The Erie Regional Airport Authority is pleased to announce that Breeze Airways will offer BreezeThru flight to Fort Lauderdale from Erie International Airport, Tom Ridge Field (ERI) from November 18, 2026 through January 9, 2027. BreezeThru on Breeze Airways is a service where flights stop at an intermediate airport, but passengers remain on the plane, allowing them to reach their destination faster without changing aircraft or rechecking bags. Flights will leave ERI, stop briefly in Tampa then continue to the final destination of Fort Lauderdale. Tickets are available for purchase on www.flybreeze.com.

“The Erie Regional Airport Authority and the community are excited about the additional service to Fort Lauderdale from Erie”, stated Derek Martin, Executive Director. Martin added, “this market continues to perform well in Breeze’s network leaving the door open for additional routes from ERI.”

my family and i are traveling there for a weekend getaway! what’s fun to do and eat? i’m not talking the stuff you find with a quick google search, actual fun - actual good food. best kept secrets kind of deal. because i don’t want to pay 80/person for the indoor waterpark.

TIA!

Just wondering if anyone has good experience in Erie with the medspas we have here. Was thinking about trying Kybella and I don’t mind at all driving elsewhere to get injections etc but I feel like I have heard of a few spots in town, just not sure where to go or who to trust

Listen I’m all about car shows and seeing cool cars, but dobbins landing has been turned into a warzone at night. Every time I go there on weekend nights for a drink at Woodys or rum runners I either nearly hit a kid with my car or usually they nearly hit me.

It’s literally a bunch of teens drinking and smoking in public and driving on top of that. Every single one of them trying to impress people and that’s a horrible combination. There’s lots of fights and they trash the place. The funny part is that they don’t even have cool cars to show off. Majority of the cars there are Civics and v6 mustangs with muffler deletes. They just sit there and do burnouts, play loud trap music, and rev their engines. Usually almost hitting other cars.

I feel bad for the restaurants down there. I’ve spoken to them a few times and asked how they felt about it. They also told me they’ve been through hell trying to get the cops to clean that shit up and that it’s every night. They have to deal with it every night. It scares away their business and only attracts more fake ids and trash they have to throw out of their bars.

My kid is turning 3 and I couldn't find how to get them in the public pre-K/pre-school here in Erie. We live in the city. I browsed the website, it lists the names of the public schools and a brief summary on each one, but there is no info on how to apply and zip code restrictions. Any input will be appreciated.

We went to one of the beaches last year, kind of on a whim. We didn’t realize how many Little rocks and pebbles we’d be stepping on, on the shoreline. Even wearing sandals, rocks ended up in our shoes. The further out we got, the better it felt to walk, but we couldn’t go very far out with a small toddler. Thinking about taking the toddler back this year, was just wondering which beach is the best for littles!

Are there any with bathrooms nearby?

Are there any with less rocks/pebbles on the shoreline? (I understand it’s a lake, so that may not exist!)

Are there any that are more accessible for wagon use?

What would be your favorite beach to visit with a 2 year old? 😊

Is there anything local people use? Or if theres something better n cheaper let me know .

I need it as a new patient not renewing
