Southwest closer to going abroad
 
Southwest Airlines on Thursday gave its clearest indication to date that the world's largest low-cost carrier would launch international flights for the first time.

The Dallas-based airline said it has furthered preparations to launch cross-border flights with partner ATA Airlines, though Gary Kelly, chief executive, said the domestic market would remain its primary focus over the next two years.

Flying to Canada during the summer and the Caribbean during the winter months would be a smart move.

By the way, the most expensive flight listed in the Sunday newspaper was West Palm Beach to Key West at $606 round-trip.

No. Where is it. I must say, I really enjoyed it on my last flight with British Airways. They came by with coffee after dinner. I said, no, but could I have another wine. They replied, "certainly," and "cheers." And of course, "no charge."

Southwest is offering every adult pax 2 free drinks when they board their flight at Dallas Love Field now thru May 29....

All American Airlines needs to do to get me to get one of their credit cards is to offer me a few free drink coupons. Don't these executives ever think?

The free booze on Southwest Airlines was a counter-marketing move against American Airlines for giving away 20,000 round trip tickets flying out of Love Field (of which my husband & I were glad recipients!)...competition is a good thing.
