Interesting. It would be nice to see another non-stop from Pittsburgh to Orlando on Southwest!

It sure would be great if SW would come on board as a Magical Express airline. I would really like to be able to not worry about checking baggage on the trip home. Seems like this would increase their WDW bookings even more.

Hi Neighbor... I am a Pittsburger also...
We LOVE SW... Flew them 2 times in 5 months direct flight this past Oct and May.. I cant say enough good things about them, especially the DING fair that I got at $49.00..

I love SW but this is why they are so sucessful they keep everything in house.No more on-line (expedia,hotwire,...) They take and put all the blame on themselves So they know how to control their controlables.

I would like to see this happen also but wouldn't hold your breath.

As far as the prices ours at BWI/TM have been going down a little since they started to dominate the airport.They will sell cheap to fill planes because thats what they are rated on and empty planes don't look good.

The luggage check in is run by a third party and the airlines pay the third party. As tmt pointed out, SW is not likely to pay....

In Nashville where SW dominates airfares have actually crept up over the past few years... Not near as bad as if SW wasn't there, but...

I'd rather see JetBlue. Or, have AirTran return their second daily flight.
