I got this in my email this morning.

"Southwest Airlines is thrilled to announce five new nonstop flights from your hometown of Los Angeles to Denver, beginning May 10, 2008! Whether you're traveling for business or for FUN, let Southwest Airlines get you there."

Hmmmm......I might have to make a weekend trip once it gets warmer :-D

It is called Southworst for a reason.

Yah, never had major problems with them. Maybe the service is better on the West Coast. Their frequent flyer program can't be beat (I've flown for free 4 times already in 3 years). And the only times I've run into delays is on Friday evenings, never ridiculous.

There are a few things that I don't like about them, like the whole boarding process. I usually fly Delta(there's no reason when living in Atlanta to fly anyone else). I've been screwed by how Southwest has had a negative impact on other airports when I've been flying. As for the frequent flyer program, I have more Skymiles than I know what to do with. I can use them to go anywhere in the world too.

Yah, well thank God they've changed their boarding procedure. I hated that as well, especially when trying to get past people lining up for the cattle call.

Yah, but you probably fly much more than I do. 5-6 flights to Phoenix or Vegas on Southwest = free flight for me (thanks to bonus credits). I use them for my short haul, and American for long haul. It took me 6 much more expensive flights to get that 25,000 miles on American. (I'm at like 60,300 now though)

I was up over 350k with Delta. I've used a lot in the past year though.
