BOSTON BOUND<\/strong><\/p>\n

Southwest Adds Another City to Its Network<\/strong>: You're forgiven if you think this is the same story as a few weeks ago: Southwest Airlines has announced its new routes and service from Boston's Logan Airport<\/a><\/strong> and the destinations it has chosen are Chicago\/Midway<\/a><\/strong> (five daily flights<\/a><\/strong>) and Baltimore\/Washington<\/a><\/strong> (five daily flights). Service begins on August 16 and advance-purchase fares range from $49-$89 each way. Southwest announced the same rollout recently for its new service from New York's LaGuardia Airport<\/a><\/strong>, which begins on June 28. Why are Midway and BWI getting so much attention? Well, for starters (and most importantly), both cities have enough point-to-point traffic to make it worth Southwest's time. And both cities have a substantial number of onward connections, meaning that flights to Midway allow travelers to tap into Southwest's Western network and the flights to BWI open up Southwest's Southern and Southeastern network.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
