Fun video. As a native Charlottean I have seen how the city has transformed from a sleepy midsized southern town to a regional metropolis. On a personal note, across the street from where that hotel is located used to be a car dealership where I was employed for my first job at 16.
Mandatory flight content, I am actually at the Charlotte airport now waiting for the daily Lufthansa A340 flight from Munich to arrive. Picking up a client who is visiting the city for the weekend. There are over 200 German businesses in the city so there are many flights to Germany including four Lufthansa direct flights plus a slew of codeshares. Even more mandatory content, since US Airways dominated Charlotte from the days of Piedmont Airlines, there was much local concern as to the effect of the merger and US leaving Star Alliance and losing the LH codeshare. LH has committed to their flights given the demand. AA is weak in the southeast (hence why the merger with US was good) since they pulled out of RDH 10 years ago. Most of my flying is with US obviously and am happy that their mileage chart is remaining intact.
