NEW SERVICE IN NOVEMBER!

Bill

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  Today we're announcing service effective November 7th in four markets--two brand newbies, one returning after a brief vacation, and one that we just can't bear to drop.

First-time Southwest nonstops will take wing between Phoenix and Ft. Lauderdale with one daily roundtrip as well as double-daily roundtrips between Austin and San Jose, CA (yes--our very own "Nerd Bird!").  Phoenix-Ft. Lauderdale is a natural for us, and is timed to perfectly complement our existing service between Las Vegas and Lauderdale.  The new Austin-San Jose service (obviously) connects two of the biggest high-tech centers in the world, but also connects two important centers of higher education--so while it's the Google-Dell connection, it's also the Stanford-UT hook-up!

Returning after a short hiatus is nonstop service between St. Louis and Seattle.   This has been a *strong* performer this summer, and for the winter season it will be a perfect connector between Seattle and Florida.

And the market we just can't get rid of--we're "un-cancelling" our nonstop Baltimore-Los Angeles service...again!  We (of course) follow market demand, the demand for this market continues--and so will the flight.

All of this service is now available at southwest.com and the other usual places where you can buy seats on Southwest.  So what're you waiting for?  Fly somewhere, dang it!  Have a great week, everyone.

Could SWA - the only airline I fly! - add some kind of connecting flight to Key West from Orlando or Fort Lauderdale PLEASE? I need this before mid-February 2011 or I'll have to choose between a 4-hour shuttle bus or some god-awful other airline!

Love your airline and I love what you do. In fact, I just wanted to share a story with you just recently that really impressed me about your airline. I am a Boeing employee and was just recently assigned to remote flight test in Victorville, CA. On a particularly hot day, I was standing in the shadow of the nose of the 747-8 Freighter when one of your aircraft taxied by. Now this particular flight, I believe, was a military charter flying our brave troops to whatever destination they were headed. Your 737 stopped on the taxiway and I observed the flight deck crew taking pictures of the 747-8F to which I offered a friendly wave and the crew waved back. Then, I believe something extraordinary happened, the aircraft taxied just a bit more I believe to allow the troops to photograph the 747-8F. I was touched by such a simple act friendship and kindness that your flight crew must have shown the soldiers on board. You are true patriots to this nation and this is just another reason I love flying Southwest. Have an awesome summer and keep doing what you are doing. P.S. I snapped a photograph of your 737 as it was stopped on the taxiway and placed it on my Facebook page.

It would be great to have a connection from BWI to GSP or ILM. I visit myrtle beach and Greenville often and I would rather fly southwest than US AIr.

Hi folks! VERY quick comment...I'm out of the country and doing a reply on my iPhone is kind of tedious. I'll post more detailed comments later in the week, know that we're looking at EVERYTHING. **EVERYTHING** including traffic patterns, business/leisure mixes, and like everyone else we're trying to "ease on down the road" into the nations economic recovery. Look for more updates! :) Bill

I use your Orlando/Vegas and Orlando/Chicago routes several times a year and love and appreciate the non-stop service! But when, oh when, will you start flying in/out of Atlanta?? We need you there!

Flights out of Memphis or Tunica would be great. Driving to Little Rock or Nashville cancels out the low rates. Would love to be able to fly to Vegas and Southern California with GREAT service for a change. Would switch from Delta in a sec.

Southwest has already announced plans to hit SC big time, adding both Greenville and Charleston sometime in 2011, and I can't wait. Between now and 2014, SWA will change dramaticlly. With the new terminal at home here in Dallas and the expiration of the everhated Wright Amendment, we will be taking things to a whole new level. To all the other airlines, you've been warned! Start paying attention to the people or go away

Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. Charlotte. GSP is not Charlotte. Oh and while you're at it, give us our TUS-OAK flight back! I'm sick of connecting in that circle of death known as SAN.

Cannot wait for the announcement of the routes planned from both GSA and CHS. We can't wait until 03/2011. As far as South Carolinians are concerned you can start tomorrow.

Love what you do, and I realize you can't fly everywhere, BUT, Portland,Maine needs you. One more time, I was delayed 8 hours with "another carrier", whcih I have said so many times, I would NEVER fly again. Think about it; Portland is getting cooler everyday and lots of people pass through there. I know, I know, Manchester NH and Rhode Island, but I want PORTLAND. I will pay you to do this.
