Quite a few flights and glad to see MSY regaining flights as well. as for STL-MDW r/t, it used to be 14 r/t so...11 is still "not much" compared to what we had but glad to see SWA always adding, i am curious to see what they dropped out of STL to make STL-MDW work.

Booking Schedule has now been extended to august 3rd, 2006

Double daily ISP-LAS interesting..... Last year they did a second Sat departure on the LAS run but daily now wow. This really opens the west coast up to Long Islanders who don't want to do the JFK thing.
