Hi SWA,
With the new Northwest Florida airport, you will need again to update your interactive map. While you're at it, please consider the following:
(1) It's long past time to get rid of the asterisks after Boston and Milwaukee.
(2) Relocate the dots for Chicago and Milwaukee. It looks like these airports are as close as San Francisco and Oakland, but not at all true, they are almost as far apart as Indianapolis and Louisville. Chicago dot should move southeast, much closer to Indiana border than to Wisconsin. Milwaukee dot should move slightly north.
(3) Albuquerque and Portland dots are also off a bit. Albuquerque dot should move east; it's almost the same longitude as El Paso. Portland dot should move a bit east, so that it is south of where the Columbia River flows westbound rather than near where it turns northbound.
(4) Move print identifier of New York LaGuardia closer to the dot, maybe putting it to the right in the Atlantic, just loke Long Island's print identifier. Right now, one must think for a while before one is sure which dot is NYC; it's almost as close to Philadelphia as to the real NYC dot.
(5) Move Little Rock dot. It should be in almost the exact center of the state; it looks too far northwest now.
Thanks. I worked in cartography. Shawn

Hi Southwest,
Your press release on celebrating 15 years in the Pacific Northwest says that SWA serves 12 cities nonstop from both Seattle and Portland, and lists the cities. In fact, SWA serves 14 from SEA and 13 from PDX. The press release omits Chicago in both cases ( a major omission!) and Nashville from Seattle (no nonstops to Nashville from Portland)! As a Chicagoan who has flown to both Seattle and Portland, I hope this is just a typo, not a harbinger of the future. Please respond if possible.
I like your write-ups on local celebrations of SWA history events.

Hooray. A great metro area finally gets a great airline. I live in Chicago, and MSP is the only place I travel to regularly that I couldn't fly SWA to. I hope you expand service there like you did for Denver. They're ready for you.
