Southwest Airlines seems to be one of the airlines that I end up flying quite a bit. The only downside for me is that Southwest doesn’t fly out of my home airport (Cincinnati), so when I fly Southwest, I need to drive up to Dayton, Indianapolis or Columbus. And inevitably, whenever I do that, I think on the 90-120 minute drive up there… “Why am I doing this again?”

Southwest adding 5 new nonstop routes
Per the USA Today, Southwest is adding 5 new nonstop routes, starting November 6th
There are 2 new routes from San Jose, California to Baltimore and Salt Lake City, 2 routes from Washington DC (DCA) to Orlando and Providence, and one from Kansas City to San Antonio. Southwest also announced the removal of 4 routes
- Atlanta-Oklahoma City (permanent discontinuation)
- Chicago Midway-Pensacola, Fla.(seasonal Saturday-only service)
- Chicago Midway-Reno (seasonal discontinuation)
- Nashville-Seattle (seasonal discontinuation)
That Chicago – Reno flight is the one where a woman told my wife and I that we “were the type of people that should not have children”
Southwest extends their booking calendar
In addition, Southwest extended their booking calendar. Southwest has a different way of managing their flight schedules. Instead of opening up their schedules a year or so out, they only make their schedule bookable through a certain date. Within the past week, Southwest opened up their schedule again.
You can now book flights through January 4, 2017
