just seems like a lot for you to do - at least the first time until you've got the layout of the airport, travel connections etc. I would meet you myself if I was in the area :-) Good luck -christine > > > > > > Hi, > > > Just wondering if anyone has flown or is currently flying to PHX > > via > > > Angel Flights?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 i found this carseat and thought it was kinda neat http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2403962 & cp=2255983.2256187.2256196 & pg=2 & parentPage=family its a car seat that turns into a stroller would be kinda hard to deal with 2 of them though heh.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Hi , I've been thinking about how to do this from every possible angle-- from finding a childcare provider, to begging my mother-in-law to take her 3 months vacation she has saved up and move out here! ha! Turns out the Angel flight trip from Denver to Phoenix is a two leg and three day journey--2 days to travel and 1 day for the appt. Soooo, scratch that option! Looks like I'll have to come up with some money, and of course, still fly alone with two babies. I guess a better option is to just stay with my parents in IL and get band #2 at the same place we started with Band 1. My mom would be thrilled! Thanks for helping me brainstorm!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Tricia, 3 days - wholly cow that is a nightmare. I guess that's what you get for free. Great try. So have you told your mom yet? Will it be a hardship for you or your hubby for you and the kids to be in IL? na, DOC Grad X2 Feb 04, Tort Resvoled Kiersten, DOC Grad April 06, Tort Resolved www.thefilyaws.com/plagio/plagio.html > > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > Just wondering if anyone has flown or is currently flying to > PHX > > > > via > > > > > Angel Flights?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Yes a nightmare it is. I spoke with Angel Flights 3 or 4 times previously and this never came up. They actually called to schedule the flight after receiving our paperwork, and that is when it came up. They provide a great service, but it just is not realistic for our medical needs. I'm investigating some other options here in Colorado, so no plans for me and the kids to stay in IL yet. I did tell my mom the news and I know she is secretly hoping we come " home " . It would be very rough on my husband so I'm trying to use it as a last resort. I'll keep you posted! We have an appt with Hanger Thursday, so I'm really hoping the orthotist is qualified!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi Tricia, I hope Hanger works for you. I know DOC is supposed to be the best, but we have a starband partly because it is local and are very please with Sydney's results so far.
