Southwest Airlines Community

Hi Bill. What is happening with Southwest and 3 additional gates being constructed at Terminal 2 - MSP? Will SW be taking one or more on? They are ready (to my knowledge) in October of this year! Looking forward to the Spring Break release...would love MSP-CUN. ... View more

Great job Bill! Love to read the analysis. I am constantly intrigued by the work that must go into this. That said, I just returned (on Southwest) from LAS to MSP. Would love to see that market added. I keep tabs on the MSP numbers and passengers and loads seem to improve year after year! Steve ... View more

Hey Bill! Thanks for the update. Looks like MSP is still going well and now we have BWI service 2x daily in April, continuing with the summer schedule. Would still LUV to see LAS (I know it is highly competitive, but one cannot resist!). Also on my personal radar, BOS/NYC, LAX, and HOU or DAL. Would be awesome! - See more at: http://www.blogsouthwest.com/1605919-2/#comments ... View more

Great as always Bill! LUV that you provide an analysis of the changes. What other airline goes to that level for us!? Anyway, I'm excited to see you brought the Florida flights back to MSP, even if it is still Saturdays only. Would have loved to see March 5th as the start instead of March 12th (our Spring Break begins 3/5), but we can work around that. AND...I noticed MSP-RSW is 2x on Saturdays. Go Twins! Here's hoping for some daily flights on your next schedule extension. I have some ideas (DAL, BWI, BOS, LAX, LAS). Have a great one! Steve ... View more

Bill, A follow up, if I may. With the schedule extension coming up on August 11th, will there be changes to the current offerings around the weekend of March 5th, which already exists as a schedule? Earlier this year, this same weekend in March was included as "Spring Break." Will this be the same for 2016??? ... View more

Thanks for the reply Bill! I would be absolutely thrilled to see a few more options on Southwest at MSP, so we will definitely keep hoping. Loads have been looking great this calendar year! ... View more

And...hope to see some other cities added for MSP on the next round too! ... View more

Hey Bill! LUV the add MSP-FLL! Even Saturday only is sweet for that type of route. Looking forward to Aug 11th to see some Spring Break additions for MSP. ... View more

Hey Bill...just wanted to say THANK YOU for having some flights to Tampa out of MSP this month. Flew down last Saturday and came back today. Both flights PACKED FULL!!! Please add more! I think the LUV is spreading here in MSP. ... View more

Cool for Dallas! While I really LUV Southwest, I get the vibe MSP is somewhat forgotten here. It was previously listed as a city to be served if gates were awarded at DAL to WN. I believe MSP and EWR are the only two not served from the original material provided showing what could happen at DAL. Terminal 2 has available space at MSP now that Spirit moved over to 1. Any thoughts on what to expect for us at MSP? ... View more

"Check back next Thursday (February 19), as we’ll open our schedule from August through the end of October." Can't wait to see if MSP gets some additional LUV this time around! ... View more

Bill - Thanks again for the reply. I believe I actually have an answer now. We are continuing to watch fares on MSP-TPA 3/7-3/14! Great add to the schedule for us! Steve ... View more

Would love to have some sort of answer, if possible, Bill. Thanks for the reply. ... View more

Michael, I have encountered a similar issue seeing sold out on the Wanna Get Away fare only 1-2 days since the flights even became available. I too am looking for some insight. ... View more

Planning on MSP-TPA! Thanks for adding Saturday flights! ... View more

Hi William, I hope those cities come true for MSP. We have been somewhat stagnant for a while. I am sure that was due to the merger, but it would be nice to kick start some growth again. I think Southwest has great potential in the MSP market! ... View more

Hi Bill. I'm hoping to see some additions for MSP soon! 7x daily to MDW is nice (in addition to the other cities serviced), but Florida/Vegas and some East/West Coast buildup would be even better! Looking forward to the next schedule release to see if my wishes come true for Spring Break in March! DAL would be another great add! - Steve ... View more

Was MSP-MCO one of the permanent cuts to seasonal service? Any numbers on overall gains/cuts per city pair? Thanks! ... View more

I didn't realize that Orlando - MSP would only be seasonal. I thought it was a year-round daily on AirTran? Would be great to see some more Florida destinations with non-stops out of MSP (always looking for more NS flights to other great SW destinations too)! Especially FLL for our November cruise! Looking forward to being able to book mid-Nov 2013 sometime in the spring. Thanks SWA! ... View more

Sweet! A new non-stop for MSP!!! Fort Lauderdale, the New England area, and West Coast cities would be much appreciated as well, but thanks for showing some LUV to MSP! ... View more

Great job on clarifying your schedule extension as always! Curious, any new destinations for Minneapolis? Need to give Delta a bit of a run! ... View more
