[quote=Anonymous]Southwest has only been flying of O'Hare since 2021. There were Midway-only for a long time. In the DC area, they started with BWI, added Dulles mid-00s, and then added DC in like 2012 or 2013? I can't remember. This was a defining feature of Southwest for a long time -- creating a more efficient (and thus lower-cost) hub network by sticking to less expensive airports where they could move a ton of flights through. Of course, the old, reliable, efficient and streamlined Southwest that many of us came to appreciate 20 or so years ago is gone, so I'm not sure it matters. The old system was also based on efficiencies through no assigned seating, no tiered boarding, no special status, no meals on planes, etc. At it's peak, it was a great way to travel with no bells and whistles but with great customer service (always had some of the nicest, most helpful staff in the business) and an on time flight. Those days are gone though.[/quote]
