Long story. The grandparents my fiance parents dont like to book online they prefer the person to person booking.

OK, fair.Long story. The grandparents my fiance parents dont like to book online they prefer the person to person booking.
since i usaally know when i am flying way ahead and I pay the $20 fee I have almost always boarded in the first 20-50 people and have pretty much picked my seat every time.but other than flying out west the flights are all pretty short anyway so I really dont care where i sit.SWA is tops with me. No baggage charge for 2 bags under 50lbs. They fly only 737 (easier to maintain one model). No bullsheet nickel for overhead bin use or dime for a better seat. Yes you can pay to board early - big deal. Maybe you get the exit row. It's not premiere service, but I find them consistent, friendly and egalitarian (whatever the hell "egalitarian" means).
Also I usually fly for free by using my SWA Rewards card.
J*sus Chr*st I sound like an advertisement.
Service starts mid-Nov. I look forward to booking them from Reno back to the 'Cuse for games. Maybe the Pitt game 11/27

BWI is a SW hub. You can get most places from there. I live in PA about an hour from BWI and am friends with a number of SW pilots who like living a little farther (and cheaper) from the airportWhile it's great that SW is finally in town, Anyone find it odd that they would bring service and then just start with flights to BWI? The slot pairs that would be profitable seem many... Austin, Dallas, St. Louis, Denver, Midway, San Juan, Nashville, Atlanta... I dunno seems short sighted to me.
while it is true that BWI is a hub of sorts (more like a focus city if you ask me), it is still just 1 connection point, with limited routes/times. Also let's not pretend BWI is akin to JetBlue's Boston or NY hub either... It is great to get any service from SW, and hopefully this is just the start.BWI is a SW hub.

Unless you are fly business or first class all domestic airlines are very similar. If you are flying coach book to save money, save connections and get a convenient schedule.When me and my family travel we book through a travel company and most travel company's do not book southwest allegiant spirit frontier etc the low cost carriers.
Yes a start...but it gives you 2 checked bags too for free. It is another option and will capture more business from ROC and ALB travelerswhile it is true that BWI is a hub of sorts (more like a focus city if you ask me), it is still just 1 connection point, with limited routes/times.

They actually could fly once a day to LI Macarthur and probably do well. I'd pay $118 Rdtp for a wanna get away fare.While it's great that SW is finally in town, Anyone find it odd that they would bring service and then just start with flights to BWI?

Southwest to launch inaugural Syracuse service on Sunday
City and business leaders have been trying to lure Southwest to Syracuse for more than 20 years.www.syracuse.com
Initially, it will operate three daily flights to BWI. In addition, the airline will launch nonstop service on select Saturdays during peak fall and winter holiday periods to Orlando, Florida, starting Saturday, Nov. 20.
Southwest is like crack or In and Out. Once you start you don’t stop. They are just the best run airline.We booked 2 for Thanksgiving. Very cheap.
The other 2 of us will drive. Gives flexibility on going to the Pitt game Saturday since the time is TBD, but might not want to wait around until a Sunday flight if it's a nooner.
This...great option to have for SYRS

Friend of mine was on the 1st flight. Big to do at the airport.

Flew Southwest for the first time yesterday. Quick flight from Salt Lake to Vegas. No frills, or booze, but seems like a well organized operation. Will fly with them more!
