LUV Has
Landed
Southwest Airlines touches down in
several exciting new markets in 2013.
From the Great Lakes to the Great Plains,
and from coastal New England all the way
to the Caribbean Sea, Southwest Airlines’
route map is expanding to provide a wide
array of destinations for travelers, with
eight cities already plugged in or poised to
welcome the arrival of the LUVAirline.
On March 10, Southwest launched new
daily service between Branson, Missouri,
and Chicago (Midway), Dallas Love Field,
and Houston (Hobby), plus Saturday-only
service to Orlando, Florida.
Then, on April 14, Southwest embarked
on a new path with the first flights linking the Caribbean to the Southwest route
network. Service to San Juan, Puerto
Rico, headlined the record-breaking list
of five new cities that opened on that date.
The others: Charlotte, North Carolina;

FLYING COLORS Southwest Customers can visit Castillo de San Cristóbal,
an old Spanish fort from San Juan, Puerto Rico’s colonial days.
Flint, Michigan; Portland, Maine; and
Rochester, New York.
This summer, Southwest will add a
new state to the list of those enjoying the
airline’s Legendary Customer Service
when Wichita, Kansas, becomes a Southwest city on June 2, with new nonstop
service to Chicago (Midway), Dallas Love
Field, and Las Vegas.
Michigan wins big as Grand Rapids
becomes the third Southwest destination
in the state on August 11, with nonstop
service to Baltimore/Washington, Denver,
Orlando, and St. Louis, plus Saturday-only
service to Tampa Bay, Florida.
There’s also brand new nonstop
service between Atlanta and San Diego;
Des Moines, Iowa, and Las Vegas; Jacksonville, Florida, and Chicago (Midway); and
Nashville, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh.
Additionally, Southwest and AirTran
Airways are expanding service between
our near-international destinations and
our domestic cities. Some of those new
international routes (now available for sale
at airtran.com) include nonstop AirTran
service between Los Cabos, Mexico,
and both Denver and Austin. This summer, AirTran also is growing at Chicago
(Midway), with new nonstop flights to both
Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Punta Cana,
Dominican Republic. And there’s newly
scheduled service between Baltimore/
Washington and Punta Cana.
“Gary’s Greeting,” on page 12, outlines
the hard work underway to offer more
itineraries among the 97 destinations
served by both Southwest and our wholly
owned subsidiary, AirTran Airways. The
integration of the two carriers is on track to
be completed by the end of 2014.
The Southwest route map turns 43 on
June 18, and it’s never been a more dynamic
space for new options in a growing list
of destinations for Southwest Customers.
