Tupelo — As Good a Place to Start as Any

The crew at Contour Airlines wrote a blog post/essay/love letter for each of its destinations. And their Tupelo post has been making its rounds in the Carmigo office because of the line, “We’ve all got to start somewhere, it might as well be Tupelo.”

We couldn’t agree more (after all, we started Carmigo in Tupelo). 

Every Beginning Has a Place, Ours Is TupeIo

In the creative/startup/entrepreneurial scene, we spend a lot of time discussing what we’ll do. We talk about ideas, and we set benchmarks for pursuing those ideas, like: 

• “I’ll move to a big city after college, and then I’ll start playing music.” 
• “I’ll plan my passion project once I’ve been promoted to the VP level.” 
• “One day, I’ll quit my job and pursue my million-dollar idea.”

And sure, it’s hard to find an audience for your atonal prog-rock band in Selmer, Tennessee, but that doesn’t mean you have to put your ideas on hold. 

Don’t let your time or place keep you from putting your idea into the world—starting your first business, writing the first draft of that book, or building the best car-selling platform on the internet. 

Tupelo Has a Local Airline? 

Contour Airlines is a Tupelo classic. They haven’t been around as long as the other mainstays, but they’ve been around a lot longer than Carmigo and helped many Tupelo folk get around. 

One time, one of those standard airport mixups held the plane up in another city. So they pulled their private Learjet (that Bon Jovi once chartered) out of the garage and flew us to Nashville in a matter of seconds. 

Contour Airlines makes travel easy, and we love easy.
